What’s wrong with this picture…revisited June 5, 2009 @ 10:00 am
Check out these two photos of pizza boxes. The one with the beach scene in the background was handed over to me with a pizza almost a year ago. I posted the picture on my blog because I thought it was all a bit phallic. Click here to see the original post. I don’t think that my objection to the pizza box brought about the change, so I guess the artist, who probably gets paid to produce a ‘new’ pizza box illustration annually, decided to be a bit lazy and update the background only.
As much as the beach scene was all wrong, I’m not sure that grapevines are much better. It looks like they’re waiting for their pizzas, or that they’re ready to attack, and now I have this image in my head as if from some C-grade movie from the fifties, when things always seemed to attack humans. Is the grinning pizza man about to die? And is the wood-fired oven in the background teaming up with the grapevines? Are they both being controlled by the villa on the hill in the distance? I’m now really looking forward to next year’s illustration. Will it be a Venetian gondola? The pope? Or a trulli hut? I’m hoping for an Italian ski resort.
Attack!!!!
Next one it will be the pope. Guaranteed. Can’t miss.
Whatever wrong with the picture, I think it’s ugly, darn ugly and silly.

Ahh, the losing weight thing will be my progression with Photoshop. He was actually not as fat as he looks in the first one. I gave him extra kilos! Woman’s revenge!
