Minus

August 14, 2010 by Fosco Lucarelli 1 Comment

Fata Morgana, by Damon Zucconi 2010
(Google Maps minus Maps)

“Seasoned explorers, vehemently insisting on what they had seen, set down mountains and islands on their charts where there was nothing but empty sky … Expeditions sent out later to verify these new lands sometimes saw the same fata morgana, further confusing the issue. Only by prolonging their arduous journeys, thereby observing a constant recreding of the image, did they prove that the land was not there at all.”

Garfield minus Garfield. garfieldminusgarfield.net

“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.”


(update):
The Simpsons minus the Simpsons, by Roman Cortés

“Inspired by Garfield Minus Garfield I’ve edited every frame of the intro of The Simpsons, deleting every character of the family. It has been been done in Photoshop for about 1337 frames.”
