Tragic Beauties

Author: Facemelter | Posted: 12/15/09 12:04 am


Tragic Beauties is a photo series by Barbara Abel documenting antique wax mannequins that sat in a “dimly lit mannequin warehouse in downtown Detroit. There they sat, covered in plastic for decades, until a few years ago when they were sold to collectors.”

More pictures at Marieaunet (where the above images are from) and Barbara’s site.

Stunt Rock

Author: Facemelter | Posted: 12/14/09 3:56 pm

This is pretty unbelievable.

Stunt Rock:

Australia’s premier stuntman, Grant Page, is on a mission: filmmaker Brian Trenchard Smith has sent him to LA to work on a TV series. Here he meets up with fellow daredevil Cutis Hyde, who does stunt work for a theatrical rock band called Sorcery, and Page impresses the rockers so much with his daredevil antics that they hire him as well. While his first stunt lands him in the hospital, the reckless Page defies his doctors orders, escaping out of the ward’s fifth-story window to get back to the band. Page soon finds himself the focus of the ladies, attracting both a newspaper reporter (Margaret Gerard) and a television star (Monique van de Ven).

Featuring non-stop action, a killer soundtrack and a bit of romance on the side, STUNT ROCK is an adrenaline-filled, cult classic that is sweeping the midnight circuit!

Did that guy really punch a cougar with a left hook at the two minute mark?

Dust

Author: Facemelter | Posted: 12/10/09 11:18 pm


Paul Hazelton’s sculptures are made of dust.

The dust of everyday life – the unavoidable and necessary by-product of living, engrosses me. Art, also an unavoidable and necessary by-product of living, engrosses me. Art, like dust, is a residue of life and therefore, the making of art is like an extreme act of self-exfoliation. For me, making art is a per-version of life that has many possible diversions. Sometimes these diversions take you somewhere unexpected, sometimes somewhere gross but you have to keep going.

TV Carnage

Author: Facemelter | Posted: 11/19/09 5:07 pm


These DVD’s are total mind fucks in the best possible way.

In case you don’t know: Each TV CARNAGE volume is hundreds of hours of exceptionally bad TV lovingly fused together into an hour plus; glorious cesspools of retardation. These are the compilations that have been featured and loved by VICE MAGAZINE, NME, SHARPEWORLD, FORT DRASIC, OK FLAVOR, DAILY CANDY (see CARNAGE KUDOS for more) and shown in festivals and porn theatres throughout North America, Europe and Japan.

Get them here.
