furry green car

i saw this furry green car the first day i was in berlin. i instantly knew i was going to like the place!



i wish i had a driving licence so i could have a furry car. i would play music really LOUD and drive really FAST and i'd probably die in a car crash after a month.. soo yeah, maybe i could get a furry bike instead.. and since i'm not safe in traffic; a furry helmet to go with it.

belly button tattoos

what a very strange tattoo trend..






ok, so this isn't a belly button tattoo, but i sort of thought it fitted in with the rest nevertheless:


hmmm i love tattoos, and i'm all for humour and all that and i don't consider myself *too* conservative.. yet.. it feels like tattoos like these are best enjoyed on safe distance - on someone else's skin, on the internet. i wouldn't like something similar on my boyfriend. or on my younger brother.

paintings by scott hutchison






war paint aceo


war paint girl aceo! when i was younger and wore a lot of scary make-up like black lipstick and the like, my mother said as i was going out the door; "ooh i see you have your war paint on".

it is an ink drawing/ painting on water colour paper. the hair has lots of purple glitter in it but it's hard to tell from this rubbish scan. it's impossible to scan glitter!

knitted human hair sculptures by chrystl rijkeboer

"Where people are, there are emotions. Where emotions are, I find my subjects. My working material is litteral direct taken from the human. Just as the emotions. Material and subject are the base for my work.
The reason I work with human hair, is that hair has symbolic significance: beauty, strength, health, attraction, etc. The moment it is separated from the human all these factors turn around, hair is considered dirty, unsavory and dead.
Human hair is a hyper-individual material, which I felt or spin into yarn.
The objects and installation I create are divided between soft, touchable and an anxious distance. The tension that arises is highly dominated by the impact of the material. The work is figurative and recognizable but shape and proportions are not necessarily correct or ‘beautiful’, what matter is the sensation they evoke. You can always view my work in two ways: kind, pleasant and innocent, or frightening, condemning and guilty." - chrystl rijkeboer









..hmm i wonder if my boyfriend would be happy if i cut my hair off and used it to knit him a funky hat?

google image search

i'm a google image search addict.. i just can't stop. i look at all sorts of stuff. i try to come up with clever search terms to get the best photos. like this one:


this posing man is the result of a google image search session i did ages ago. i re-discovered it on my well stocked hard drive today.

the name of the file is "fucked up", so i guess that was what i was searching for. it's a bit trite, i must have ran out of clever things to search for..

i don't think the guy in the picture is that fucked up to be honest, but it's a great picture nevertheless.

is he trying to be funny, or is he trying to be sexy? or both?? what do you think?

bathtub painting

i can't find any more work by this artist, maybe i got the name of the artist wrong; brian berassi.


i have no idea how many paintings i've seen of people in bathtubs. and i always tend to like them - i even planned to make one myself, but after seeing countless depictions of it, i sort of didn't feel the need any longer.

i like this bathtub-painting because it's all dark and a bit unsettling. the yellow-green shades of the water, and the blue tones of the body gives me an eerie, sick impression.
