Story Of The Puppet: A Creepy Dolls Inspired Photo Story by Hana Erskine Photography
Hana Erskine makes wonderful photographs of beautiful and terrible things. You can go to or Like her Facebook page to see more, as well you should. Today however, we feature a photo series she did that was inspired by Dolls Of New Albion.
Once upon a time there was a girl. Her name was Isabelle. — with Lara Matossian.
Once upon a time there was a puppeteer. He really liked Isabelle, so he decided she must be his.
First, he made a doll.
Then he started using the Voice to call Isabelle. — with Marion Erskine.
Isabelle could hear the Voice in her head, but she tried to resist.
After a while, she couldn’t take it anymore.
She gave up and decided to come to the puppeteer.
The puppeteer captured Isabelle’s soul in the doll and Isabelle became new puppet in Circus Apocalypse.
One day she found the doll. The doll reminded her who she used to be before the puppeteer found her
She decided to free herself. Once she cut herl strings, she realised her soul is still remaining in the doll.
She cut the doll’s strings too, to free her soul.
Once all the strings were cut, she couldn’t feel any difference and she even couldn’t feel her soul anymore.
She realised her soul was gone forever.
She gave the last goodbye to the doll.
It was time to leave.

Caravan Palace:Vintage Hopping Electro Swing
First off, thank you everybody for your submissions. They’re wonderful and i will announce the folks in 2 days time. (if you haven’t sent and want to… basically please do it tomorrow). Thank you all for your interest and based on the response i will make sure to do this again to allow folks who didn’t get in this time to do so next time around.
In the meantime, i really wanted to share my new favorite thing. Psyche Corp, who plays Han-Mi sends me youtube vids occasion, whenever the mood strikes or even sometimes when she sees something that pertains to something in the cabaret (some of them are even what she imagine another character feeling based on the plot she’s aware of, which has been interesting because a couple times it’s a… shade of emotion i hadn’t thought of.)
Anyway, a few days ago she sent me this, and I FRICKIN LOVE THIS. The style is electro swing, a genre i’m about to really dive into listening wise, but off the cuff, Caravan Palace just DOES it for me and encapsulates an intro into a genre i’m really ready to hear. Obviously it’s centered on the merging between old style and new. It’s not simply a mimic of the old style (something i’m struggling with), it truly fuses a current, modern sample based, beat making approach with the soul of the old, the old soul nicely remaining and shining through. I’m really in love with this band, and they will be my gateway.
