Basically, I only like artists whose work builds an alternate universe that I want to crawl inside of and hide in for as long as possible — a world where human beings and their animal friends live together in peaceful harmony. That’s the kind of world I want to live in.

Adventures in Intertextuality 1: Give a Hoot
December 1, 2007 at 12:16pm | In art, design, illustration, internet | Leave a CommentTags: intertextuality, things that are cute
This blog generally doesn’t feature enough “things that are cute.”
1. Via Boing Boing: OVVLvverk: a “gallery of owls and owl-related human cultural representations,” designed as a parody of the contemporary art and culture blog, VVORK. You really have to give the internet some, umm, kudos (get it?) for opening up new avenues for the exploration of intensely epic intertextualities. The world is weird, y’all.
2. Drawn posted Meomi Design’s fanciful illustrations of the mascots for the 2010 Olympics and Paralympics in Vancouver: Quatchi the Sasquatch, Miga the Sea Bear, and Sumi the Thunderbird. I don’t give a shit about the Olympics at all but whatever, these guys are cute.
3. Squirrel’s epic swim across lake: It’s old news now, but I really relate to his struggle.
