Strange Moon Art gothic witch dollArt 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.

Frame Fetish gothic deco picture framesA picture-framing service where you send in your images and they come back in a custom-fit display. The themes include auto flames, tiki bamboo, pinup curves, coffins and crosses, whatever inspirations jump out of the picture to be captured in a complementary border. And if you have nothing to send, they also offer prints from Shag, Robert Williams, and a handful of modern surrealists.

Nik Markovina gothic industrial silver skull sculptureSculpture that sharpens the motifs of medieval goth into strange jewels and decor pieces, with fantastic digressions into the ocean. Boxes like cathedrals for tiny dragons, stingrays smoothed into silver spikes, candlesticks where the light is steadied by wings and claws, eroded skull faces that look like a handful of biker rings left underwater for half a century, beautifully weird insectile fish. There’s also artwork which continues the darkness but in a much more colorful, pop-art way. No prices but you’re welcome to contact for purchasing info. Thanks, Jannis!

Cute little 50’s dresses given the psychotic embellishments of sailboats, innocentHot Pink Pistol Bambi boots animals, and deceased rap stars handpainted onto the skirts: a leopard wrap dress from which David Bowie glowers in his Labyrinth hair, Tupac contemplative from within a white leopard capsleever, a purple sheath livened up with the visage of Prince. Suitcases also bear this distinctive handiwork, so do canvases. Custom welcome.

Old Fashion Halloween vintage black cat artVintage and vintage-style goodies for those who prefer to celebrate Hallows’ Eve with a retro touch – or update year-round goth decor with spiderweb table runners. Tons and tons of party decorations, including some actual antiques, and pages for jack o’lanterns, Day of the Dead, and fortunetelling. The original art section includes Kerrykate dolls, Haunting Memories glass skull ornaments, handpainted dancing skeleton umbrellas, and Queen of Hearts sweetly morbid wedding plates, and the Cards section is a goldmine of old-world imagery chock full of black cats and flying witches. Absolutely loaded with great finds for the haunt-minded home.

Tormented Artifacts

Tormented Artifacts leather Butoh maskAn imaginative little smorgasboard of wearables and curiosities fusing occult experimentation with steampunk exploration and just a touch of cyber. Leather masks dip into pagan and fantastical themes, getting absolutely insane in the gasmask section. Other accessories include tribal-futuristic bondagey gauntlets and eyepatches and elegant pendulum necklaces. And the art pieces are just fun: arcane boxes and books and scrolls and blades, an elixir case with a couple of “missing” potions, fossils and skulls from ancient monsters. Quite a bit of one-of-a-kind here, and custom is welcome.
