Haunting femininity


Vintage beauty? Check. Christian imagery? Check. Tattooed lady? Check. Luchador mask? Check. Weird mood that combines goth with surrealism? Check.
This ingenious design (created by Ross Farrel and found at Ross Farrel Design) makes a fabulous burnout t-shirt and showcases Ross's talent and imagination. He is a true master of splendidly executed weird ideas. Go check him out!

Lucha libre

Lucha libre is Spanish for free wrestling -a sport much adored in Mexico. Mexican luchadores provide a truly sensational show, based on their agility and their talent at performing astonishing aerial moves. Most luchadores are masked (a tradition that may have come down all the way from the Aztecs).
The mask of a menacing luchador is the basis for this powerful design from 21gunsalute, a store full of stylish, urban coolness.
I love the one-colored simplicity and, most of all, the angle of this side profile. This is a seriously great t-shirt and you really don't need to know anything about Lucha libre to appreciate it's modernity.

Bunnies dream of Victoriana

Bunny Dreams bag
Bunny Dreams by AnitaInverarity
Create your own personalized bag at zazzle.com
What a crazy bag! Bunnies flying over psychedelic flowers -and a mouse. I really love their expression. The artist is Anita Inverarity from Scotland, a lady that does wonders with pen and ink, mainly in a Neo-Victorian style. Her work is both tender and mysterious, evocative of a nostalgic past (yet, at times, full of dark undertones of Gothic doom, or maybe I'm seeing things...)

Either way, there are great things to see in her store. Me, I would be happy with this great mug, where masquerade meets great artistry!

Cool and lazy


Top notch designs, like this excellent take an a Chinese theater mask, make me drool and search for more. And more is better, if you are looking at the fine work available at Designlazy, ranging from the wonderfully maximalistic...

... to the deliciously and surprising minimalistic, like this one:


Nothing lazy in the unique, mega-cool artwork that can be found at this store. Strictly shirts (though I'd love to see some if these designs in print) and full of surreal themes and ideas. Definitely one of my favorite places on the interwebs.
