Here you find images of the urban paranoia ...aka the metropolis of Sheffield, that are of nature based in inner-city landscapes with the out of the place bucolic landscapes along with empty abandoned buildings. most people ignore them as they are not something that bothers them. however some people don't ignore them and they are called urban explorers. i have been exploring the urban metropolis of Sheffield most of my life but have only recently (from 2000) started to take a camera with me, also sometimes you will find images of people and gigs www.pretentiousartist.com/

Holvaaja - OOAK Inamorata art doll by em`lia

*Inamorata doll preorder is open 2.-16.2.

www.inamoratadoll.com/post/preorder-2026

Holvaaja features an Aketch sculpt in Coffee resin. This unique made-to-order full set fantasy doll has been growing throughout this year, with elements added as inspiration strikes. The concept for the character is a dark elf that travels through portals to different worlds, picking elements from various time periods and civilizations. I'm so happy to be able to work on such a fun commission project!

Holvaaja wears garments made of African Ankara fabric and their (the character is intersex) belt and sandals are decorated with African inspired beadwork and feathers. The wild white hair made of mulberry silk roving is adorned with a antlers evoking the Celtic horned God mythology. Bird skulls and little bones are suspended in the prongs like a gruesome dreamcatcher. They carry a shaman's staff with various animal skulls, 3 Viking axes, 3 leather masks, and a shamanic drum with Sámi (Lapland minority people) pictographs. It was nice to add a bit of my own Finnish culture into this collector of talismans. Their body is adorned with fantasy war paint.

The name Holvaaja is Finnish and means "Maker of Portals". It is a nod to one of my favourite childhood books, Lavondyss by Robert Holdstock where a young girl Tallis makes masks to create 'Hollowings' — pathways in space and time which allow her to step through time and mythology.

Everything is handmade by me, except for the 3D printed skulls ( ordered from ETSY artisan Scale Grail) and metal axes (jewellery parts I got somewhere years ago) I only painted.
