'mondays child' is more of an example really as Caesar has done others in this vein. its not just the 'carriage' vs the 'divers helmet' its also the way its automated and has 'arms'. i wasnt saying it was plagiarism, or even imitation but i think you could definitely file it under insperation.

Stayin' on topic with more helmets.. I'm a great admirer of Marina Bychkova's doll sculptures, but as great as this is...  "Bride of Frankenstein" by Marina Bychkova, 2008 ... I just couldn't help being reminded of this:  "Helmet Girl" by Camille d'Errico, ca. 2007 |

uhh well i guess so, i think i was more insulted in the fact that you had to diss Roman Dirge along with comparing the two images. (personal perspective)  side not: funny that your names Miffy horror, i know there is a model who goes by Miffy but she looks nothing like your icon. Anyways, Meisje met de parel by Johannes Vermeer  and Abi La Rue by sgriob modelmayhem.com #422960   |

On the subject of branchlike arms, I can't help but think of Svankmajer's Little Otik (oh, that scream, that horrible scream!)  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0228687/*waves at Miss Miffy Horror*  |

p.s. the name miffy horror came from a photo where i sewed my lips together :x  this by Eugenio Recuenco reminds me of this  by Mark Rydan I love Rydan but i think i might prefer the Recuenco :s |

Nice one! I had the very same Recuenco image saved to post here! I don't really know how to describe Little Otik...it's a deeply odd film. A childless couple finds an anthropomorphic burl and decides to treat it their own child. This clip has some interesting snippets (if you ignore the random music added) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6B-upsklsQP.S. Yaaay! Treats in the mail!!!

this by Eugenio Recuenco I might be wrong, but I think Ryden's "Creatrix" was created a year before that Recuenco photograph. As a matter of fact, I remember having to think of Ryden's " The Debutante" (1998) when I first saw Eugenio's photograph. I must therefore assume that it was monsieur Recuenco who "borrowed" a bit here and there. |

i really rather want to see that film  i love svankmajer <3 yes-'The Debutante' was the one i originally thought of when i saw Recuenco's (mainly because of the ornate gold frames) but couldnt find it. it seems to be a bit of an amalgamation of the two. |

I've really been enjoying this thread and finnally came across something to contribute...  Endymion by George Frederic Watts - inspired by this golden oldie? :  The brain-shape, the reclining nude and the touch of life/sleep from a heavenly creature to a mortal man. |

I must say, there can never be too many push-me pull me creatures in the world...especially ones as delightful as these...!  Les Deux Garcons, Le destin bon, 2007  Elizabeth McGrath, The White Deer, 2005 Whimsically behatted, bisected pigs...the next BIG thing (apparently)... (*Suzanne, perhaps you can help with dates? Neither artist's website lists them.) Les Deux Garcons Link to more: http://artkitchen.altenter.nl/artist.php?id=107 Elizabeth McGrath, 2008  ...and of course, all roads lead back to Hirst!  Damian Hirst, Love's Paradox, 2007 *Edit note: I'll add piggy dates as I find them... |
