Tweet Museum: Museum of Modern Tweets
For all you twitter followers and fiends, a great collection of
drawings by LA/NY artist, Odessa Begay, has presented a literal
translation of celebrity tweets into a visual showcase. In just a 140
characters, Twitter has become a viral news sources to many media
degrees, all the while, Odessa’s drawings have become the new political
and social cartoon commentary that parodies the allusion of celebrity
news and gossip. The inspirational celebrity tweets, that are both
submitted and followed, fuels Odessa’s illustrations to take content out
of context.
The fanciful interpretations play up a satirical caricature within the
celebrity’s mindset, whether they are defending media gossip to their
everyday altercating relations with reality. From Anderson Cooper’s
Sexual Healing to Jim Carrey’s neighbors, and most recently revealed
(above) Ice T vs. Amiee Mann, the pictorial conversation is gathered
into a museum that acquires new works every Tuesday. Odessa’s drawings
are charming and a breath of fresh air.
