Some very interesting porcelain dolls by Russian artist Sasha Petrovka. The one posted at the top has a modern look while other creations by her have a more fantastic feeling. They remind me of an anorexic version of Alice in Wonderland or at least something like a snapshot of the point where Alice eats from the mushroom and grows incredible big. 

The exaggerated frailty of the dolls is definitely disturbing and it would be simple to add some kind of commentary on modeling and anorexia. Without knowing the artists true intentions it is difficult to know whether that is actually the case with her creations. If anything, I found it interesting to see* that Sasha Petrovka is quite fragile as well when it comes to her bodily proportions…

Unfortunately, there I can not dig up much info about her but there are some videos on her website (in Russian which I do not understand).

* You can watch some youtube videos in Russian on her website and there are quite a few NSFW photos of her on Facebook.

I like crazy weird monsters.

A simple reblog today but oh so amazing. Thanks to Chris Ryniak I found this:

This is Asmodeus! He’s a big sweetheart. The crow skull around his neck is his familiar, Nybbas who is very chatty.

Asmodeus is hand sewn with hand painted ears, face and claws that are cast in plastic. Glass eyes with hand sculpted horns. His necklace also features carves mammoth bone beads courtesy of another doll maker, Remjie!

He is just over 15” from horn tip to toe claws. Floppy style doll with no armature, stuffed with soft polyfill. While he can be cuddled, take care of him. He’s not meant for very small children!
