These decorative fans are creepy, colorful and delightfully on the trashy side. They look like something you could see the craziest of celebrities rocking. You don’t have to be a proper lady to fan yourself. You can be a punk-rock babe, cooling yourself after a long day of skateboarding.

These decorative fans have illustrations from artist Sam Ailey and are made by Mother London. There are six different fans, each with a different bold design. There is one that shows an orange hand holding up a pair of blue scissors with blood dripping off of them and the words “I knitted you a jumper… it’s all my own hair” written in red. The others are just as unsettling.
