Crayons as Art

Pete Goldlust creates crayon art, but it's not quite what you might be thinking. He also does playful wall installations, odd prints and other whimsical yet monstrous things.

Interesting and disturbing in equal measures.

Wow, very cool and darkly whimsical. What's the deal with the larger, darker blobbies imprisoning or otherwise tormenting the smaller, pinker, more femme blobbies? Or am I projecting again?

Whoa...I want to stick a screw in the back of this one and open my underwear drawer with it ever after.

Which is to say, this one.

His artist statement talks about libidinous and predatory things, so I don't think you're projecting at all, tula.

Huh. As it turns out, there are *other* crayon sculpters out there.

These are neat but I'd hate to see how delicate my toddler would be with one.

And don't leave them in the car on a hot day!
