Well of course it is a work of art about power issues. We could have a mature discussion about that, sure, but who do you think we are? Around here at Craftstrophe, we’re about 2 weeks past thinking farts are hilarious, so what do you think we’ll make of this?
This piece deals with issues of power. The viewer is ultimately supposed to feel a sense of intrigue and repressed giddiness. It is a struggle between picking it up and going through with using it. Ideally I want the viewer to handle it and have fun with it but i want the weight of the piece to remind them what the topic is about.
I just have to say what my mom would say: “Be careful where you point that thing.”
This will be my last contribution to this lovely blog. And for my final Craftastrophe post, I of course wanted to find something good. Something indicative of my experience as both a Craftastrophe writer, and reader. Something that would celebrate the site, and all its disturbing,unnecessary, and ridiculously poorly made crafts.
How’s your nude body image? Feel like you could use a reminder to celebrate diversity in beauty? Want to excite your self esteem? Then I’ve got just the thing!
Exotic Soft Sculpture and cloth dolls are designed to arouse positive nude body image, excite high self-esteem and celebrate diversity in beauty.
How, you ask? Obviously just by being around you! Sit your cloth love doll on a folding stool in your house and admire her long skinny freak legs and short pointy hands! Check out her awesome lumpy body and shiny pillow lips! Snap at her signature sense of style and think, “Mmm hmm, you GO girl!” You’ll be feeling better about yourself in no time, I promise!
But positive nude body image through creepy doll emulation doesn’t come cheap. This diva will run you a cool $3,500–but trust me, she’s worth it. Unh hunh
One diva not enough? Don’t worry, she’s got friends!
Look kids, the zombie thing has officially gone too far. I like daydreaming about the undead as much as the next gal, but those dreams are never wet dreams. But obviously there’s someone out there who dreams of riding a zombie like the pony they never had. Why else would they bother to hand paint zombie dildos?
Zombi: All it wants is your warm human flesh. A bloated, rotting, pustulant abomination. Choose from a variety of festering colours.
Oh well, when you put it that way I can hardly wait to shove a rod of rotting, decaying flesh into my…dresser drawer.
This one’s nice because I don’t have to blur it out. As the seller says, it’s an abstract painting, and “In the style of Mad Men era graphic design, everyone sees something different in abstract art.”
