Keep it Weird: The Canon
In the discipline of art history, there is a rich legacy of challenging social norms aesthetically. I think the iconic heavyweights of the Pop Art or Renaissance movements would wholly approve of the off-center homages on Etsy. Looking for inspiration? This week's Keep it Weird is a crash course in the …
Keep it Weird: Three-Ring Circus
Walking around the streets of New York tends to feel like a circus regardless; on Halloween, this is merely more apparent. The lurking figure in the distance who sends fear into the hearts of children and adults alike is not the headless zombie mother-in-law, but rather the colorful, bouncing, grinning …
Keep it Weird: Bone Thugs
With Halloween a week away and Dia de los Muertos swiftly following, there's no better time to celebrate the internal structure of our bodies. When I come back from the dead, I hope I'll be pop and locking my fleshless limbs 'til they grind to a nice soft powder. The skulls and skeletons on Etsy must have drunk …
How-Tuesday: Headless Marie Antoinette Costume From Makezine
Okay, people, it's crunch time. There is only one weekend left between now and Halloween, and if you've been a delinquent with purchasing your Gaga hairbows or spider wings, Makezine's got you covered. Today's How-Tuesday is a Headless Marie Antoinette Costume from Nicole Magne. I love how this ensemble is …
Keep it Weird: Breast Wishes (Mature!)
Before caffeine or fossil fuels, there is a universal addiction from which we all must wean ourselves at a young age. The alluring appendages have served not just as a source of nourishment and stimulation, but also as artistic inspiration for generations. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and …
Keep it Weird: Domo Arigato
I'd say there are few things I fear irrationally, and robots are one of them. Particularly robots with emotions. So when the zombie apocalypse comes, I think I'd rather surrender than join forces with squads of artificial intelligence. Despite my squeamishness over emoting electro-mechanical machines …
Keep it Weird: Zombie Jamboree
Does the Halloween spirit possess your soul? No other holiday values the tradition of eccentricity with quite as much enthusiasm. So splatter some blood on that evening gown, bake up a feast of sinewy desserts, and embrace the undead monster you face each morning in your bathroom mirror. This edition of …
Forum Hussies Take it Offline
The Etc. section has a reputation as the “anything goes” area of the Etsy Forums. Things can get a bit out of hand at times, and topics can run the gamut from “what’s for dinner?” to a “singles mingle” and beyond. In search of a safe haven and some camaraderie, Etsy artist Karmarox started the first thread entitled …
Keep it Weird: Excretions and Secretions
Creativity just oozes from Etsians' pores, and I suppose it was inevitable that in this Keep it Weird series, I would need to address our many other discharges as well. Our bodies are compulsive makers of all sorts of products; we merely need to look inward for crafting inspiration. The artistic innovators …
Keep it Weird: Outer Limits
NASA may have plans to retire its space shuttle operations, but the artisans on Etsy who escape the gravitational pull of conformity are continuing their interstellar voyages with vigor. This week's Keep it Weird takes me into a parallel universe of art and craft, where aliens and astronauts alike …
