Ocasiocasa

Saw there stuff at an art show and I love all of it. I felt part of a fantasy book, Alice in Wonderland meets Where the Wild Things Are. Awesome.

Wonderful Article from our Friends at The Florida Weekly.
Part 1 Dolls
What Fort Myers artists Jeff and Dale Ocasio do to them isn’t as much plastic surgery as it is reincarnation.
The dolls — neglected, abandoned, thrown away — come to the Ocasios as one thing and are transformed into something totally different.
Maybe they get crazy, spikey hair or pointy ears. Maybe their skin takes on a pale mint hue.
Maybe they sprout antlers. Some end up with a whimsical appearance, such as the lady with big, daisy-​like petals sprouting from her head.
Then there’s the green Sí Monster that looks as if it just slid out of the swamp. And Spencer, a robot with oversized hands and one giant eye
in the middle of his face.
If aliens on other planets have children, it’s a good bet they carry around dolls like the ones born from the Ocasios’ somewhat warped and untamed imagination.
Together for 30 years, they opened Ocasiocasa, their art gallery/​studio, in downtown Fort Myers last summer.
«We just wanted to share (our art),» says Dale. «We’re trying to build a fan base.»
Reactions to their work vary.
