Twisted Treasuries Presents Storefront Saturday: The Gothic Horrors of Dellamorteco

Dellamorteco has made a few appearances on Twisted Treasuries a few times before. The "Werewolf Fetal Skull" (click the Dellamorteco tag below for a refresher!) and the "Anatomical Heart Vase"  a little more recently in the Homemakers Horrors treasury.  I love reading the descriptions, you learn a bit of folklore, mythology and history from around the world and as a skull freak, Michael Locascio's work is one of my top ogling stops on etsy. Best thing, his statues, magnets and even the vases are affordable so I know one day-- one day something of his will make it's way to the mantle of my humble little crypt. The problem is, what to choose?!

 

 

The Nosferatu Fetal Skull

 

 

La Bafana Ornament

 

 

Tentacle Candlestick Holders

 

 

Queen Calavara Wall Plaque

 

 

Fruit Bat Ornament (one of 3-- love them all)

 

 

Stop by Dellamorteco at his etsy. You can read more about his process and inspiration on the shops about page.

 

Trust me: goth, steampunk or occultist alike, there's a little bit of something for everyone. If nothing else, check out his eccentrically macabre and genius fetal skull line. SO worth it.

Twisted Treasuries Presents Storefront Saturday: The Art of Jim Beanus

Coming across a new favorite shop on etsy isn't too hard. Sometimes it's much too easy. Of course you like them, they have great stuff. Fresh creativity. Things you wish you had thought of, but not all of them are going to completely blow you away. Some shops seer themselves into your memory, like a favorite movie... with Jim Beanus you get both!! (how was that for a segway? haha)

 

From Jaws to The Dude in The Big Lebowski, Ghostbusters and Encino Man to Die Hard, The Boondock Saints  and Aliens, there's a little bit of everything (even Pride and Prejudice!), your favorite scenes frozen in ink and marker. Simply stunning and at the same time a little hilarious. It's hard to look through his portfolio without and smile and the occasional gleeful, kid-in-a-candy-store squeal! The bio in his etsy says after a hiatus from drawing he started and after receiving a request and then a signed copy of one of his prints from one of the stars of Big Trouble in Little China he decided not to stop to get as many famous people sigs as he could. The man knows how to prioritize! ;)

 

Of course I love all movies, so his shop is doubly awesome, but there's no mistaking, we're here for horror on this blog, and there's no shortage in his collection. These are some of my favorites:

 

Shaun of the Dead- "White Lines"

Teen Wolf- "An Explanation is Probably Long Overdue"

A Nightmare on Elm Street- "You Could Drown You Know"

Ghostbuster "Venkman! I Saw It! I Saw It!"

Poltergeist- "Closet Ghost"

 

"Don't Touch My Babies!"

 

I think this one is my favorite!

Little Shop of Horrors- "You'll Be A Dentist"
