Hand Some Devils Puppets

Working on a new show has me excited for the process of learning how to make the new characters come to life, much like how I finally (mere hours before the show, because I’m a professional) learned how to make angsty Victor Frankenstein gaze into the eyes of his monster lover for my last livestream (cathartic screams of delight followed this video) #oddities, #beautifulbizarre, #odditiesandcuriosities, #surrealism, #sculpture, #surrealart, #popart, #curiosities, #surreal42, #oddlysatisfying, #teeth, #dentalart, #surrealsculpture, #shellart, #contemporaryart, #bizarreart, #bizarre, #glasseyes, #odditiesfleamarket, #orthodontics, #betweenmirrors, #beautifulbizarremagazine, #artdiscovered, #popsurrealism, #artsanity, #smallworks, #surrealismartcommunity, #surrealistart, #hifructose, #smallsculpture

Little Mel the Moon sits in on lyre practice. Decided to dust off Gwendolyn the harp and teach myself this song today. It’s still QUITE rough, (I’m definitely not holding it right and I’m nowhere near removing the sticky-note string labels and the end mostly descends into chaos) but that’s what practice is for, kids. If you don’t try new things you die a little, a worse death than that of the embarrassment of internet failure. (And because I am not my father in a van on the way back from childhood ballet practice, no I did not attempt that high note) 🎵🎶: “Take On Me” by A-Ha #oddities, #beautifulbizarre, #odditiesandcuriosities, #surrealism, #sculpture, #surrealart, #popart, #curiosities, #surreal42, #oddlysatisfying, #teeth, #dentalart, #surrealsculpture, #shellart, #contemporaryart, #bizarreart, #bizarre, #glasseyes, #odditiesfleamarket, #orthodontics, #betweenmirrors, #beautifulbizarremagazine, #artdiscovered, #popsurrealism, #artsanity, #smallworks, #surrealismartcommunity, #surrealistart, #hifructose, #smallsculpture

Turns out that two years ago today, little Magdalene got her body. She’s currently in a crumbly little world-wearied heap after many a tour, but here she is in her prime. Happy sad little birthday, Magdalene. #oddities, #beautifulbizarre, #odditiesandcuriosities, #surrealism, #sculpture, #surrealart, #popart, #curiosities, #surreal42, #oddlysatisfying, #teeth, #dentalart, #surrealsculpture, #shellart, #contemporaryart, #bizarreart, #bizarre, #glasseyes, #odditiesfleamarket, #orthodontics, #betweenmirrors, #beautifulbizarremagazine, #artdiscovered, #popsurrealism, #artsanity, #smallworks, #surrealismartcommunity, #surrealistart, #hifructose, #smallsculpture

What was supposed to be a video of these two gracefully dancing/bowing together ending up being chaos and I got grumpy and gave up. Months later I realized what it actually looks like they’re doing. Puppets are truly such brats. #oddities, #beautifulbizarre, #odditiesandcuriosities, #surrealism, #sculpture, #surrealart, #popart, #curiosities, #surreal42, #oddlysatisfying, #teeth, #dentalart, #surrealsculpture, #shellart, #contemporaryart, #bizarreart, #bizarre, #glasseyes, #odditiesfleamarket, #orthodontics, #betweenmirrors, #beautifulbizarremagazine, #artdiscovered, #popsurrealism, #artsanity, #smallworks, #surrealismartcommunity, #surrealistart, #hifructose, #smallsculpture

Joan of Arc shows off her new bob. Her armor is going to be a combination of metal and clay because I’m not a total masochist and I am going to be a combination of thrilled and trepidatious because I only have so many un-sliced fingertips left. #oddities, #beautifulbizarre, #odditiesandcuriosities, #surrealism, #sculpture, #surrealart, #popart, #curiosities, #surreal42, #oddlysatisfying, #teeth, #dentalart, #surrealsculpture, #shellart, #contemporaryart, #bizarreart, #bizarre, #glasseyes, #odditiesfleamarket, #orthodontics, #betweenmirrors, #beautifulbizarremagazine, #artdiscovered, #popsurrealism, #artsanity, #smallworks, #surrealismartcommunity, #surrealistart, #hifructose, #smallsculpture

