Polly Becker - Tactile Illustrations.

I recently came across this artist/ illustrator and i am totally baffled by her work :) She creates little characters (or assemblages) from all kinds of odds and ends, old dolls, collage, textile elements, jewellery etc. and photographs them against a white background - in a way that makes them seem as if they could be real.

 It's not just the figures she creates that really interest me but also the concepts - on looking through her gallery (link) you can really see the connection between the pose, or expression of the figure and how that represents an issue or explains the article the piece was comissioned for. Here are some examples of her weirdly brilliant creations...

Kind of creepy edited photos

These are some photographs of dolls i took for a college project a while ago, i thought i'd put them on here :) I edited these by flipping/copying the photos and i think i ended up with some quite interesting, kind of freaky looking images.

Using the same technique i also edited these picture of Lady Gaga, and i think she's still pretty even with 3 eyes haha.
