Super Avoidance

August 2, 2009

It’s been six months, and I’m finally ready to start talking about Arizona Cardinals football again. I don’t feel entirely bad about stepping away; even this painter doesn’t want to approach the topic of whether Santonio Holmes actually had both feet on the ground when he caught the go-ahead touchdown pass in the Super Bowl.

I’m a real boyyyyyyyyyyy One of my favorite memories from our recent trip to St. Louis was visiting Citygarden, a downtown oasis full of lush plantings and impressive sculptures, which, in addition to a system of 102 water fountains known as “Splash Plaza” (aka “hookworm central”, in the background), features a 14′ 7-1/2″ painted bronze [...]

Michael Dunfest 2009: Cat, I’m a kitty kat (ding!)

February 11, 2009

6 Comments

This card capitalizes on the obvious association between the words “kitty kat” and the cat-like organism below them. It also reminds me of that strangely popular Kitty Kat video from yesteryear, which featured a morbidly obese cat performing a robot dance in unison with an incoherent, almost-song of sorts.
