An impressive array of tikis in various forms: masks, statues, signs pointing the way to the nearest tropical bar, and a half-joking page of “tikis sold by the foot” for budget-constrained customers to get the biggest bang for the buck. Also bamboo lanterns, Easter Island lawn ornaments, and random kitschy nautical decor bits.

A Chicago brick-and-mortar that grew out of the Renegade Craft Fair and currently features over 300 artists. Clothes and accessories, jewelry, artwork, stationery, housewares, bath and body goods, stuffed animals, indie style in full swing through cute animals, vintage yearnings, cupcakes, and filthy-minded crossstitchery. Thanks, Miko!

A Des Moines art gallery specializing in the dark and morbid. Shameless pulp, unsettling black and white photography, surrealistic cartooning, the styles are diverse with a welcoming vibe towards outsider artists. Besides signed prints, they also showcase other horrific wares: monster masks, horror movie tees and toys, scream-filled pop art pendants, body jewelry that leans towards the demonic, evil dolls, and if you’re in the area, the in-person items include such delights as a “vintage case full of dead stuff.”

A tiny line of rockabilly tees and posters adorned with pinup chicks, sporting tattoos and up-to-no-good expressions. There’s also a little bit of rehabbed OOAK-wear and the jewelry page eschews any sparkle in favor of brass knuckles and assault weapons.

Rayguns! With names like The Unnatural Selector, The Manmelter, and The Moon Hater Death Ray, they’re shiny articulated weapons of retro-futuristic design (one of them a Victorian pistol), made limited edition and arriving nestled within a velvet-lined case, accompanied by crafting tools and various implements. Ammo is sold separately and rather elusive.

Decor and adornment replicated from art and artifacts around the world: Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Hindu, Asian, African, Aztec, medieval, and a touch of abstract modern are scattered throughout pages of historically-inspired jewelry and housewares. Loads of statuary from Buddha to Beethoven, the games include mummy bridge decks, the gadgetry runs towards sundials and hourglasses, and Frank Lloyd wright pops up in the earrings. Thanks Neil!

Art dolls fashioned from clay, wood, and found objects – tatterclad witches and gypsies with pensive faces, grave and reflective within gauzy veils and thick falls of hair. All are made one-of-a-kind, and there are also ornaments, trophy heads, and paganesque paintings.
