Please Don't Suffocate

Anti-Suffocation You open the box containing your new computer to find it ensconced in the usual squeaky syrofoam and plastic anti-static bags. While removing your precious items you see that the manufacturer has included a clever symbol to protect your personal safety and/or make you laugh. It would make a great tattoo. It helpfully tells you:

  • Do not cough here.

  • Help! My head is stuck in the television.

  • Eating too many marshmallows will make you sick.

  • Don’t drink while wearing your space helmet.

Anyone know about this image? Where it's from or who created it? I've only seen it on xeroxed copies hanging in corporate cubicles. I'd like to give credit to the creator on Small and Big. Plus it's priceless. It'd be nifty to get one signed by the illustrator. It really is great.

“Anizo 100% Reality Mind.” What this means, I have no idea. A friend found it living in a vending machine on the street in China and brought it back to Boston for me. The one-inch tall yellow plastic guy (I think it’s a he) has a smile, a blue tear, a pair of hand holes, a growth atop his head pierced clean through, and, on his backside, a man getting squeezed between two lines that I hope do not represent butt cheeks. The warning printed on the paper insert commands, “Do not use as lifeguard equipment.” Anizo and I, we’re inseparable. Anizo 100% Reality Mind!

Illustration Friday: Hide

Image
Maurice’s cunning helped him evade that hungry field sparrow, and in doing so he discovered something new: his special affinity for flowers. He decided to go for it. He attained his Master’s Degree in floral arrangement from Chicago School of Flower Design. Today Maurice owns and manages a successful retail floral operation behind the shed there, to the left of the plastic green leprechaun. This is my drawing for the Illustration Friday ( IF website ) assignment, this time to illustrate "Hide". Click it for a bigger version.
