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.”
[Spotted on Xwitter, found on Reddit.]
[Update: That’s the work of artist Cris Shapan.]

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.”

Zuma, Man of Mars
“In 1950, the world of wrestling was introduced to a masked competitor that called himself ‘Zuma, Man of Mars.’ Also known as ‘The Great Zuma’, the man entered the ring wearing a long cape secured with a chest plate bearing the letter ‘Z,’ and an otherworldly headpiece with an antenna-like top that concealed his face. Zuma gained popularity on the wrestling circuit during his debut year, garnering attention for being quick on his feet and winning the majority of his matches. It was that fancy footwork—and a striking resemblance—that ultimately unveiled the true identity of the mysterious Martian to be Carl J. Engstrom, a DePaul student and former star boxer for the university.”
