Now, What do you call THIS?

After all that about cuteness, what happens if you take all that cute stuff, and distort it, till it becomes on the verge of dark. I just ran across this artists, through one of my many link searches. Artist Marion Peck takes it a little father than is, perhaps, comfortable for most. Here I go, exposing my darker side. However, I must qualify this last statement, this entire post for that matter, with explaining that... although this may not be for the faint of heart (or the extreme left-wingers), this stuff must be viewed with a sense of humor. A friend of mine once said, if he had a band he was going to name it "Nervous Laughter." This definitely comes to mind when viewing these strange and dark, yet delicate and deliberate portraits of Marion Peck. The animals are especially pathetic, in that nervous, lovely, funny sort of way. Enjoy.

loloko: What doesn it mean?

Surely it must mean "cute."
I just came back to this site, and it suddenly donned on me (more likely I forgot) how low, low, LOW their prices are. Go check out loloko. What a deal for such cuteness! I love little things to brighten up the house with humor and cheer! Who doesn't need a little smile when they go to reach for a paperclip, fridge magnent, note holder, etc.
Someone said to me, "Why would you advertise for other people's items, when it may discourage them from buying yours?" Well.... I don;t think it really does. I probably wouldn't blog something that was like my stuff, only better. Wait... is there such a thing? Nah. ;) This stuff is all very different and fun, and if someone wants to spend their money somewhere else, they have that right. I think we should all feel good about our purchases, and the last thing I would want to do is corner someone into a sale. I can't STAND prssure sales, and I don't hide it. That doesn't bring them back, or encourage them to say good things about you. I just love sharing the darling, cute, sweet, fun, did I say cute? little things out there in the world!
