Adolf Hitler vs Chilly Willy

Tex Avery once said: “In a cartoon, you can do anything.” That overlying idea has thankfully permeated creators and artists in multiple mediums, and allowed surrealism, Dadaism, conceptualism, and the WWE to flourish and bloom.

Let’s just ZOOM IN and ENHANCE… *SPOILER ALERT: Due to atmospheric moisture, contents should be eaten within 7-10 days of opening. Phind more Phirm [...]

Once again back is the incredible art animal.

I am an unabashed art nerd, art geek, or whatever you choose to call me, it’s true whichever way you look at it. Art is the one all consuming passion I’ve managed to sustain and feed my entire life without waver. I’ve had a fiery relationship with it as long as I can remember, both [...]
