Wool Sculptures by Salman Khoshroo


I'm envious of people who are good at making things with their hands. I'll likely never be able to create something worthy of a gallery spot, but guys like Salman Khoshroo can. These are some wool sculptures crafted by the Iranian artist. When I look at his creations, I just want to run my fingers along them to feel each and every thread.




Aside from these interesting pieces, Salman also has been creating large foam paintings, thick impasto portraits, and abstract silicone art, all of which you can view on his site and IG.

In the 1930s, Universal's hits like Dracula and Frankenstein had everyone buzzing, and Walt Disney wanted a piece of that spooky action for his biggest star. The result was The Mad Doctor —a frantic, gothic horror show where Mickey Mouse has to brave a booby-trapped castle full of dancing, self-assembling skeletons to rescue his snatched dog, Pluto. It was the first time audiences saw a truly terrified Mickey. Not only did some theaters refuse to screen the short film, but the British Board of Film Censors (BBFC) outright banned it, deeming it "too gruesome" for kids.
