Mickey’s Dreamy Spuds

fluckyducky – 23 August 2018
“This isn’t from 1960, I made it this morning while I drank my coffee. I posted it on my facebook page at about 10:45am, which was a couple of minutes after I finished making it. That’s my watermark, ‘Clarington Shpoo Imagification’, next to the french fries. It’s a joke, a parody.”

Art du Shart

“The LAM museum in the Netherlands had artist Alexandre Lavet’s beer can sculptures on display on the floor, when it was accidentally thrown in the trash by a staff member.

The work, titled All The Good Times We Spent Together, was being exhibited at the LAM museum in the Netherlands. The piece looks like two empty and crushed beer cans that carelessly been left behind. However, upon closer inspection, they are actually tiny sculptures that have been meticulously hand-painted with acrylics.”
