“Noun is a playful artist’s book about words and their definitions. It is like an exquisite corpse with words.

Starting with 27 real English words, each word and its definition has been divided into two parts. By turning the pages, you get to mix and match the word halves to create humorous and nonsensical new words and meanings.

With over 700 different combinations, this book is the perfect item for bibiophiles, lexicographers, writers, and any lover of words.

Here are a few examples of words and definitions you can put together:

whisper + umbrella = whisbrella: A low sibilan utterance for sheltering one from rain and sun.
banana + onomatopoeia = bananpoeia: A large herbaceous perennial tropical plant that bears fruit imitating the sound of the thing or action signified.
muffin + tyrant = muffrant: A quick bread made of batter unrestrained by law or constitution.
nomenclature + ancestry = nomencestry: A system or set of names for things derived from, or possessed by, an ancestor or ancestors.”

I’M SORRY BUT 

muffin + tyrant = muffrant: A quick bread made of batter unrestrained by law or constitution.

THIS IS THE PINNACLE OF HUMAN INNOVATION ALL OTHER PLAYERS GO HOME.

TRUE NATURE FACT: Wild lemurs have been observed using giant millipedes in a rather interesting fashion. They grab the millipede and nip it, which freaks the millipede out (understandably) so that it goes into its defensive mode and secretes this nasty toxic gunk that tastes foul and contains cyanide. The lemur proceeds to “milk” the gunk from the millipede, nipping it occasionally to keep it defensive, and rubs the gunk into its fur, where it acts as a natural pesticide, killing fleas and other parasites that make the lemur itchy.

This’d be cool in and of itself, but there’s another side effect. Apparently if you rub millipede goo on your fur, you get high. The lemurs—this has been observed in brown lemurs and in ringtails—display every sign of being high as little fuzzy kites. Their eyes get glazed and buggy, they stagger around in the branches, their tongues stick out, and I assume once the naturalists stop looking, they go pig out on Doritos and giggle a lot.

This is all really, honestly true (except for the Doritos.) So that got me thinking about brave lemur warriors, gallivanting around the canopy, who instead of flasks of brandy, keep their pet millipede around for those times when warrioring just gets too darn stressful. And hey, nobody likes fleas in their armor, so it’s probably good for that, too.

(Obviously millipede should only be used responsibly and in moderation. Do not millipede and drive. Just say no to millipede, kids! Etc.) – Ursula Vernon

Fictional, but pretty.

Numen/ For Use – For Use used thick transparent sticky tape to create an interactive installation. By stretching, sticking and wrapping thick layers of tape around grounded pillars, beams, trees or whatever standing objects exist in the chosen space Numen/ For Use create a web of tendon tunnels and spaces that can be accessed and crawled through, strong enough to carry human weight. From afar the installation appears like an interwoven structure of bending elastic pipes.

 Chromatic Typewriter Prints

Tyree Callahan has recycled (or upcycled, perhaps) a classic 1937 Underwood typewriter by replacing letters with sponges soaked across the spectrum with bright yellows, reds, blues and combinations thereof.

A while ago I got a request to draw Odo singing “Let it go” while doing some shapeshiftery things. At first I thought this was a crack request, and then I had that song on repeat a few times and I realized how much it just fit him. It’s pretty perfect actually.

In any case- this is a good example of me getting completely carried away with a doodle suggestion. 

without breaks [x]

This is wonderful!
