    • Title: Untitled
    • Medium: Unbleached corrugated cardboard
    • Artist: Mildew

    Abstract: Brown corrugated cardboard is the symbol for consumerism as global trade ships goods to one side of the equation while shipping the externalities to the other. The artist’s view on capitalism is clearly depicted here with an example of a futile attempt at attacking consumer culture. The tooth punctures are a visceral and unbridled reaction against from one that is powerless against the powerful.

    Mildew has gotta be one of the top ten cat names over ever heard. Also, Who are the 9 monsters who downvoted this.

    Mildew is fun AF

    TIL the French word “mildiou”, that sounds to us French people exactly like an old word of the South akin to “farigoule” or “mogette”, is in fact the totally English word mildew written as pronounced in French. And now that I see it written “mill-dew” it makes much more sense.

    Dammit

    PS: “Mildiou le petit chat roux” is perfectly adorable.
