Ghost Horse vs Jesus

Today we bring you a piece in which the "artist" joins their love of God with their love of horses in a photoshop nightmare they call "When you can't stand anymore".

The "artist" is one Horseloveringod over at Deviant Art. They thought to share personal tragedy with us by creating an art tragedy. In this they have taken perspective, shadowing,  depth of field, and taste out of the picture and replaced it with clipped images of a horse and cross that appear to be floating in a field. I would re-title this one "Ghost Horse vs Jesus". Click here to see the original with "artist" information on DA.

REM RIP

So REM is calling in quits. Great run and I am sure their label is just counting the days until the Reunion Tour starts. So what better way to say farewell to a music and cultural icon than to see the artistic tributes people have made to it over the years.

First up is "Shiny Happy Michael Stipe" by AsStipetakeswing.

Done with colored pencils on notebook paper, this is surely going to be hanging on their Mom's fridge for a long time. I am just surprised that they didn't use a dose of glitter to reinforce the Shiny part. View the original and the "artist" info here.

Next is "Michael Stipe" by canneee572.

Now I will freely admit that Michael Stipe has a (to put it politely) an oddly proportioned face. However, he does not look like a frog as this "artist" imagines him. Maybe it is his fursona? Is it still a furry if it is not a mammal? View the original and the "artist" info here.

Next is another one named  "Michael Stipe", this time by Jeffica-Alice.

Did he have chinectomy? Is that poor shading or patchy shaving? And again with the red backgrounds. Do people understand how bad that looks? It's like drawing someone lying in a pool of their own blood. You get the FBI checking you out for that shit. View the original and the "artist" info here.

And now, Dear Readers, is the final and possibly the best one. Imagine Michael Stipe shirtless in outspace. Got it? Good.

This is "Michael Stipe" (again) by JesusOnTheRocks. Apparently Mr OnTheRocks things about Michael Stipes crotch, a lot. I was so taken aback by the size of the codpiece that I almost didn't notice the awkward shoulders. I know this is supposed to be done in a cartoon styling so the bizarre musculature is something I will overlook. But goddamn, look at the size of the crotch. Someone has a fixation. View the original and the "artist" info here.

We Remember... until the next time you toss a ball

There is no doubt that one of the most disturbing sections on Deviant Art is the Anthro section. It is littered with furry art of every medium. Today's selection uses some photo manipulation to add sketchy cartoon puppy-people to a picture of the WTC memorial. They may not forget, but let us hope we do. I don't want this turning up in an Art History book any time in the future.

We Remember by Mottenfest

I want to know why the piece has one title on it's DA page yet another title embedded in it. It's as if the artist is as ADD as the puppy he chose for an avatar. If he truly wanted to combine furry art with memorial maybe he should have chosen an elephant. You do not see enough elephants in furry part for my money. I have decided to re-title this one "We Remember... until the next time you toss a ball".
