[EDITOR'S NOTE: This post has been modified by Craftastrophe's administrators since the seller cried expressed concern that we were too harsh and that we had stolen her content, yadda, yadda, yadda. Seriously, she wrote a whole post about it (and no, I will not remove since it was submitted to our comments, FOUR TIMES and only didn't go through because spam blocks links called "suck a dick".) I don't usually submit to bullying, but she said fuck and - I'm pretty sure she meant it.]
[ADDITIONAL EDITOR'S NOTE: And our work here is DONE!]

For those of us who don’t find dolls creepy, the first thing that may come to mind when thinking about said doll could be “So tiny and precious!” or “Snuggly and soft!” And those would be fair assumptions. That is, until you saw this:
What you [were] looking at [was] a old porcelain doll with a DEER painted on his belly. [see Etsy link for her description] – and I can link to Etsy all I want.
What in GOD’S NAME IS GOING ON HERE?! Thanks to my very thorough calculations, there are about eighty hojillion things wrong with this piece of art which is selling for (please steady yourself) TWENTY TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS.
I have literally sat here staring at my computer screen blinking, mouth agape, for about fifteen minutes. This baby formed “itself from the ghosts of dead miners.” “. . .its little junk is an amethyst crystal.” “. . .hidden inside his crib, which is lined with automotive glass.” Please just stop. Stop talking now. Do you want me to weep? Because I am.

SOLD! It’s GENIOUS!

Crib… automotive glass?
Amethyst “junk”?
I’m going to have nightmares about this atrocity. Do you ever wonder whether people are TRYING to get their stuff on here?

She already gave us the answer, you just gotta read between the lines.
“an amethyst crystal”

Cheese and CHRIST! Have you read her Etsy profile? That’s some twisted sense of humour…

Never should have gone to her Etsy profile. Ever. The “stories” that go with her “art”? CREEPY CREEPY CREEPY CREEPY CREEPY!!! Not sleeping tonight – I’m afraid the Butterfly Queen is coming after me with her AK-47.

AUTOMOTIVE GLASS.
$2200.
TWENTY TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS.
ITS LITTLE JUNK.
A DEER ON THE BELLY.
But, according to her rant? We’re just rich Valley Girls who are JUST JELUS.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

So, after clicking the product link I can’t stop singing “It’s my doll in a box!” to the tune of “Dick In A Box.” Which seems a little perfect in light of the rant’s url title.
But you know, she does have me pegged. I, like, totally loved Sweet Valley High.
I also really want a t-shirt that says “P.S. Crystal penises are AWESOME.”

This fight… kind of made my day. The comment wars on her page are highly entertaining, and I really don’t think this site engages in anything nearly as insidious as her post would indicated. All in all, thank you, ONCE AGAIN, for the laughs, guys!

OMG this is awesome.
Just pure awesome.
And her reaction? Shit, comedy GOLD.
April 23rd, 2010 at 8:49 am
Okay…that piece of “art” is one hot mess. Who in their right mind would pay hard-earned money for that is beyond me. But, to whoever did, I would like to offer up the piece of “art” my son deposited in his diaper this morning for the low, low price of only $1999.00!

I find it very telling that Sunny gave this sculpture amethyst “junk.” Everyone loves amethyst, it’s believed to be a healing and pacifying stone. Common but beautiful and desired too. Every girl has a little piece of amethyst somewhere in the recesses of her jewelry box. You know, the largest 6 sided complete quartz crystal ever unearthed weighs 700 pounds and stands in a temple in India as– guess what? Yes– a lingam. Feel free to play with the symbolism there– precious baby boys, semi precious stones, references to “junk.” If you get a closer look at Sunny’s art– like in person– what you’ll find is that her babies have incredible attention to detail and lots of wild little symbols like these. I have seen her doll sculptures with beautifully embroidered Pablo Neruda poems embedded in their dresses like little secrets. I’ve had a lot of close experiences with Sunny’s art– her sculpture, clothing, paintings and writing and I believe she’s talented and brave. When you look at something that she has crafted, it has so many layers of detail, tiny gifts everywhere. Her dresses are stunning confections– it’s the only word that fits. So much love and strong craftsmanship goes into each piece– the wearers are lucky to own them. I think that to put yourself out there with humor, humility and candor and to then also be good at so many art forms is a powerful gift from an artist to the world. I am proud to call Sunny my friend and I love her work.

