Theo Thriller

Theo Thriller

Sob... Michael Jackson was still alive when I made this one. How sad. How prophetic. How lovely Theo looks wearing Michael Jackson's hair. Note the crass MS Paint alteration of the album title.

Theo Hope

Theo Hope

And just to be bipartisan... the other side of the 2008 American Election was the winning candidate, the one who understood the power of a good memetic image.

In years to come, people might actually forget the "Obama Hope" posters... at the moment though, even a year later, they're still fresh in everyone's memories - though the url I did this on is no longer fresh in my memory. It really wasn't my work at all. It was an online thing that did it for you. Still, I like to take credit where it's not due.

McCain / Palin / Huxtable

McCain / Palin / Huxtable

Hopelessly out of date, even while situated less than a year ago. My, how quickly the times change. I really like this particular juxtaposition: Theo seems the least plastic, synthetic, creepy person here. Those are two highly creepy people in front of our Theo, and Cliff would be angry as hell to see the company he was keeping.

Side note: do you think Cliff Huxtable was a Republican? It's a pretty tough question, one I never asked in the 1980s... but I do wonder.

Theo Buddy Christ

Theo Buddy Christ

Theo combined, mad-scientist-style with the Buddy Christ statue from "Dogma" - a movie I have, admittedly, not seen. But this Jesus' smiling, winking awesomeness fits in well with Theo's teenage brooding. Jesus was once a teenager too, you know. And perhaps wore flannel.

Theo 2009

Theo 2009

A simple little one made to commemorate the year 2009 - so, thus, made a good many months ago. A Theo 2010 would, of course, be equally possible, but who cares? Note that the Theo-head can get pretty darn tiny at 120 x 120: I have a lot of these pictures at higher resolutions, and in 75% of the cases they don't suffer for quality at the higher size. But for the sake of the other 25% that look like crap and only avoid being horribly amateurish when they're shrunk down postage-stamp size... I present them all tiny.

Okay, so I changed my mind. But here's the postage stamp.
