garfield minus garfield
The most creative ideas, to me, are often also the most ridiculously simple. If you find yourself saying, “hey, I could have done that!”, then you have found something truly, purely creative, because all the strength lies in the idea itself - not in the difficulty of it’s execution. Perhaps the more you really could have done that yourself, the mure “pure” it’s creative genius?
Take the Pet Rock as a classic example. Of course any of us could of done that. Truth is though, we did not.
Add to this category Garfield Minus Garfield. Photographer TJ McLachlan sent me this link (thanks TJ), and I’m happy.
In its’ own words,
“Garfield Minus Garfield is a site dedicated to removing Garfield from the Garfield comic strips in order to reveal the existential angst of a certain young Mr. Jon Arbuckle. It is a journey deep into the mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness and depression in a quiet American suburb.”
Enjoy.
