So this week I wanted to dig a little deeper into fandom and see what oddities I could find floating around in cyberspace. Well let me tell you, I hit the jack-pot.
With one quick link I discovered a Huffington Post article simply labeled, "20 Pieces of the Weirdest Celebrity Fan Art". Mother load.
This shit was so obscure and bizarre that I had to write an entire blog post about it. Don't believe me? Check out number #6
Hand. Painted. Levine. GLASSES.
You're welcome.
This kind of fan art just shows me the kind of crazy weird fans that are out there in the world, and it's hilarious! What drives people to love a celebrity so much that they would mold miniature clay earrings of them?

or put Clint Eastwood's face on their baby?

ok you have to admit. . . this is actually pretty badass.
But the reason I think this post is so funny and probably why all of you do too is that we see the sweeping obsurdity behind making everyday household objects into something which proclaims your love for someone who doesn't even know you exist. It's freaking ridiculous and therefore it's freaking hilarious. Another interesting thing to note is that hipster-kids are probably all OVER this kind of stuff because it is obscure and bizarre and "different". So at this point I don't even know if this stuff is pathetic or if it's genius and these craftsman are swimming in dough.
You decide.
Here's the link to the article: 20 Pieces Of The Weirdest Celebrity Fan Art
I feel like it is not weird to have Clint Eastwood's face on your baby since he is an awesome actor. Your baby would become an instead bad ass while wearing that shirt. I'm not sure how i feel about painting faces on your glasses that you drink from but the other pieces of fan art are weird.
ReplyDeleteIts pretty crazy to see how far some of these people go in order to show their love for a celebrity. I like the post though it showed some pretty crazy stuff that I would have never seen unless i looked at your blog. So thanks for the laughs.
ReplyDeletenone of this surprises me, it should, yet sadly it doesn't.
ReplyDeleteIt never ceases to amaze me what new way people are coming up with to show their support for actors, some have become more acceptable then others simply because of the personas they portray and how they are shown. if you think about it how different is putting Clint Eastwood on your baby from a middle schooler wearing a pink floyd shirt whom they have never heard.
