Ugly Art Dolls

I post allot of my artwork *mainly dolls and jewelry * and blog my views on life on here.I also post the occasional DIY art how to's and interesting things I find online. About my dolls and art:

For more info on my work visit http://www.uglyart.net All Ugly Art dolls are handmade from scratch molds of original sculptings by me Ugly Shyla. They are hand painted,hand fired, and all wigs, bodies, and costuming is handmade.

Ugly Art Dolls have been displayed in galleries, art shows and in the St. Elizabeth's Doll Museum; my dolls have also have been featured in print, in magazines such as Bizarre, Lollipop, SPIN, and Swag. My art dolls have also been photographed in John Santerineross' photography book, "Dream."

Ugly Art Dolls have also been used as photo props by Kattaryna Breaux, Caleb Storms, The Joker/Razorblade Grin, and Saryn Angel.

My main inspiration for my art dolls and other art is drawn from imagery captured within my dreams,and my artwork is also influenced by religious,spiritual and occult imagery.

These art dolls are known as fine art dolls; they are not children's toys. Some of the subject matter dealt with in my work is very serious, and the dolls are also too delicate to be handled by small children.

As well as a professional doll artist, I'm a established alternative model, modeling extensively for photographers such as Steve Diet Goedde, Lithium Picnic and John Santerineross.

I actually take my work very seriously,so comparing my work to toys,or dolls that are made to be pre-packaged non-conformity just annoys me.So does saying things like "if I buy one of your dolls will it kill me?,Again some of the subject matter I deal with in my work is very serious,so it's asinine to ask me stuff like that. If you want to know what kind of dolls I make check out the link to my site. My dolls range in price from 45.00 up to about 1000.00 or more.
