Melted Crayon Barbie Sculptures

David Kime SculptureWe don't blog much art here on SNP, but these new pieces from David Kime seemed too cool to ignore.

He takes chicken wire, yarn, melted crayons, shredded plastic buckets and aluminum cans, doll heads and other found objects, and morphs them into weird looking creatures that you might expect to find in a book of demonology.

In fact, on his webpage, it mentions that these sculptures "represent a kind of exorcism of the demons which have plagued his subconscious mind."

The particular piece depicted here is entitled, "Pre-hysteric # 32", and sells for $100.00.

My inner child isn't going anywhere near that. It makes me think of the demented creations of Sid from Toy Story.

I started making my prehisteric doll sculptures several years before Toy Story came out. I have done male dolls that were militant looking, like J I Joe.
