Art on a Monday: Zebracorns, Tigercorns, Chipmunkcorns, & more!

What if your sparkling Twinkletoes unicorn decided on a more natural summer look? Artist Reptanglian (AKA, M. Peña) has provided an answer with her work "Super Natural Unicorns". Each unicorn is airbrushed and hand-painted to look a bit more like the animal kingdom, and you can even purchase one. (Which one arrives to you is a surprise!)
Hmmm... A magical creature that wishes it was a bit more normal? Dr. Bruce Banner should tell these unicorns how successful that strategy is.

The rift between unicorns and zombies widens
.
Last Friday, we introduced you to the unicorn-monikered zombie-slaying gun. Today, we've discovered new evidence of why unicorns and zombies may not be wearing each others' best-friend necklaces.
In his new book Zombies Hate Stuff, Greg Stones provides visual depictions of why zombies are not too keen on a variety of things, including dodgeball and technology. It's not often that unicorns are included on a list of hated things, but as you can see from the illustration above they definitely made this one.
In defense of the unicorn, this situation isn't a walk in the meadow: Getting something stuck on one's horn certainly makes for a rotten day of compromised aerodynamics.

Adam Connor's 'Family Portrait' shows how narwhals + horses create Olan-Mills-quality beauty
.
Last year, artist Adam Connor created the piece above for our Unicorn-Art-Mix charity art show to benefit filmmaking-and-youth nonprofit Sailbear Labs and celebrate the release of the humorous how-to guide Raising Unicorns.
Today, Adam Connor's piece is featured on both Archie McPhee's Geyser of Awesome and Wired's Tumblr.
Yay Adam!
And yay interspecial love!

Bet your My Little Pony never looked like this! (Bronies beware: Content may be shocking!)
.
If you thought the "cutie marks" on the tushes of My Little Pony were creative, prepare to have the barn doors of your horizons blown to smithereens! Jodi Moisan and Mari Kasurinen have taken MLP art to a whole new level, as you can see in the photos above.
Warning: Do not skip immediately from #1 to #5. You'll thank us later.

An essay on unicorns in history - juxtaposed with rockin' unicorn and narwhal Etsy swag!
.
We confess: We skipped over Cate Fitt's thought-provoking essay on unicorns and rainbows to check out the pics of what to add to our Etsy wish list. The items above are some of our favorites, but there are plenty more to be found at the link above!
As for Cate's essay, we beg to differ with both her professor and the conclusion. Here is our rebuttal:
Unicorns, by their nature, defy cliche. Those who do not should resign their role as these majestic creatures and step into the unemployment line reserved for tired jokes and caricatures: Ally McBeal's dancing baby, the pseudo-phrase "Wazzzzzuuuupppp?", Michael Jackson circa 1994. Unicorns will remain as real as their work, creating wonderment and whimsy throughout the galaxy. As long as imagination and possibility are alive, so will be the unicorn.

How do you make a unicorn parade? Here's the formula.
.
This fantastic print is available through the VIVASWEETLOVE Etsy shop. (Click the photo above for more details!)
The unicorn parade itself is available wherever the laughter of children meets the dreams of the young-at-heart and a public-event permit.

We couldn't think of a better name for this than its own title: John F. Kennedy Alien Hunter
.
Yes, you do need this on your wall. End of discussion.
Thanks for the awesomeness, Etsy artist sharpwriter.

The happiest unicorn to ever be imprisoned

This adorable print from the LonelyPeopleArt shop on Etsy would look great in nursery or jail cell alike!

Ida Ekblad and the garbage-born unicorn
.
The sculpture above, Organ Invention, is the product of steel girders and a little bit of magic - the kind that up-cycles building materials into art. And through this, Ida Ekblad, Norwegian artist and poet, has demonstrated that she is someone who understands a unicorn may not come from glamorous origins, but that won't stop it from achieving fabulous ends!
