I Know It When I See It

My opinion of most types of “abstract art” is extremely low…and this wonderful site that lets YOU create your very Jackson Pollock original only reinforces my opinion.

The Cow Cat could make better art.

But Is It Art?
by @ 12:16 pm.

Xerox has a nifty little page where you can send greeting & thank you cards to military members serving Over There; the cards all feature artwork that was created (or looks like it was created) by children. Well, that’s a pretty nice thing to do, and I appreciate Xerox’s support of our troops. But looking at the artwork, I couldn’t help but think of the classic “I Am Better Than Your Kids” page that totally shreds kids’ art…one of the funniest pages that I’ve ever seen, frankly.

icons.jpg For instance, check out this one that features the Statue Of Liberty, an apple pie, and a baseball. Clearly, this card is designed to appeal to true-blue Americans with the iconic imagery of “all-American” symbols. But if Maddox were to feature it on his site, I’d wager that he would say something like this:

“Holy crap, how the hell did the baseball get bigger than the head of the freaking Statue of Liberty? And since when do apple pies start flying through the air? Geez, it doesn’t ever look like a pie, you idiot…it looks more like a turd in a pan. Grade: F

Of course, I would never say anything like that…you all know that I try to be nice and funny on my site, and try never to offend.

A Rooster By Any Other Name?
by @ 8:05 pm.

Tipped off by fellow Montanan and overall nice guy Wulfgar over at A Chicken Is Not Pillage, I visited a website that celebrates the artwork of a person who seems to have some sort of…obsession? or fetish? or…disorder? Anyway, if you’ve ever wondered if there was any kind of resemblance between birds and portions of the male anatomy, well…here you go. Be warned: the images may not be suitable for viewing by young children, birds of any feather, or people who are frightened of birds made to resemble…well, you’ll see.
