More creepy miniatures, this time with an Italian flavor. What is it about suburban disasters and miniatures? Via BoingBoing.

Creepy miniature art

Toys + (suburban optimism * body parts) + time = creepy. Grace Weston knows this equation and exploits it mercilessly in her artwork. Her site quotes a reviewer saying “all in hyper-crisp focus,” but I think some of the fun here is the shallow focus of a macro lens. Lovely stuff. Via Neatorama.

Pulp — in 3D
Monday, May 21st, 2007
Thomas Allen cuts apart pulp fiction covers, and makes the tiny melodramatic characters spring out of the books. It’s like the opposite of what Gumby could do, but with 70% more lesbians. But it’s not all dime-store pulp: Allen does children’s books too. From the exhibit:
As a director would stage actors, Allen stages his cut-outs in ways that create humor, tension, mystery, and drama. A boxer fights his own shadow in Spar, and in Bookend a gunfighter stands over his recently fallen opponent. Although the characters are freed from the closed pages of books, the books themselves still remain present in each photograph. A ship sails across the curved pages of a dictionary-sized book in Swell. In Cover, a gunman finds safety behind the spine of a book. And in Recover, a worn paperback acts as a life raft to three weathered shipwreck survivors.
