Finding a great new blog is fun. Finding a great new blog at its inception it awesome! In the blogosphere, I always prefer to be early to the party. So, I’m please to introduce my latest favorite blog: 1000 Demons. Katsoulis, the artist/author, describes it as…
"[A] project is based on an ancient drawing exercise in which an artist attempts to illustrate 100 demons. Here, the idea has been merged into a blog and expanded to create a bestiary blog of 1000 things I find irksome, vexing, infuriating and wrong. It is more than just an exercise in drawing 1000 demons; it is a beautiful excuse to rant."
Demon no. 7, The Beagle, sparked quite a bit of controversy on his blog. With apologies to all the Beagle lovers out there (and Uno), I’m including it here, since it’s the only dog featured so far. But in the artist’s defense, if a ferocious dog attacked you as a child, you wouldn’t be keen on the breed either.
P.S. Katsoulis is also taking suggestions. Here are some of my own demons:
– people who used the word nonplussed to mean the exact opposite of what it means.
– 3 pronged forks
– dudes who don’t neuter their dogs, because they somehow take the procedure personally
– the R in the Radio Shack logo that touches the edge of the circle that surrounds it. (poor kerning in general)
– cell phone-holding, Hummer-driving, left-turn-makers who don’t use their turn signal
– being served steak without a steak knife. Really? You’re making me ask? (do I have cutlery issues, or what?)
– Hillary Clinton saying "ready and tested" like she’s just had all her shots.
Add your pet peeves here or on the 1000 Demons. Let me know if he uses yours. This one will be fun to watch.
