Erin Kirkpatrick — May 29, 2012 — Unique
'My Wife Makes Die-o-ramas,' started by Reddit user CaptJax’s wife, shows various gruesome scenes of violence and murder. The actual name of the artist of these graphic representations isn’t known, she is simply known as CaptJax’s wife.
These miniature models CaptJax’s wife creates visually represent gory, bloody and disturbingly violent scenes in progress or in their aftermath. A webpage on Imgur was recently created and is devoted entirely to the artworks of ‘My Wife makes Dioramas,’ now cleverly titled ‘Die-o-ramas.’
Some of the scenes created include a clown who has just committed a double-murder, two individuals attempting to saw another person in half, an individual digging a grave and a gun-toting toddler who just committed murder. Some of the other miniatures feature nudity and have been crafted with intricate attention to detailing. These works are off-putting, but are still making waves and gaining admirers.
