of artists and snowmen

Monday, December 17, 2007

The Guardian asked some artists to redefine the traditional snowman. Goodbye three white balls with a carrot nose...

Here's a gallery of the results.

This upside-down one is by David Shrigley is one of my faves.




This fabric one by Yinka Shonibare is also pretty great.

For the Guardian's full interviews about the artistic snowmen, go here.

And here's the one I made over the weekend from mini sugar oranges! Hee!



Orange you glad it's Christmas?

    It looks like you used MS Paint.

    Sean - MS Paint hatin' is not in the holiday spirit. (But just for the record, it's not MSP.)
