Yahoo! Picks - bringing you the best of the Web since 1995

It's a beautiful world for you and for Mark "We Are Not Men, We Are Devo" Mothersbaugh. While children of the '80s may know him for his flowerpot-headed punk band, Mothersbaugh has been creating rubber stamp designs, ink illustrations, screen printing, decals, and mail art since he was a kid. His current illustrations are organized into two galleries on this site. The Postcard Diaries represent an "obsessive habit/hobby" where he's been drawing about one a day for 30 some odd years. Whether mixing Mexican wrestling with medical diagrams, making subtle political statements, or creating wacky characters, each postcard is colorful and tinged with a vintage advertising feel. The Beautiful Mutants gallery takes old photographs and turns them into weird Rorschach test-style distortions "using a combination of both antiquarian hand-crafting and modern computer technology." Pug #1 barely looks like a dog, and Pirate Jack has become one psychedelic Chihuahua. The Rotten Lads appear disturbingly undisturbed, as does the Bride With Calla Lilies. If you're through being cool, you can buy one of these hot potatoes for yourself. Whip it good, indeed.
