The Snowden Principle

    Has Reccardi worked on the Erin Esurance campaign? Does his specific visual idiom precede that of Shag?

  • Brian Damage

    If this art style appeals to you and you’d like to immerse yourself in such a universe I highly recommend checking out the video game Psychonauts by Double Fine (Tim Schafer). The dialogue is as meticulously crafted and head-swimmingly surreal as the visual presentation; truly a game for English and art majors alike.

    Boy, art is getting so weird these days, and I love it. So much of the art Boing Boing seems to like is… well, what would you call it? Pop art?

    I have some close friends that are artists and they probably hate this stuff for not being highbrow enough, but I love it.

    Oh man, I like that stuff. It’s the way the future used to be, only cuter.

  • JohnnyWeird

    A definition, please: what is ‘psi-fi’?

  • jimtealiii

    Would “psy-fi” make more sense?

    In the small village from which I come, we say “skiffy.”

    Andrew Brandou, that is one of the best compliments/metaphors/descriptions I have read in a long time.
