Latest Quirky World window display.. Zarkey Monster.

Josh designed up another window display the other day.. This time it features Zarkey Monster in his forest.. along with Norbit and the Yummy Tummy Hedgehog... cute, huh? As you can see Im taking full advantage of window space whilst I still have it....

My Blythe Dolls... including Custom Blythe Sumi

I have been collecting Blythe Dolls for a few years now but have recently stopped adding to the collection.. You have to draw the line at some stage... My favourite is my Lounging Lovely, Sumi, who was my first doll and was given a mohair re root, new lashes, make up, and eye chips...

I enjoy taking photos of them out and about in nature, which does turn peoples heads... My favourite shoot was at Semaphore Beach of 2 Gals in their Bikini's.I hid them in the dunes amongst the Pig Face, and managed to get a few good shots... Another fav shoot was at the Japanese Himeji Gardens where we had a meet up with other Adelaide collectors.

For my Birthday last year, a really good friend "made" me a Boy Blythe. He has an ADG head and a Brats Boy body, hence Abs of steel....And yes, his feet do pull of... Ugh, how I detest Brats... But this is one cool lookin dude that all the girls fight over....

Most of the clothes the girls are wearing in the photos I made. I havent made any clothes in such a long time but it is something I want to get back into when I have time..

Enjoy Xx

The man behind the Quirky World website..Meet Joshua Smith

Josh has been a friend of mine for many years and is a renound stencil artist based here in Adelaide...Josh has held many exhibitions of his work here in Adelaide and across Australia and the world. His work is amazing so I recommend that you check it out on his website. http://www.iknowjoshuasmith.com.au/

Josh is a freelance designer and illustrator and so jumped at the chance to design the Quirky World website. Seeing as websites are not his forte, I think Josh has done an amazing job. The site is simple and easy to navigate and he has received excellent feedback...

I have a number of Josh's artwork in my collection including an image of one of my Blythe Dolls, Johnny Depp, A Self portrait, The Blue Lady and James Darren (Moondoggie from the Gidget movies).

The day it looked like snow in the city!!

A few weeks ago Adelaide was hit by a hailstorm. Although they were only the size of a pea, they sure looked good piled up in the corner of the new amazing wall mural. This is opposite my shop, so I had to run and take some happy snaps.... :)

I only have 5 weeks to go until I close my retail clothing shop, (Im holding back the tears), so Im utilising the space and opportunity to promote Quirky World, with a window display.

Monster Alert...Meet Zarkey, Norbit,and Troy.Illustrations by Joshua Smith

Let me introduce you to the Monsters of Quirky World... Affectionately known around the traps as "THE THREE AMIGOS".

Troy, the crazy stripey tee guy is Mr. Crazy! He's mad for Dutch licorice, late night chats with himself, bad TV, eating chillies whole and riding downhill blindfolded. I warned you!.....Crazy!

Norbit was the first monster of his kind to be sent on a month long expedition by rocket to the planet Zippy. That was 5 years ago! Norbit and the green Zippoid creatures are the best of friends, so much so, Norbit won't be blasting off anytime soon.

Zarkey is one crazy mixed up little monster. Banished from his home planet Zarkoid 10 years ago for misappropriations, he now lives the monster high life in Quirky World.
