So amazing! From her website: "Each of these handbuilt roomboxes is an art gallery of collected works from around the world.roomboxes can be purchased, and come with all the lights, accessories

I've been a bit lax in my blog updates. The monsters you see above were Adam's present for Fathers day this year. They were custom made by German artist Caroline Gaedechens. The kicker? They glow in the dark. So amazing.Caroline's website : http://www.carolinegaedechens.com/

Miniature GolfI have had many fixations in my life but miniature golf or putt putt has a very special place in my heart and has always created a stir within me since I was a child. Those animal statues, wind mills, castles and gingerbread houses, look like large scale folk art sculptures or scaled down roadside attractions. Several of these courses had elaborate water features and landscaping

The cat faces were always a signifier to me that we were almost home.As an adult while traveling the Interstate 5 N. bound (somewhere between the Los Feliz exit and the 134 interchange

Even though I was only able get as far as a dog and a bunny I was really excited to create them for the kids and especially for my daughter. The day of the party I got started twisting the balloons into shapes, unfortunately I was

I love this little sculpture that Adam made so much. I convinced him to start making them to sell.The photography for his sculptures are a little hard, especially since I am not a photographer. They really look so much better in person.We did a two person show a quite a few years ago called "Seamonsters See Monsters" which was probably the start of my obsession with mythical sea creatures.~

Well, if you are at all familiar with our Etsy shop, you'll know that Adam has a bit of an obsession with all things cryptid. And since Etsy just rolled out the long awaited Alchemy feature where you can request custom work from artists, I wanted to show everyone what I gave Adam for Valentines Day this year.photo courtesy of missbehavenIt's a custom made papier mache Bigfoot Figurine made by

I recently rediscovered Mold-A-Ramas. I haven’t thought about them since the age of 9. They’re plastic figurines molded right before your eyes by a vending machine that looks like it could be right of a 1950’s sci-fi movie. Mold-A-Rama machines were usually located in zoos, museums, and theme parks. They produced all types of figurines, most were animals and dinosaurs but there were various
