Appliances with faces

I wanted to make a blog where I wouldn't have to hold myself to any individual theme throughout. I just don't have the long-term attention span to focus on one thing for an extended period of time. That said, this blog will contain whatever I see fit to create.

Today, I decided to draw faces onto pictures of kitchen appliances. Here is old man oven, above. Make of it what you will. I was reminded afterward of this guy from The Brave Little Toaster.


But that wasn't the sort of image I was going for. The Brave Little Toaster presented appliances as characters who had every-day lives. Appliances in real life, however, lead very extraordinary lives. They're anti-stars. Instead of getting paid to talk about themselves, other people get pain to talk about them. They've got their own sort of glamor.
When stars hit the big time, get signed to a major label and all that, sometimes they start living like animals. When big-time appliances get sold, sometimes the same thing happens. This next picture contains graphic content.

Ewwwwwwwww!

What have I done?


As long as I'm on the topic of drawing human(?) faces onto appliances, how about we look at this here appliance's face that's been drawn onto this human. I wanted to say, "Why would anybody ever do this?" But I remember how many times I watched The Brave Little Toaster as a kid. This tattoo is so sick, I think I actually might not mind it if I woke up one morning in someplace unfamiliar with a hangover and this tattoo on my calf. Look at those colors, too!

Here's an appliance that's got a face on it already. I sort of want one once I have my own apartment. Or maybe instead I'll just get regular appliances and find my own ways of making them interesting. Shit, I don't know.
