BLEEDING ART: Kim Graham

Seattle-based artist Kim Graham takes the stuff of sword and sorcery cliche - the trolls, the mermaids and dragons - and brings it all to life in her own strange and wonderful way, sculpting creatures so real you keep expecting to catch them breathing. Her gigantic paper-mâché troll looks like an oak-sized Tolkien Ent who has somehow tromped out of Middle Earth and into our world, while her animal funeral urns sensitively capture the character of the lost pets they honor. And if you've always wanted to be a fantastic creature yourself, Graham can even hook you up with "digilegs," a working pair of mechanical satyr legs. Prepare to be amazed (and seriously creeped out) as you watch them in action in the video below.