He still needs the little patches on his outfit and a ring on his pull-string before the presaIe becomes official (very soon I promise), but I was too completely in love to not share his progress. I look this video right before forcing myself to set him aside and sleep at 2am, then realized I could still see him perched upon my workstation from my bed and just continued to heart-eyes the hell out of him because puppets are not a realm you have to have any chill in, ever. Trust me, I’m a professional. All I do is lose my gourd over these little idiots and if I reeled it in it just wouldn’t be HDP. {hand sculpted, hand stitched, articulated Sam from the film “Trick r Treat”} #oddities, #beautifulbizarre, #odditiesandcuriosities, #surrealism, #sculpture, #surrealart, #popart, #curiosities, #surreal42, #oddlysatisfying, #teeth, #dentalart, #surrealsculpture, #shellart, #contemporaryart, #bizarreart, #bizarre, #glasseyes, #odditiesfleamarket, #orthodontics, #betweenmirrors, #beautifulbizarremagazine, #artdiscovered, #popsurrealism, #artsanity, #smallworks, #surrealismartcommunity, #surrealistart, #hifructose, #smallsculpture

Magdalene got her chance to shine (translation: weep, moan) today. Full version is over on my Patreon! She’s been forced to retire due to the state of the world and has just been sitting, rotting (more than is typical of a rotting corpse) so she deserved a little love. In Mount Moriah, bleak, serene, I saw a grave marked Magdalene. The ground was cold, no longer green where lay the girl called Magdalene. I asked her does she ever weep, alone with memories in the deep? Is dying just a lot like sleep? But Magdalene, her secrets, keeps. I wonder, oh stargazing queen while staring up, what have you seen? Through years of earth and rot obscene, what do the stars say, Magdelene? #oddities, #beautifulbizarre, #odditiesandcuriosities, #surrealism, #sculpture, #surrealart, #popart, #curiosities, #surreal42, #oddlysatisfying, #teeth, #dentalart, #surrealsculpture, #shellart, #contemporaryart, #bizarreart, #bizarre, #glasseyes, #odditiesfleamarket, #orthodontics, #betweenmirrors, #beautifulbizarremagazine, #artdiscovered, #popsurrealism, #artsanity, #smallworks, #surrealismartcommunity, #surrealistart, #hifructose, #smallsculpture

She still needs her strings, but Joan is at last complete, standing, greeting the sun. I got in a bit over my head last month and am still trying to catch up, still trying to clear my head and my roster, so her process has been stretched out, sprinkled among monsters and moon babies and movie characters. A welcome calm, despite being one of the most difficult costumes I’ve ever made. Welcome to the tabletop, Joan of Arc. You’ve brought your bravery at just the right time. #oddities, #beautifulbizarre, #odditiesandcuriosities, #surrealism, #sculpture, #surrealart, #popart, #curiosities, #surreal42, #oddlysatisfying, #teeth, #dentalart, #surrealsculpture, #shellart, #contemporaryart, #bizarreart, #bizarre, #glasseyes, #odditiesfleamarket, #orthodontics, #betweenmirrors, #beautifulbizarremagazine, #artdiscovered, #popsurrealism, #artsanity, #smallworks, #surrealismartcommunity, #surrealistart, #hifructose, #smallsculpture

At long last, the dust of an over-booked month slowly begins to clear, and Magenta can have her moment. At this point the phrase “digging through my hair-trunk for the perfect red” should surprise no one, but for any newcomers, that is in fact the next step. #oddities, #beautifulbizarre, #odditiesandcuriosities, #surrealism, #sculpture, #surrealart, #popart, #curiosities, #surreal42, #oddlysatisfying, #teeth, #dentalart, #surrealsculpture, #shellart, #contemporaryart, #bizarreart, #bizarre, #glasseyes, #odditiesfleamarket, #orthodontics, #betweenmirrors, #beautifulbizarremagazine, #artdiscovered, #popsurrealism, #artsanity, #smallworks, #surrealismartcommunity, #surrealistart, #hifructose, #smallsculpture

