I’ll have a review of Melissa Milgrom’s Still Life: Adventures in Taxidermy up later today, but for now, to tide you over, why don’t you take a trip to The Washington Post’s Peeps Show IV and check out the dioramas each one featuring those sugary colored marshmallow rabbits and chicks. While Eep was the winner (as well it should be, it is a wonderful take on Pixar’s Up), my personal favorite was the following literary offering based on one of the best books of 2009: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Take a look:
“Semifinalist: Based on the best-selling novel by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith, dioramists Dayle Cristinzio of Silver Springs and Kasey Gillette of the District depict a ballroom scene with traditional dancing and zombie mayhem in ‘Peeps and Prejudice and Zombies.’ Note the period costumes, original Peep oil painting above the mantle and working chandelier.”
Sweeeeeeet!
