A few random things I’d never be able to build a post around… Take, for instance, this picture. Imagine if you were an infant, and someone–I’m not saying who–your father? Maybe it doesn’t matter, your experience of reality is quite finite–anyway, this person wants to play “peek-a-boo” with you. And they’re looming after you, enormous, […]
Somewhere in this world, there is clever commentary on art, and playful irony, and layered meaning. Not here, though. At least I think not. There may be a 10-page thesis for E309 (Rhetoric of Art) here. I’m guessing…a band? A really dated protest? I mean, Dada kind of died out in 1927. The Dadaists had a party […]
The 60s did something to people. If you survived them, apparently you started thinking big-eyed creatures–children, mostly, but dogs, some politicians, they even glued eyes to rocks because they weren’t big-eyed enough (or was that the 70’s? My bad.) Every time I think something is so absurd that is utterly doomed to die an unloved spinster, […]
(I’m so sorry for my frequent absences lately, I was working on a Kickstarter project which ate my entire life for about three months. That project is wrapping up now, thank goodness! Back to your regularly scheduled ceramic clowns.) We secretly replaced this high school geography class’s map of the world with this picture of feet. Let’s […]
This picture is so amazing that I’m going to spend the rest of the week on it. I could probably spend an ENTIRE week on it, but really that’s too much madness for one week.You could get lost in it. Take crazy-eyes here. Crazy-eyes, like so many of her friends, lives in a foot. It’s […]
Everybody got together to celebrate Rosemary’s Baby’s tenth birthday today. Highlights include the candles on the cake flaring up like unholy torches, and the immurement of the cat. The children’s entertainer hired for the event never returned, but we found him on Craig’s List so there wasn’t a paper trail. No harm, no foul. Okay, really […]
I found these two…years apart. The craggy old woman, back in May of 2012. I knew she was special. Sure, she was special in a “why do they call it a ‘crisper’ anyway?” sense of the word, but still, any specialness is special, especially special specialness. Her grandson turned up a few days after New […]
I have never seen anything so happy as this…whatever. So I want to share him with you, since it’s Monday and all, and you’re a good person and deserve good things. This may not be a good thing. It may be an excessively cheerful blue poop, but let’s be optimistic. This looks like it’s sort […]
Not New York City, no, other people love NY in that way, I love NY on a conceptual level. The graceful curve of the “Y”, the strong, forthright lines of the “N.” I love them like I love tortilla chips. A huge bowl of them. Dozens. Let them swarm. By repetition, they become wild. So…this […]
It is a truth universally acknowledged that clowns really aren’t funny. However, some of them just gave up on the idea of “funny.” They saw humor, dodged around it, went straight to a 50% blend of apathy and disgust. “You want funny? I’ll tell you funny. Funny is when you spend a year saving up […]
