Pop-T[art] by Stone Saints, mock piratey turtle

December 8th, 2006 6:18 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Purchase pop-tarts, toaster strudels, whatever you will. Also purchase some frosting.

From there, proceed to re-create a popular pop-art piece; imagine Warhol's Mao in a creamy delicious form, or one of Lichtenstein's work's as a tasty confection.

But decoration is not enough - you must feed it to a complete stranger, (if you can, a museum curator would be great!), have them critique your work, and ultimately consume it.

Armed with a ridiculous amount of Pop Tarts, I met up with Piratey and we went at it. We decided to do art specific to SF0--so we have Oliver and Avidd, Warhol-style. Since we were decorating in the Art building on the UC Berkely campus, we got critiqued by a real live art student. He said it wasn't really pop art, as we weren't using popular culture references, but we figured our images were iconic enough within the SF0 community to count. Then we took it outside and let the tasting begin. The Olivers were very popular (more icing). The tasters through they were delicious, and aesthetically pleasing as well.

A picture of this in my local paper got me into SF0. I'm glad I get to know what PopTarts were about in the first place!

Ditto to Vena Nightmare. These pictures were in my local paper too! That is how I joined. I'll never look at Pop Tarts the same.

Well, those PopTarts certainly did their job, then:)
