futakuchi-onna (二口女
for sale
two-mouthed woman
In a small village there lived a stingy miser who, because he could not bear the expense of paying for food for a wife, lived entirely by himself.
One day he met a woman who did not eat anything, whom he immediately took for his wife. Because she never ate a thing, and was still a hard worker, the old miser was extraordinarily thrilled with her, but on the other hand he began to wonder why his stores of rice were steadily decreasing.
One day the man pretended to leave for work, but instead stayed behind to spy on his new wife. To his horror, he saw his wife’s hair part on the back of her head, her skull split wide revealing a gaping mouth. She unbound her hair, which reached out like tentacles to grasp the rice and shovel it into the hungry mouth.

Noface meets the Umibozu
Noface is a character I'm fond of from spirited away. He is an odd spirit. (カオナシ Kaonashi?, lit. "faceless"), an odd spirit who takes an interest in Chihiro. Seeing No-Face standing outside in the rain, Chihiro takes pity on the creature and lets him into the bathhouse to take shelter from the storm. At first, he appears to be a strange, demure, cloaked, masked wraith who seems mute other than his breathing and urging grunts. Seen as polite, calm, and quiet at first, No-Face is a lonely being who seems to sustain itself on the emotions of those he encounters, particularly their emotional reception to his gifts.
umibozu~ japanese sea monsters.

Yokai Hone-onna ::supernatural or unaccountable phenomena"
Hone-onna (骨女?, literally: skeleton woman) is a yōkai of Japanese folklore. Like her name suggests, her true form is that of a skeletal woman. In the guise of a beautiful woman, she lures unwitting men while she sucks the life force of her targets dry.

4 eyed Oni girl samurai :: supernatural or unaccountable phenomena"
Oni
One of the most well-known aspects of Japanese folklore is the oni, which is a sort of mountain-dwelling ogre, usually depicted with red, blue, brown or black skin, two horns on its head, a wide mouth filled with fangs, and wearing nothing but a tigerskin loincloth. It often carries an iron club or a giant sword. Oni are mostly depicted as evil, but can occasionally be the embodiment of an ambivalent natural force. They are, like many obake, associated with the direction northeast.

The worlds Second Most Awesome art market
Hey there check out the new show I'm going to be in for 3 days next weekend ^_^
I was going to do this show then I changed my mind a couple weeks ago I had a minor head injury and certainly learned my lesson about wearing fashionable boots on snow and sheets of ice. Despite my head injury which I thought was going to put me out for a bit has healed nicely so I think I'm going to give a shot. So if your in the area or want to take a nice weekend trip for a 3 day art market come on down ^_~
Get ready for an awesome three-day art event showcasing a diverse mix of talented artists who have amazing work in a broad range of styles and mediums all with a renegade vibe. Cooked up by Scott Shuffitt, Ron Jasin and Mary Yates, the Second Most Awesome Art Market was an answer to the more traditional arts and crafts markets offered in Kentucky. This awesome KY tradition has been taken and subverted by the trio to create an outside-the-box event packed with general awesomeness.

Art Show hours: 5-9PM
After Party: 9-11PM
Saturday March 6th

‘No Holds Barred’
Art 227
227 Chenoweth Lane
South African-born artist Emil Walton doesn’t consider himself a gallery owner, he just came upon this space in St. Matthews by way of his in-laws. “No Holds Barred,” the first exhibit at Art 227, features Walton and a handful of other local artists including Joy Wilson, Daniel Pfalzgraf, Jill Morgan, Andy Cook and Shandy Goodlet to name a few. “I’m not to sure what to expect, but my plan is to have numerous group shows for the next few months to give artists like myself a place to show their art,” he says. “If people come to see the shows, then I consider it a success. Every artist wants their art to be seen and talked about. If they make a sale, then it will be icing on the cake.” The closing reception is Friday from 6-11 p.m. —Sara Havens
