Kerstin zu Pan:: Sights from the Milky Way

Kerstin zu Pan's photography style is fearless in it's impersonal observation of the bizarre. Having started off as a painter, she is unafraid to create her own worlds within her imagery - most of these images featured here are from her unearthly "Milky Way" series that combines the real with just enough of the surreal to keep you off balance.

Mariel Clayton's Bad Barbie

   

Mariel Clayton's Bad Barbie will have you wondering about Barbie's secret life. Sure, she looks like a pretty girl, but what's it really like dating GI Joe if he comes home with PTSD?

“You can’t get to be Barbie without an ocean’s worth of peroxide, 27 plastic surgeries and a complete lack of intelligence, so it irritates me immensely that this is the toy of choice women give to their daughters to emulate,” says artist Mariel Clayton. “Behind the vacuous perpetual lipsticked-smile and soulless eyes lurks the black heart of the true sociopath, just like in real life.”

For the complete interview with Mariel Clayton, read “Bad Barbie: The Works of Mariel Clayton.”
