Have You Seen My Lost Pet?

via Simon Gray's Web Candy on 3/21/08


HAVE YOU SEEN MY LOST PET by 7U

This is an A6 portrait format zeen with black & white copy paper skin & guts made of the same with occasional full colour pages. It's a collection of 'Lost Pet' posters & a few that aren't even animals, just 'Lost Stuff'. Each poster is naturally kind of brief but together they're a fascinating collection. It's very unlikely you'd find this many posters on one local telephone pole. The fleeting experiences you've probably had with your own local posters have at times stirred up a little sympathy, but putting this many together those prone to such sympathies may be prepared to face an emo breakdown. I've been told some people can't read this thing the whole way through as they find it too sad. I found the whole thing captivatingly horrific, but moreso due to the anthropomorphic tendencies imbued upon the beasts who've suddenly got a whiff of freedom. It'll probably evoke a lot of anecdotes about other memorable posters if you share this thing with pals.
