I seem to have developed quite a taste for voodoo designs lately. Maybe it's the fascinating mixture of occult, intense imagery, religious syncretism and multicultural influences that cause lots of strange and beautiful things to happen. A fine example is Denise Alvarado's work for the Voodoo Butik store.

Both the the wild-eyed voodoo dolls of the postcard and the mysterious collage on the bookplate showcase  folk art's dynamism and voodoo's unique flavor of spirituality. Check the store for more colorful artwork!

Black business

Make personalized shirts using zazzle.com

This creepy design takes us to dark territories again.A stylized demonic entity dressed like a businessman can be an otherworldly figure, the quintessential Man in Black (not the lovable movie characters). Then again, it could be just an ordinary corporate nightmare -and I can't decide what is worse!
What's more unsettling than the wings is the wide smile on this ominous fellow's face. Kudos to Babydoll Chic for this t-shirt, guaranteed to satisfy all the weird-minded people like me! This store's products stay focused on the strange, pulp and retro side of life, which is fine in my book, especially when there's lots of dark humor involved.

Tesla strikes back

More Tesla T-Shirts

Being fascinated by the life and work of Nikola Tesla (the genius scientist and inventor who is described as having "invented the 20th century") I can't help falling for this great ringer shirt.
Tesla's known inventions -including alternating current, radio, remote control and, possibly, the loudspeaker- changed the world, but the surreality starts with his more obscure and even more intriguing studies on death-rays, extraterrestrial radio communications and flying machines! No wonder that scientists, geeks, occultists and eccentricity lovers alike admire this man. Well, now they have the t-shirt to prove it!
