From the new hit film, “Fifty Shades of Flipper.” See it in your local theater. They call him Flipper. Flipper–flipcuffs restraining, No one you see, ties knots tight as he… Although I’d be happier if there were knots in this intimate little tableaux, as opposed to just a gold chain and two mid-sternum attachment points. I didn’t […]
Tremble, ye mortals, with fear and dander, for Great Cathulhu has come among us! I’m pretty sure this has some sort of function, I’ll be damned if I know what it is though. Maybe a broom cover that does not detract from the functionality of the broom (plus has the added feature of the pleasure […]
Actually, I’m not sure if this is a Santa with a garrote or a sort of cheerful anthropomorphic personification of spring. Either way, not a bad way to end the 12 days of Christmas. Meet the last Santa you’ll ever see. I suppose the flowers should make me feel at ease–maybe that’s what he wants–but it […]
So there’s some elements of this that make no damned sense to me. The title of the original masterwork is “A Perfect Fit,” as you can plainly see here: This will be the last thing that makes sense for a little while yet. I’m just glad that one of the shepherds there can do my […]
Apparently, too much spinach-artichoke dip does something to your head, because these appetizer dish sets just get weird. Take this guy, a sort of weird fractal snow-bot. Seems kind of complicated, just to hold guacamole. Ew. A guacamole-filled snowman? The world isn’t ready for that. Anyway. Having recently seen Gamara, I imagine this fellow spinning through space on […]
I understand the dish ran away with the spoon, but after that it was endless hours of passive-aggressive arguing, veiled accusations about the time so-and-so spent with the knife, and sullen silences under dinner. There is no sadness like the sadness of a plate-faced man. He has seen so many things. The crumbs of a […]
Over the years, I have seen some very bad things in frames. Some of them I bought. I thought for a while the worst was the framed empty bags of sugar, but this just might be worse than. Nope, not seeing it. Even if I was the artist (is that the word?) I think I’d […]
It’s friday, and I’m not actually awake right now, so another house-cleaning episode of filler this week wit ha few items that…just really don’t make a lot of sense to me. Take this: it’s a yarn vase. You can take it, but I’ll be damned if you can do anything with it. This is not […]
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 […]
(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 […]