Never has a puppet so delighted in my fingers’ suffering as this fellow has. Despite him being a particularly intricate pain in my ass, this costume is going to be so much fun (“pain and pleasure, indivisible”) I needed a break from gowns and tailcoats. #oddities, #beautifulbizarre, #odditiesandcuriosities, #surrealism, #sculpture, #surrealart, #popart, #curiosities, #surreal42, #oddlysatisfying, #teeth, #dentalart, #surrealsculpture, #shellart, #contemporaryart, #bizarreart, #bizarre, #glasseyes, #odditiesfleamarket, #orthodontics, #betweenmirrors, #beautifulbizarremagazine, #artdiscovered, #popsurrealism, #artsanity, #smallworks, #surrealismartcommunity, #surrealistart, #hifructose, #smallsculpture

She wore a great robe of melancholy. "See how it glistens, how it warms me, beautifies me. She ran her hand across the soft velvet of her mourning, studying it, marveling at it, as the grain submitted to her palm, darkening, brightening, darkening, brightening. "How lovely is my loss. How poetic is the delicate scrawling of the furrows on my brow.” She knows she was made sad. Sculpted with a pained expression, with empty grasping hands. But in her little clay ears was whispered these affirmations, night after night. Her heart of cloth kept these secrets close. Her immortal wooden shoulders would not carry the weight of her grief for eternity (puppets never die). It would instead be fastened around her neck in a cascade of crimson. #oddities, #beautifulbizarre, #odditiesandcuriosities, #surrealism, #sculpture, #surrealart, #popart, #curiosities, #surreal42, #oddlysatisfying, #teeth, #dentalart, #surrealsculpture, #shellart, #contemporaryart, #bizarreart, #bizarre, #glasseyes, #odditiesfleamarket, #orthodontics, #betweenmirrors, #beautifulbizarremagazine, #artdiscovered, #popsurrealism, #artsanity, #smallworks, #surrealismartcommunity, #surrealistart, #hifructose, #smallsculpture

Why yes it IS more of the black-clad moon baby because honestly how the hell can you blame me. Just look at her. All of my puppets know that I love them but I’m afraid it’s become glaringly obvious to them who I love the most and I fear for what will happen to me while I sleep. There’s no shortage of weaponry around this house and the only thing I imbue my puppets with more than love is angst so…I have it coming. #oddities, #beautifulbizarre, #odditiesandcuriosities, #surrealism, #sculpture, #surrealart, #popart, #curiosities, #surreal42, #oddlysatisfying, #teeth, #dentalart, #surrealsculpture, #shellart, #contemporaryart, #bizarreart, #bizarre, #glasseyes, #odditiesfleamarket, #orthodontics, #betweenmirrors, #beautifulbizarremagazine, #artdiscovered, #popsurrealism, #artsanity, #smallworks, #surrealismartcommunity, #surrealistart, #hifructose, #smallsculpture

Will I ever learn to harp and sing at the same time? Maybe. Did I forget to cancel my free trial of this collage app and now we may never have to find out? Yup. I’ve been feeling especially detached from y’all on here these days. It’s never been a medium I thrive in but lately it has been even more of a desperate scramble to hold on to what makes us more than just numbers. So hi, hello, I am Han and here’s my big sad face singing a little sad song (“Saturday Morning” by Tom Chapin) cause nothing makes me feel more real than melancholic wailing. {private living room recording studio/cat provided by mkaioh08 } #oddities, #beautifulbizarre, #odditiesandcuriosities, #surrealism, #sculpture, #surrealart, #popart, #curiosities, #surreal42, #oddlysatisfying, #teeth, #dentalart, #surrealsculpture, #shellart, #contemporaryart, #bizarreart, #bizarre, #glasseyes, #odditiesfleamarket, #orthodontics, #betweenmirrors, #beautifulbizarremagazine, #artdiscovered, #popsurrealism, #artsanity, #smallworks, #surrealismartcommunity, #surrealistart, #hifructose, #smallsculpture