Can’t believe she sold that creepy piece of umm…. art…

April 25th, 2010 at 1:30 am
HOly Scmoly!! As an artist myself, with a BFA, I gotta call that…crap. I love me some weird art, but that is just a bunch of junk thrown together. She claims it’s a “90 year old porcelain” doll. Um, looks more like a vinyl Berjusa or Berenguer doll, circa 1990 to me! I don’t think they made those 90 years ago.
April 25th, 2010 at 12:34 pm
What did she have to reduce the price to in order to get that trash sold?
April 26th, 2010 at 11:13 am
Just stumbled across your blog for the first time and WOW. That whole scary artist baby junk in a box thing is absolutely craptastic. Thanks for sharing.
April 27th, 2010 at 10:13 am
Did anyone see the Mexican Bullfight dress where she loosely translated some spanish into “You thing is like a cheeto”????? Really????
April 28th, 2010 at 8:04 pm
I tried to read her complaint, but it was an incoherent, threatening mess that I couldn’t make it through it. It doesn’t seem she ever learned how to take criticism. Did she go to college? (I’m assuming she’s an adult.) How did she react when her professors criticized her work? Did she throw a fit and call them names?
I think she was complaining that no one really gets her art because we’re all uneducated and a bunch of [potty-mouth words]. First of all, her “sculpture” lacks unity. There is no directional force; the viewer’s eye is just free to wander over the mish-mash. I don’t know if the “amethyst junk” or the found object bird is the focal point. The big flower makes the composition unbalanced, as though it could tip over to the side. The deer on the chest doesn’t seem like it was planned out very well, and it doesn’t have enough contrast in the shading to make the shape discernable.

To the music of Fergie’s “My Humps”:
What you gon’ do with all that junk?
All that junk and artist’s scum?
Amethysts get, get, get, you drunk,
when combined with deers and junk.
My junk, my junk, my junk, my junk, my junk,
My junk, my junk, my junk, my lovely baby junk (Check it out)

That picture on that doll belly makes me think of a movie….Christopher Walken, Robert DiNero, hmmm Maybe they could use it for practice, and rid the world of that silly piece of junk. Oh Please….I thought it was a joke when I saw it, sorry she thinks that it is art.
April 30th, 2010 at 1:08 am
I personally think that her art is absolutely amazing! Listen, here is the thing – not all art is for everyone. I personally look at still life paintings (in case you all have no idea what that is it is where you take something in its “life” form (e.g flowers, a tea cup and saucer, etcetera – whatever you want it to be) and paint it using a photo-realistic style so it looks like a picture was taken of that image) and can admire the talent but do not like it, it is not my kind of art – still life. But I do not go around saying such mean and awful words. I happen to love her art and talent and would buy it in a heart beat if I had the money. Do you realize how much attention and detail went into that piece and every other one? Could you paint a deer on a baby and have it look like a real deer? Have you noticed the old man she painted in her shop? Could you make a painting look like a photograph? Okay I get it, you think it is creepy, you think it is junk, you think it is garbage; keep that to yourself and stop putting her work down. Everyone has different opinions and taste and that is just life. It means nothing and going to college has absolutely NOTHING to do with the art; someone said they have a BFA and they call it crap, well I finished school at 9 and have an extremely high IQ and I call it art. See opinions differ and it has nothing to do with college or anything other than personal taste. So it is not your style, move the fuck on and stop putting her work down because it is art whether you like it or not and I think she is extremely talented myself. Not everyone can paint the way she can, and beyond that not everyone has a creative spark that comes up with the brilliance that she throws together. It is called creativity and everyone’s is different. If you hate it then shut up and stop being so mean. I get it, it is a free country, freedom of speech, but people have even gone to her blog and left mean and nasty comments there. It is completely unnecessary. I have many a times come across a piece of art that I do not like but I do not take the time to put it down because whats the point – I have better things to do and I am sure there is SOMEONE out there who loves it. That is the nature of art. And with her writing, I think it is brilliant and she is the best damn writer I have come across. It is fiction people, meant to evoke certain images and feelings – or to make you laugh. She was being creative and I love the stories that go along with it. Again, not all writing is for everyone just like some like science novels, some like romance, others medical and others mystery. Not all books and writings are for everyone, so her stories may not be your taste, SO WHAT, it does not mean it is awful. She has amazing talent and I think the woman is absolutely brilliant! And the people who run this blog who posted a link for all newcomers to be able to go back to this post….let it go already. It is over, done, dead.
April 30th, 2010 at 1:09 am
I think it is fucking awesome and all of you guys here suck ass!
April 30th, 2010 at 1:10 am
Best piece of art I have EVER seen. You guys are so lame if you cannot see how awesome this is.
April 30th, 2010 at 1:11 am
So cool. She is so talented. I am so glad I stumbled across this and wish that it was still for sale.
April 30th, 2010 at 1:12 am
That piece is what I call ART!
April 30th, 2010 at 1:13 am
You guys are stupid because that is talent!
May 4th, 2010 at 11:22 am
The fact that someone spent $2200 on that makes me cry.
She should STFU since your post probably got her the attention needed from someone rich idiot out there to feel enough sorry for her to buy it. Now she feels vindicated in her banal attempt to pass off something so hideous as “art”.
Oh, and her writing on her blog is so stellar, she should TOTALLY become an author! Write novels about making creepy baby dolls and killing people who don’t agree with her “art” because she’s completely right and everyone who doesn’t like her work is an asshole.
