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.

Brainwashed by unicorns

Look fast or you might miss it:
In this official video for their song "Let It Go", Dragonette is being happy-ized by videos of unicorns and cupcakes!
However, the videos prove only strong enough to elicit some rather chaotic dance moves. Why? Well, every unicorn advocate knows cupcakes need to be devoured to evoke a real smile!

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!

Want to be a rhino? A unicorn? A pegacorn? This t-shirt supports all your ambitions!
We would like to say proceeds go to helping this world achieve its dreams of transmogrification, but we couldn't find evidence of that on the site. Maybe it's a secret donation. After all, the shirt condition is listed as "self-actualized".

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.
