This is a reblog from a Reverse Pygmalion. Indeed, I’m sort of mystified by what is going on here. Has this girl (and her fetching little hat) been sculpted out of stone by the Gorgon monster with her sword? Or has she perhaps been petrified? (Petrified and then on the brink of decapitation — that’s pretty harsh!)

I originally blogged this image in this 1 December 2013 post at Infernal Wonders, and found it at the tumblr Space Ghost Zombie, now defunct like so many other good things that once were on Tumblr, but at least partly preserved in the Internet Archive. I don’t know the exact provenance, but the artwork looks very much like that of American comics artist Bruce Timm (b. 1961). The image you see here is larger (click through if you want) than the original; I found it at the site PornHugo (warning: various popups).

This is a reblog of a 30 November 2013 post at Infernal Wonders, with an image originally from the (somewhat to my surprise) still-extant tumblr Suspect Unknown. It appears to be a promotion poster for the 1986 horror movie Bijo no harawata (Entrails of a Beautiful Woman).
Looks like someone’s about to mutate…

This image came from a now-deactivated tumblr Hella Bad Ass Shit, which is at least partially preserved in the Internet Archive. It is a reblog from a 26 November 2013 post at Infernal Wonders.
The original tumblr posting attributed this image to “David Miller.” A little searching shows that he is an artist in Phoenix, Arizona with a neat site, Primordial Creative. On his “About” page he has a neat, succinct statement about the origins of his inspiration:
As a child of the 70s and 80s, I was raised in a time of relative stability where the television acted as a surrogate parental figure. It was an era of practical special effects, educational puppetry, sugar-fueled Saturday mornings, Nintendo and anime introducing Japanese pop culture to Americans, and moral codes learned from superheroes rather than preachers.
The steady diet of childhood unreality led me to consider as an adult that such imaginative concepts found in entertainment have as much creativity, soul, truth and real-world effects as the most straightforward documentary project. The imagery and stories told in fantastical art pieces reflect the mass mind and history as much as any dry think-piece do. My artistic intent is to explore the fertile ground between Pop Art consciousness and Surreal unconsciousness with all available creative tools- digital software, chemical alternative processes, moving and still imagery, sound and sculpture and animation.
Preach it, brother!

This odd artwork first appeared at the Rebel 6 tumblr attributed to Eric Quezada with a link to what was apparently that artist’s site. The site itself is gone, but at least one copy of it survives on the Internet Wayback Machine.
