Twitter and Monstrous Dolls

Recently, I decided to do a few things to be a bit more sociable online. This blog is one of those things. Also, I signed up on Twitter, which is a sort-of mini-blog on the topic of "What are you doing?".

A little while later, I logged back in to post an update and found that someone was following me (I'm not paranoid, that's what they call subscribing to your posts on Twitter). I figured it was like what I call "friend spam" on MySpace.

I was surprised and delighted to see that my first "follower" makes unique dolls, some of them rather monstrous. At this writing the front page features a Christmas ornament with an odd Santa head, on what looks like a seahorse.

Check out the Whimsical & Strange Art of D. Kirkpatrick for yourself. There's also a photostream on Flickr.
