Designer Jose Paulo Alves Corceiro came up with this “Nasty Set” for serving tea. Sure, I think the square cups might present something of a drinking challenge but they do look somewhat charming despite their frowns. It’s hard not to look at this collection and consider it the wandering monster tea set. Via Yanko Design.
The insane Moloch: cute and horrible
This series is somewhat inspired by the poem “Howl” by A. Ginsberg. It’s about the dark side of capitalism and the dangers of conformity in the United States. Even with lyrics like this – I got to admit, these Molochs do have their cute side! What sphinx of cement and aluminum bashed open their skulls […]

The Toilet Monster
Some monsters are especially scary because they’re good at getting you while you’re vulnerable. Imagine, then, that you might pay actual money in order to lure one into your home and into your smallest room. Yes; I’m speaking of the dreaded loo demon, the toilet monster, the crapper creature, the bog boggin! This dangerous menace […]
The Trollface train
I can’t tell you much about this picture – but I wanted to share it. This scary train was surfaced by a Russian LiveJournal account without any credit to any artist. It’s described as “trollface”. I can certainly see trolls with faces in there! I rather like “trollface train” as a title for it. Checking […]
Watch where you put your hands – monster bikinis

It turns out that the team at Pale Horse Designs have exactly what we need for this blog post. Thanks. Now. A word of caution. I did title this post “Watch where […]
Balloon monsters
Larry Moss is quite some guy! He was the founder of one the first websites on the internet outside of academic circles. It was BallonHQ.com and althuogh the domainer in me can’t but help wonder if he could have done any better… it’s still shows thought leadership years ahead of almost everyone else. Larry is […]
Cute monsters hidden in lithographs
Creatures & Ives is a tribute to lithographs and a tribute to monsters. Who knew the two went together so well? This is the project of talented Chris Trout who started this on April 1st, no joke, and plans to do one a day for 91 days. Part of his challenge is to find old […]
Terminix channels Lovecraft horrors via the TV
I love the Scottish summer. It’s my favourite week of the year. One advantage of Scotland’s weather is that there’s far less pesky insects. There’s nothing that’s really going to eat your house. We’re not all so lucky. Over in the States there’s a company called Terminix that earns its income from helping homeowners deal […]
