The Tie Lab

September 25th, 2007 // g + c

I came across these beautifully dark hand screened ties and was instantly in love with them. From black ravens or mangled poppies to an exhaust pipe schematic, the prints are well designed and come in a variety of colors. Don’t like a color scheme you see? Just message them with a custom order. The new fall 2007 line includes the “Strangle” which features red lines dripping from the neck and the “She Loves Me (Not)” that has flower prints with knives for petals among others.

We’ve transformed the most maligned accessory into a highly coveted, luxurious object. Each elegantly subversive tie is handmade of the finest and some of the most unusual materials.

At the heart of the Cyberoptix Tie Lab is the costume design division, where Bethany Shorb (Designer) has been making custom handmade work including the costumes for Skinny Puppy’s 2004 World Tour. Now if I can just get my paws on Ohgr’s costume I won’t ask for anything else - I promise!

Masks, Accessories and Playthings

September 24th, 2007 // g + c

Ok, so the first post should be about Goblin and Crumb right? I plan to cover many things with this blog including posting about dark clothing and accessory sites, art dolls and sculpture as well as links to inspirational artists. Also, I plan to eventually write a few how-to articles on doll-making and other DIY projects and I’ll post up other independent artists as well with links to their sites and galleries. Sounds like a huge undertaking… well it won’t happen all at once, we’ll see how it goes

Check out the latest additions to the Goblin and Crumb Store; The Triton Mask ($95 US) and the Pixy ($50 US). Both hand-sculpted and hand-painted and just in time for Halloween!
