The Creepiest Ultrasound Image Ever

ultrasound painting sm250 The Creepiest Ultrasound Image EverWhat would you call a handmade item that leans more toward scary and horrific than pretty and pleasing?  The folks at the aptly-named Craftastrophe have a knack for finding such items and they’ve located one that might interest you expectant parents out there.

It’s a custom baby ultrasound painting rendered by an artist who goes by the name of WyldAngelz and sells her wares on Etsy.

She’s not a bad artist.  Her paintings of infants are sweet and her pet portraits are kind of cute.  But her ultrasound paintings?  Creepy with a capital C.

Art is always open to interpretation, but the artist herself acknowledges that these paintings are “somewhat abstract and surreal in appearance.”

I think that’s a bit of an understatement.  They look like terrifying goblin babies and not something I would want hanging on the wall in my house.

But that’s just me.  Surely somebody, somewhere would appreciate such a unique objet d’art. What about you?  Would you pay $85 for such a portrait?

For the love of GOD why didn’t you save the picture until after the jump? This is going to haunt my dreams tonight.

No, why would I need a painting of an ultrasound? Weird.

I’m pretty sure my 3D ultrasound looked creepy as hell all by itself.

Art is open to the interpretation of others. I have seen many works of art from this person and she is a great artist and deserving of the credit for the work that she does. I know for a fact that we have seen worse works of art from very well known artists.
