went looking for a picture (above) i saw once, thinking it was a shepard fairey drawing. now i don't think so, but i still love it. well...until i saw that the person who made it has no allegiance to maine coons. now i doubt it's philosophical authenticity. if you wish, it can be bought here, but i plan on redrawing it in Illustrator and printing it at guy's work (sorry, shepard fairey impersonator).
during my search i found this drawing (above) by harmony korine. a man i both love and loathe. i love him for his obscure, weird movie, Gummo – even parts of his weirder, more obscure movie Julien Donkey-Boy – that encapsulates unspeakable moments emotionally and visually perfectly.
and i hate him for his stringent "i worship the devil" philosophy (because worshipping the devil and worshipping christ without hesitation, are two different ends of the same blind wand).
this drawing pushes me even further towards the latter. what a bastard! and isn't that what would make him even more famous...behing such a bastard. oh wait, it hasn't been fake the whole time has it??
the answer? no. but he shouldn't push it. ET is the most recognizable empathetic character to exist since 1970. i feel religious about what he represents. can harmony not handle it? *too much* existential angst? a little *too close* to the truth?
(Oh, duh it's me who can't handle it.)
seriously. there is so much more to make fun of than ET. i suppose that makes the drawing perfect. to my non-CHAG-rilitious-RIN.
