"You've got some something on your-" / I know
A Art Student Owl post.
Watching the football with your dad, you support the team with the better kit. You explain the kerning on the shirt sponsor. He switches over to the snooker. Your tutor says your piece reminds her of early Rothko. You nod thoughtfully. You go home. You google Rothko. You cry, briefly, into a pot of noodles. The café menu is in Comic Sans. You leave. You are very hungry, but you have principles. Three in the morning, the night before the deadline, you mix the perfect teal. It covers half the canvas. There's no more. There will never be that teal again. **Why it caught on:** the eagle-owl with a cigarette began on Tumblr in February 2011, on a blog run by an art school student. Art students finally had a mascot that looked exactly as tired as they did.
