Natural Narratives: Artwork by Brian Dickenson

On Friday evening we went to our friend Brian Dickenson's art show. We have the honor of owning a few pieces of Brian's artwork including this gaff that I got as a birthday gift. Brian's artwork is macabre and beautiful, with elements of found objects, pieces of nature, taxidermy and antiques. I really enjoyed the art show and it so awesome to see so many people appreciating Brian's many talents.

The artist himself. :)

I opted to wear some bone jewelry, since I knew I was going to an art show with lots of bones. It's fun to dress in theme, hehehe! I'm also wearing a sigil t-shirt that is for my husband's tattoo shop. It was a fun limited addition t-shirt that he had printed up from sigil artwork a friend of ours did specially for Derek.

Weaing; bone earrings and wrist cuff (Derek got from Renn Faire), bone cross necklace (made by Derek), sigil t-shirt (Ink, Inc. Tattoo), studded belt and skirt (thrift), boots (Shoe Cult by Nasty Gal)

I hope you have a great Monday!

Thank you for reading, until next time!

Le Professeur Gothique's Monthly Homework : Artistic Inspirations

I took time out from my usual Wednesday's Link Round-Up to participate in Le Professeur Gothique's Monthly Homework Assignment and this month it is artistic inspirations. My husband is someone who inspires me on a daily basis from his drawings to paintings to art work on skin. Here are some of his Dead Mary's which became popular for years while he traveled around to tattoo conventions.

My husband has hand painted every single thing on these Dead Mary's as well as made the sculpt which he then turned into a mold to reproduce the Dead Mary plaster base. Amazing isn't it? He has such an eye for detail! I'm still amazed at the white/orange/green diamond pattern Dead Mary, all those little bats, witches, jack-o-lanterns are immaculate! 

Thanks for reading!
