You Didn't Think It Would Be That Easy, Did You, Hello Kitty?

In a showdown between Gogo Yubari and Hello Kitty, my money's on the Japanese toy. You just can't fight that kind of oppressive cuteness. (Kitty Fight! by Dave MacDowell, for the Small Gift Sanrio show showing at Art Basel Miami December 2-5)

Gotham Starry Night And Other Van Gogh Parodies

The Starry Night, Vincent van Gogh's most recognizable work, has been replicated and interpreted countless. These are a few of the parodies. (Gotham Starry Night by ~1funnyguy)



A terrifying vision of Hello Kitty bestride the world like a colossus. Could this be the vision that sent Van Gogh to the asylum in the first place? (Hello Starry Night by Leslie Holt)



The Battle of Endor as interpreted by a famous Ewok artist. (Starry Night Star Wars by newbpainter)



Don't know the artist behind Barth Van Gogh, but it seems to have spread from the tumblr Return of the Vader.



The Fleet by CraigMc. From the Worth1000 contest Star Wars Ren 3.



Again, is it any wonder that Van Gogh was in an asylum? Just look at what he saw in the night sky. (Starry Night with TARDIS by TerryLightfoot)

A McDonalds and a mosque? Billions served indeed. (Muslim Starry Night by Ron English)

Is that what Snoopy sees in the night sky? No wonder he sleeps on his doghouse every night. (Link via La Heidi)

Oh, I see what they did there. (From The Gremlin)

Somebody always has to be a critic. (Savage Chickens)

Hello Anatomy Kitty

Huh. I would have expected it to be a lot cuter inside, or contain the embodiment of all evil. Show what I know — I stopped taking biology in Grade 11. (Kitty Half from Jason Freeny at Moist Production)

If you've got to shoot things, it might as well be Hello Kitty. Hey, why not throw in a unicorn, Bugs Bunny, Snoopy, Mickey Mouse, Minnie, Pinocchio, a witch and a couple of aliens. Strange bone structure in the ears though, I always thought they would have been cartilage. Or maybe these were mascots. In that case, shoot them twice.  (Photos by Riccardo Bagnoli for a teen clothes ad campaign; link via Nerdcore by way of The Zeary Gazette)

A-Z of Awesomeness

Comic artist Neill Cameron is on a drawing quest, spending a month "drawing STUFF that is AWESOME." With H is for... Hagar the Horrible Hacking Hello Kitty in Half and K is for... KISS King Kong, clearly awesome is most apt description ever.

Even better, he want your suggestions for his A-Z of Awesomeness: "So for each letter of the alphabet I am going to let people suggest a character, and I will then draw that character, on a daily basis. Got it? You are also allowed to suggest what that character should be doing, with bonus points awarded for imaginative alliteration."
