Bizarre Photo Collection of Agata Maria Stansz

Bizarre Art

Here's some bizarre and creepy photos from Agata Maria Stansz, who may need to go into therapy.

This strange photo collection included a model decked out in fur, tulle and lace seemingly lying on the floor, in most cases, looking completely dead, while being surrounded with religious icons.

An odd addition to her collection, which you can view here, is the an image where cats suddenly appear out of nowhere and become part of the story. Strange.

Zombie Fighters Prepare!

Zombies

You know they're coming. The zombies will soon be released in an attack around the world, and only those prepared will survive.

So I thought I'd include the ultimate in zombie survival gear, which simply includes the words: ‘In Case Of Zombies Break Glass.’

Inluded in your zombie survival kit is a shotgun, two handguns and two grenades.

This is too funny.

Weird Art | Woman with mouth held open

Weird Art

This is a strange photo of a woman having her mouth forcibly held open.

How about that for the way you dentist may work. "Don't be a wimp, just sit there and let me rip that tooth out. It'll hurt me more than it hurts you."

I think you'd be so focused on the stretching of you mouth and cheeks you wouldn't pay attention to the dentist about to extract your tooth.

Anyway, pretty extreme photo.

Extreme Photos from James Ostrer

Bizarre Art Trends

We've been touching on a little bit of the extreme or bizarre art theme lately, and here's another from James Ostrer, who like to photo provocative scenes like the one here with the dead ballerina hanging upside down with a rope around her ankles.

As with all strange and provocative art, I'm not always sure what the creator of the art is trying to say, other than to cut through the senses and be in your face with something that catches you off guard.

Anyway, if you like things different, you can check out his website, which even has the homepage looking a bit different and creepy.

Bizarre Homes | The Mushroom House

Bizarre Homes

Hyde Park located in a part of Cincinnati, Ohio, is the home to the Mushroom House, also known as Tree House.

It was designed by a professor of Architecture and Interior Design at the University of Cincinnati, Terry Brown, who is also an architect.

University students helped create the unique home, which was sold in 2006.

Surprisingly, there are a number of strange homes across the world dubbed the Mushroom House, each with its own unique design.

Bizarre Subcultures | The 'Non-human' Otherkin

Bizarre Subcultures

When investigating and looking at the Otherkin, it's a little bit hard to pinpoint specifics of who they are and what they represent. But one thing most of those that claim to be Otherkin, is that they are either not entirely human, or they aren't human at all.

Some of the things claimed by this subculture are they are trans-species, whereby somehow they were born in the wrong body.

Others make claims to being genetically different than humanity, citing things like a part of them being different than others, like how much hair on their body or different shapes of body parts than others have.

Another strange concept is they are travelers that entered into a body, and the original inhabitant or inhabitants are still there. Some believe the orginal inhabitant may have even left and others have entered to fill the vacuum.

Some of these things are attempted to be connected with incarnation, where a past incarnation has a strong impact on the present incarnation. I know, it gets weird. That's why I dubbed it a bizarre subculture.

Others calling themselves Otherkin go the vampire, angel, demon, elves, dragon and werewolf route, claiming all of these are part of a non-human existence on this earth, being lived in bodies looking humans.

It goes on and on. Much of it seems to be hyper-individual, and everyone claims to be something not human that comes in endless variations.

What do they do or represent? It doesn't seem to represent anything but to live in a fantasy world that helps them hide from the real world.

Goth | Goth Blog Showing Dressed and Sweating on a Hot Day

Goth

Talk about a targeted niche. A new website dedicated to posting on Goths wearing their heavy clothing and makeup in hot weather and then having visitors vote on the sweatiest Goth has been launched recently, and has a bunch of pictures with Goths wearing their usual clothing in the hot summer months.

While I've never thought of Goths in the hot summer months, it is interesting to see them in their extremely heavy clothing, committed to their wardrobe to the end.

Looking at a lot of them, they do seem to have things under control in general, as many don't seem to be sweating much, while others look like they feel the heat.

Interesting concept, but watching the reaction of Goths to the summer heat and how much they sweat isn't something I'm going to pursue any time soon.

But for those interested, now you can check it out whenever you want.

Bizarre Art | Now You Really Don't Want To Go To The Dentist

Bizarre Art

Creating photos that shock is of course a way of life for many people, and in this funny photo, we can see the caricature of how many people feel deep down about going to the dentist.

That's one thing about those that make these types of photos; sometimes their work borders on the meaningless, and says nothing, others, like this one, in a funny and exaggerated way, makes us laugh because it's connected to a reality all of us have felt one time or another.

I appreciate this type of art form more than that create primarily to only disgust.

Bizarre Celebrations | A Wedding Cake to Kill - Literally

Strange Wedding Cake

I'm not sure if you could call this a wedding cake or a divorce cake, but either way it definitely has a message to say, and you don't need any words to communicate it.

Do you ever wonder who sits around thinking up this stuff? A little scary.

Whoever thought up this cake takes life a little too seriously, unless, it's a subtle joke or hint from the bride what she has in store for him if he doesn't take his vows seriously.

Or in the case of it being a divorce cake, she's telling him what his end is about to be. Or in other words, she's going to suck him dry.

Extreme Tattoos | Square Tattoos on Man's Face and Body

Extreme Tattoos

What would your reaction be to seeing this guy which black and white square tattoos all over his face? My initial reaction is - break out the checkers.

