To be honest, these have always creeped and repulsed the living Hell out of me. I attended a show of Farmer’s in NYC, lasted about 10 minutes and then I hightailed it out of there; I was just that bothered. They’re fantastic, though, so here you are:
Tessa Farmer - Swarm (2004) - mixed media, desiccated insect remains, dried plant roots, and other organic ephemera
“Farmer’s tiny sculptures give a glimpse into the world of fairies. No story-book land of Tinkerbells, Swarm envisions the purveyors of mischief and magic as an actual species, as animalistic and Darwinian as any other.
Exchanging Victorian romanticism for the darker pragmatism of science, Farmer evidences her specimens as fearsome skeletal fiends, plausible ‘Hell’s Angels’ of a microscopic apocalypse.
Posed in dramatic battle formations, Farmer’s menagerie wages war against garden variety pests; each figure, painstakingly hand crafted and adorned with real insect wings, stands less than 1 cm tall.”

“Vertebrata” by Marc da Cunha Lopes.
Skeletons of questionable origin in a variety of domestic and human settings, arranged to carry a solemn and often pensive look, as the sole subject of a seemingly abandoned world. Careful use of light and color palette lends the tableaus an unexpected sense of drama and character to these at once imaginative and delightfully weird collection of photographs which breaths life and emotion into the inanimate creatures, giving them a narrative that dabbles with the notions of loss and emptiness.

From The Earth Story Facebook:
While it certainly looks as though someone has taken a great deal of paint to these hills, these colours in fact formed naturally.
This unique geological formation is known as the Zhangye Danxia landform, found in southern China. It was formed by sediments laid down in a low-elevation fault basin during the Cretaceous period, which then experienced uplift due to their position on top of various fault zones. The various colours are a result of the erosion of the thick-bedded red sandstone and conglomerate: from running water erosion, biological effect, chemical precipitation and organic staining.(via ohscience)

Back in the dayz, I did some comics based off of letters submitted to the New York Times Metro Diary. I’ve been in a comics drawing slump so I decided to do some more to get me back in the zone. NYT hit me up, look at these gems I’m dropping on you!
