SPACE 1026 – WE ARE POLITICALLY INCORRECT . . and PROUD OF IT.
\nwe are – as a bio-people residing on this increasingly fragile bio-sphere, ENVIRONMENTALLY . . INCORRECT !!
\nMUCHO – !!<\/p>\n

I noticed this lead item in the SPACE 1026 Store, PHILLY<\/a>
\ngotta love it.
\nI wonder if ANDREW JEFFREY WRIGHT is behind this ? in some zany, super consciousness way, for sure. that guy as I re-call times I’ve seen him and \/or his work in NYC – has a wicked sly sense of humor, and in fact many of his art pieces – did involve animal illustrations – in ridiculous situations ?<\/p>\n

the drawing, the cuteness of the line quality defies verbalization – is just as impressive as the subversive but eloquent message – it just screams ‘dark humor’, but so low-key. so off the wall, so politically incorrect.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nJACOB MARCINER, ‘Pizza Squirrel Coasters’ – image: SPACE 1026<\/a><\/p>\n

a little more searching in the store<\/strong> <\/a> – reveals JACOB MARCINER to be the comicbook-leaning ‘smart-ass’ artist behind the ‘chic-est’ 4 pack coaster set, I’ve seen in along time.
\nit’s yours for all of $18 – set of 4.
\nthat’s a nice punch for $18. they are screen printed on reclaimed wood paneling and there are only 5 left (!!) in stock – so go for it.<\/p>\n

I say . . Politically Incorrect, because in reality – that cute & cuddly image is both friendly . . feed your local wildlife a slice of pizza (?) but, ultimately heart-breaking.<\/p>\n

esp in light of how desperate things are in the world, as a whole – where we don’t feel safe anymore. and we might just regress back to placating the (Greek) gods. I was going to say, riding the subway in NYC is such a rush. like playing Russian Roulette big-time, but I mean – that is really really POLITICALLY INCORRECT !!<\/p>\n

but also more specific to the animal world. talking about endangered PANDAS (Rob Pruitt) and sick DOLPHINS (Andrew Guenther).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

the world does so dig AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY, or what !!<\/p>\n

see: Ice Melting – forces 35,000 stranded WALRUS to gather on shore neat Point lay, ALASKA – in absence of their natural habitat at this time of year: sea ice.<\/a><\/p>\n

my . . how things have changed.
\nthis used<\/strong> to be the face of POLITICALLY INCORRECT !!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

vintage ‘MEXICAN’ souvenir – coasters.
\nbought at my local thrift shop, ($1.99 for a set of 4 in mint condition), a big ole Salvation Army a few years back, and treasured ever since. for what it says about the world we live in & how we use everyday art to express our feelings.
\nand NO, THIS WAS NOT . . IRONY.<\/p>\n

just an aside:
\nand yep, they finally<\/strong> found a way to deal with all those scrappy undocumented ‘aliens’ – thank you ISIS, for the opportunity to build up our army again.
\nand by so doing, finally solve the thorny issue of a Path to Citizenship for all the (prob millions) young, strong-bodied South American immigrants who came here as children – with no paperwork !!
\nsee, there always is a SILVER LINING in the . . cloud.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m showing you the reverse, for 3 reasons.<\/p>\n

1. no, I did not photoshop that image – truth is stranger than fiction.
\n2. it’s got a great vintage background (floral) pattern.
\n3. and, insult to injury – it’s . . MADE IN TAIWAN.<\/p>\n
