These are from all around the world, but with an oddly high majority of them being in Norway. The weirdest of which being within just two parks in Oslo--Vigeland Park & Frogner Park.

can you imagine waking up to a few of those in your bedroom? I think that's why Xanax was invented.

I really like most of these.. aside from the ones with children. The underwater one is awesome along with many others

His name is Jason DeCaires Taylor. I learned of him from a spread they did on him in Hi-Fructose--a magazine I used to subscribe to. He's the only underwater sculptor I know about, as most artists aren't crazy about the idea of coral reefs consuming their work within a few years. That was the whole point with him though, and archiving the process is what nice technical photography was invented for.

Coolest statue I've ever seen.

Agreed! It's so funny. It's in that Norwegian park as well. There's just so much fucky business up in that place, it could fill its own post easily. I guess most of it might not be allowed here though--no sense wasting the effort if it's just gonna get removed. Really bananas stuff though. Just random naked children crying in the forest, or up trees, away from all the other stuff--hidden like.

These are all really cool. I feel like creepy is a more proper description than “evil”.

Very interesting stuff.

You're probably right for sure. It was just the title of a small directory on a hard drive I was parsing through recently while looking for some other art. It highly gravitated around those those few in Norway in the first five images. The uselessness of resisting the constriction of the armoured nightmare reptilian cat mollusks. Now those, I really do find Evil--Evil as all get out.
My mind always reels while looking at them--I love them so much. They remind me of the backstory of the Alien movies--revealed most explicitly in Prometheus, the Borg, or some of the interpretations of the biblical book of Enoch. Genetically modified monkey slaves, or humans, bread into bondage, and into the servitude of some horrible cloaked parasitical life form. The only thing that could make those statues any scarier to me is if they started popping up in places like City Of London, Brussels, Venice, Malta, Zurich, or if more were unearthed from somewhere like Carthage, old Phoenicia and Babylon. So really, following the historic migration of gold, and its symbiotic uses for humans as a, like, resource more or less--like beacons of the untethered perambulatory system of control.

More from Norway. I like the upside down baby with the girl being thrown by her pigtails in the background.

*Usually I post photos at at least 1000pix across, so you can click zoom on them to better see some of the things in the background, details, and facial expressions.

A few gave me the heebie jeebies.

Why all the dicks? What is with stone carvers preferring to make a permanent structure, and spend 4 hours of their carving time trying to detail a dick and balls?