Hey, without a board anywhere, you could ask him to put his face down sideways so you could play a game. Hehe.

Ok. I had to get that out of the way and say it. But really, I wonder what his reasoning and purpose behind this one is? He must love playing checkers or chess, or else otherwise - why?

There are a lot better ways a person could put tattoos on their body than this. I guess only the people deciding things like this can give us the answers

Bizarre Celebrations | Tossing Babies 50 Feet off of Tower

Bizarre Celebrations



Some of you may be highly disturbed by those video of throwing babies off the top of a 50 foot tower, and rightly so.

This is practiced in the an area of India named Solapur, in Maharashtra.

What's the reasoning behind it? Strangely enough, the parents believe their children will enjoy long and healthy lives after being tossed from the tower.

Now the secret is getting them to survive the plunge, which allegedly has never resulted in an injury.

I have to admit when you watch the babies fall and land, they've got it down to a science as far as the baby bouncing and being caught in one motion.

But still, I'm surprised no reports of broken necks or something have ever occurred.
Who practices this? Mostly Moslems, with a smaller number of Hindus participating.

Parents who have their children tossed normally do it after becoming pregnant after praying a what's called the Shrine of Baba Umer Dargah.

You would think just a call to mom and dad would be enough to celebrate. Anyway, what strange practice to toss your baby off of a 50-foot tower.

Goth | Goth Fashion Popular This Season

Goth

Looking at the fashion shows and collections this spring, goth fashion trends have been a very popular theme, along with the darkened shadow around the eyes.

Vogue Italia just released a collection from the likes of Nina Ricci, Yhoji and Yves Saint Laurent with a strong goth fashion statement shot by Craig McDean.

Some of these photos were strangely bizarre and eerie, as a number of models looked like they were mannequins.

Some of the more popular models took part in the shoot like Magdalena, Jourdan, Eniko and Evelina.

Bizarre Subcultures | Norwegian Black Metal

Bizarre Subcultures

Photographer Peter Beste has been known for his exploration of subcultures, and in his latest work, he shows us the type of culture surrounding Norwegian Black Metal. The book is named "True Norwegian Black Metal."

Norwegian Black Metal emerged in the early 1990s, with an extremely dark underside, which included murders and arson; especially against medieval wooden church buildings.

They've also been known do desecrate graveyards.

According to Beste, it originally started out as a juvenile fad, which quickly became a war against Christianity. It also advocates a return to the worship of Norse gods.

They completely reject mainstream society in all its forms.

Included in his book are a look at black metal acts like Darkthrone, Mayhem, Emperor, Satryicon, Enslaved and Immortal.

Weird Sculpture | Sculpted Caricatures by David O'Keefe

Weird Art

The sculpted caricatures of David O'Keefe are fascinating, in that they retain the likeness of the subjects, while at the same time adding a grotesque nature to them.

What's interesting in the caricatures are believable, while including the obvious distortion of their features. It seems O'Keefe is attempting to reveal something he feels is on the inside of the person, by enlarging certain aspects of their looks.

Of course he could just be having a lot of fun, which I'm sure he is either way.

But knowing artists, they always are looking at something from a different way than others do, and I'm sure O'Keefe is saying something through all his interesting works.

Weird Tattoos | Tattoos of Children of Celebrities - Maddox Pitt

Celebrity Tattoos


It's one thing for a celebrity to put the names or other related things to their children as tatoos on their bodies, but for someone else to take the likeness of a celebrity's child and tattoo it on their body, that just seems creepy to me.

Take this one of Maddox Pitt, the adopted child of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

My first thought is, why don't you go adopt your own child and tattoo their likeness on your skin. Or, have children of your own and do it.

This is like vicariously living your live through someone else's in an unhealthy way.

Weird Tattoos | Tattoos of Alien from Movies

Weird Tattoos

When looking around at the types of tattoos people wear, the film franchise 'Alien' seems to be growing in popularity, as it seems to be showing up a lot more than it used to.

Maybe it's the growing number of spinoffs that keep the creature in the minds of fans.

Either way, the look of the Alien itself lends itself to some pretty creative tattoos, and here's one that dark and evil looking.

Extreme Modification - Man with Face Looking Like it Met the Alien

Face Modification


I think we have another one of those people that just don't get enough attention.

Ok. There's a one-word question: Why? Comment if you think you have the answer.

What do you call something like this? It looks like the guy got beat up by the "Alien," and then the mob got hold of him.

I'm not sure how this was done. Was it a combination of modification and tattoo?

Bizarre Tattoos - Woman with 1896 Tattoo Map of Hometown on Back

Tattoos

Looking for something unique, but not wanting to simply copy what everyone else considered unique, a couple years ago Britta Oelschlaeger went on a search for something that would suit her.

That journey literally took about 10 years before she stumbled upon a 1896 map of her hometown of Hannover in Germany.

One of the parameters guiding Britta was she wanted it to cover her back.

Saying she loves maps, when she found the old one of Hannover, she jumped at the chance to have it inked on her back.

It tooks about 7 hours just for the outline you see in the photo to be completed, and a lot more for it to be colored in.

I guess you could call these guys the three amigos. In this case most of us are glad they're covered with tattoos, as it covers up a lot of what I have no desire to see.

Now we know one of the inspirations behind people putting tattoos all over their bodies; they and we don't have to see all their flaws.

That's the ultimate in cover up.
