Bones of Baby Dolls

just felt like sharing some great stuff i came across today:

#1: casa tóló





'casa tóló' is the creation of portuguese architect álvaro leite siza vieira, son of the 1992 pritzker prize winner álvaro siza vieira. located on a steep hill in northern portugual, siza was confronted with a difficult building site. instead of fighting the natural environment, the architect embraced it using the slope as the home’s main characteristic.' +more

#2: Amazing Gutter Art






"The 6emeia project was created and developed by the artists Anderson Augusto, also known as SÃO, and Leonardo Delafuente, also known as Delafuente. The duo live in the Barra Funda neighborhood of São Paulo where they began the project with the purpose of changing and transforming daily life.
The duo's objective is to modify the means within which we all live, proposing a new way to view things by reflecting upon themes generated through creative and unusual works. Such modifications are made by painting storm drains, light posts, manhole covers and any other object which makes up the urban scenario." +more

#3: Body Art




"emma hack is what is known as a ‘body artist’ meaning her canvas of choice is the human body. using wallpaper designed by florence broadhurst, hack painted models to match, making them literally disappear into the wall." +more

Mississippi Ghosts



inspired by the music of the almighty Down; bigger && stock credits here

haven't done it in a long time, so here it goes, some recommendations:

music: Dax Riggs. The man behind the great Acid Bath. After their end, he had two other bands, Agents of Oblivion (awesome!) and Deadboy and the Elephantman (haven't check this one yet), and then went solo. So far, two albuns, easily among the best i found recently: We Sing Only of Blood or Love and If This Is Hell, Then I'm Lucky (recorded originally with Deadboy, but released only this year, under his name);

movies: Mark Of The Devil and Let Sleeping Corpses Lie; this last one is probably one of the best zombie movies ever made. They may be not as ugly and decaying as the ones from Night or Dawn Of The Dead, the movie itself may be not as bloody and fucked up as Braindead or Evil Dead, but some of its (darkest) scenes scared me to death and, of course, made me love zombies even more. Also, the (very unknown) actors did a pretty good work on it!
Mark of the Devil is probably the most brutal, cruel and raw movie i've seen lately. It takes place in the 17th century, and follows the story of a witchfinder apprentice and his master. The torture scenes are incredible and it gives you a great ideia about how things worked at that time between the religious ones and the (not always) witches.

and yeah, that's it for now xxx
