lauren will you tell us a story
ok heres something
around a year ago someone asked me to draw danny devito as a kitty, spawning this terrible terrible image
time passes. a lot of time passes. then two months ago i get an email from a group of people called FPOAFM doing a pottery installation event, and theyre going around gathering artwork from artists to put onto cups and dishes to sell,, in exchange for a few pieces with the artists work on them
and i said SURE you can use some of my stuff … . but in exchange.… i want something with kitty devito on it. i dont care if you put it on anything else, but one item that i get in return has to have this cat man abomination
i give them my address and a few images and months pass. i forget about it. THEN literally two days ago i get this big package on my doorstep, and INSIDE OF IT…. is the holy grail
in addition to two plates is this incredible porcelain cup with the fabled kitty devito on it, proudly grinning his terrible cat grin
the thing that pushes this cup into the Far Reaches of Awful isnt just the image stamped on it. its that it is one hundred percent made from a mold of a styrofoam cup
its finger presses on the rim, those little lines going around
and all this jargon on the bottom, right under the glaze. the amount of effort that went into reproducing this styrofoam cup is incredible and i can stick it in my shelf and drink soup from it at four in the morning with danny devitos smug cat face looking out over everything i do, forever. follow your dreams
Have a follow-your-dreams weekend, Tumblr.
