if you cut off it’s head and dump baking soda, vinegar, and red food coloring down it’s neck, now THAT would be somethin’….
come on, folks….it’s a paper mache volcano with whiskers….

#6, Ninjagato, great minds think alike LOL I mentioned that eyeless wonder earlier…this one is a maid named Maria (naming her that is totally so politically incorrect)-looks like she is really constipated http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=37269517
You don’t see cat sarcophagi very often these days, and this one is unusual in that they appear to represent individuals rather than being decorated in a stylized, even abstract way. The associated personal name, a traditional one for pet cats, leads me to infer that this sarcophagus is occupied.
I do believe she has sucked the souls out of unsuspecting animals and humans and trapped them in whimsicle fuckery until the next Stephenie Meyer book series is released.
Her other items are even worse.
She thinks this one would work great in a bar.
But don’t most spittoons have a receptical?
Check out the clown one as well.
Swimming against the tide here, but I kinda like the cat and much of the rest of her stuff in her shop… it seems to reflect good humor, and a touch of folk art colors and motifs…
Oh for the love of God. Another person with less artistic talent than *I* have (which is basically none), and they’ve deluded themselves into thinking that their crappy excuses for “art” are actually worth MONEY. Seriously. Stuff like this just makes me mad.
Right after I laugh hysterically at whatever Helen says or Photoshops, of course.
Yes!
Cat lover who throw cat parties and need cat pinatas. Fill it up with some catnip and get the party started.
Maybe she could include some cat party hats and leis as a birthday kit.
The best comment I have regarding this, umm, artist, yes, let’s call her an artist, is that at least she’s not writing poetry for descriptions of her work. Please, let’s don’t go there. I much prefer “Cat”, or “Maid in Apron”. Really, what more can be said to sell these artistic expressions of plain ol’ fuckery?
Not a bad cat sculpture for a craft project or a high-school art class. Not worth $200, though. I personally don’t like her art, but I can see it being used in some people’s interior decor scheme. It would look horrible with shabby chic, but could brighten up a room done in shades of dark gray with extremely severe wrought-iron furniture.
what the hell?
I guess I’m not a cat person, so what the fuck would I do with a paper mache cat? Unless, I guess I was going to travel and photograph it everywhere I went… yes, of course, that makes perfect sense!
breezerweezy – I found that Wikipedia story fascinating, but I tend to like bizarre stories like that.
I kind of like the papier mache cat, but not $200 worth of like.
What’s with the thumbs-downer today? Why would someone bother to do that? I don’t get it.
This is the kind of stuff I remember seeing on display at my Junior High School art show. (See, I’m so old it was Junior High back then, not “middle school”.) I wouldn’t mind the bright colors and funky proportions so much if ANY of the pieces had eyes that were the same size. (The kissing lady with her eyes closed does not count!)
The look on this cat’ face is like: “I have to go to pee. I have to go right NOW! Look, when I say I have to go I mean I have to go, Dammit! I feel like my bladder is going to explode in a sec!!!!”..

that is one scary pinata!
it looks like the part of that rudolph movie when rudolph’s nose falls off and the other reindeer’s pupils go all funny

Her description makes me think the cat got her tongue.

“Great for cat lovers”…
Because everyone I know who loves their cat wants to see it in a bizzaro-world re-animated corpse kind of way.
December 29, 2009 at 2:19 pm
the eyes of this cat remind me of that creepy Jesus that my aunt had in her house where the eyes would follow you everywhere **shudder**

Around here you can go to the Taxadermist and get yah a real one stuffed for less then a couple hundred bucks.

This artist’s work immediately reminded me of the poor girl Carl Tanzler stuffed and mummifed in Key West in the 1930′s.

Especially the piece “The Bride”. I wonder if that poor woman was the artist’s muse, which would bring the artwork to a Whole Other Level…macabre.

As an added bonus, it will deter thieves. Nothing says ‘poor taste’ and ‘nothing of value’ like a statue of a cat with Downs Syndrome.