I made this tiny Nick Cave head almost 4 years ago (ouch…time, y’all) and even though it pains me to look at it because I feel like my heads have gotten bigger and better since then, I can’t bring myself to toss it out. He still tells a little mournful story of where I was in life when I made him. And if I ever choose to start him anew, his new self will tell a new story. Little pins on a road map. Sigh. I love puppets so dang much. #oddities, #beautifulbizarre, #odditiesandcuriosities, #surrealism, #sculpture, #surrealart, #popart, #curiosities, #surreal42, #oddlysatisfying, #teeth, #dentalart, #surrealsculpture, #shellart, #contemporaryart, #bizarreart, #bizarre, #glasseyes, #odditiesfleamarket, #orthodontics, #betweenmirrors, #beautifulbizarremagazine, #artdiscovered, #popsurrealism, #artsanity, #smallworks, #surrealismartcommunity, #surrealistart, #hifructose, #smallsculpture

He still needs his bangles and baubles and instruments of extreme torture, but dang it feels good to have this bad boy assembled at last. And fun fact, this was not a commissioned piece I just made him for the heck of it, so I could be sweet-talked into surrendering him if there is any serious interest {please don’t DM me about it though, that place is a horrifying nether realm I tend to steer clear of, my email is in my bio} #oddities, #beautifulbizarre, #odditiesandcuriosities, #surrealism, #sculpture, #surrealart, #popart, #curiosities, #surreal42, #oddlysatisfying, #teeth, #dentalart, #surrealsculpture, #shellart, #contemporaryart, #bizarreart, #bizarre, #glasseyes, #odditiesfleamarket, #orthodontics, #betweenmirrors, #beautifulbizarremagazine, #artdiscovered, #popsurrealism, #artsanity, #smallworks, #surrealismartcommunity, #surrealistart, #hifructose, #smallsculpture

When the rat queen discovers the front-facing camera, there is just no reeling her in. Sure, she’s vain, but she was made to be a queen, you can’t really blame her.

Magenta says “I may be dressed like a maid, but this mess is aaaall you, dude”. Every time I think I’m gonna take a second to tidy the tabletop, a little face will longingly beg for completion, a little hand will tap its fingers impatiently, and I just can’t bare to spare the time. #oddities, #beautifulbizarre, #odditiesandcuriosities, #surrealism, #sculpture, #surrealart, #popart, #curiosities, #surreal42, #oddlysatisfying, #teeth, #dentalart, #surrealsculpture, #shellart, #contemporaryart, #bizarreart, #bizarre, #glasseyes, #odditiesfleamarket, #orthodontics, #betweenmirrors, #beautifulbizarremagazine, #artdiscovered, #popsurrealism, #artsanity, #smallworks, #surrealismartcommunity, #surrealistart, #hifructose, #smallsculpture

Tried a new glue for this wig and I paid for it with a whole dang day of my life yesterday. But in the morning’s light, as puppets often prove, I can’t even be mad. I am quite proud of this Bartertown Babe. {she is not a commission but is a one-of-a-kind and will be tossed onto the website when she’s done.

I’m sure the hellscape of torment he’s used to is a little tidier but I appreciate that he keeps his judgement to himself. I can just imagine him and the Cenobites gossiping on break “I mean I’ve left entrails about for aesthetics but beer cans? Get me outta here”. I had every intention of this being his ‘available at last’ announcement but…I mean look at him. Maybe it’s the meat hooks he put in my heart but I’m having trouble letting go. Serious attempts to convince me otherwise can be sent to my email and I’ll let you know his details 🖤 #oddities, #beautifulbizarre, #odditiesandcuriosities, #surrealism, #sculpture, #surrealart, #popart, #curiosities, #surreal42, #oddlysatisfying, #teeth, #dentalart, #surrealsculpture, #shellart, #contemporaryart, #bizarreart, #bizarre, #glasseyes, #odditiesfleamarket, #orthodontics, #betweenmirrors, #beautifulbizarremagazine, #artdiscovered, #popsurrealism, #artsanity, #smallworks, #surrealismartcommunity, #surrealistart, #hifructose, #smallsculpture
