These little guys are a perfect example of the latest trend in modern art dolls- creepicute or "Creepy-Cute" characters. These are exactly what it sounds like. They are so creepy, so dark or so strange that they are cute.
Prime examples of the movement are anything made by Tim Burton, Edward Gorey or those super trendy "ugly dolls". While these have been around for some time now, artists and doll makers all over the world have started adding a splash of creep to their latest collections.
The dolls above sort of remind me of a mix between the oogie boogie man and the sand snakes from beetlejuice... what do you think? Is this a trend or something that's here to stay?
