The Lonesome Cowboy Wears Jams
The Lonesome Cowboy Wears Jams
Jul 14When the Takashi Murakami show hit LA last year, one of the most common reactions while touring the premises went something like this:
“Parental advisory? Whaaaaaat? All these little animals and flowers are so cute and pop art-y and HOLY MOTHERFUCKING SHIT NEVER MIND.”
That moment right there is when most folks rounded the corner and spotted The Lonesome Cowboy, a gigantic statue who is very talented in a way I can’t really describe without blushing (don’t worry, you’ll be able to figure it out in a second). Anyway, the exhibit just wrapped up a stint in Brooklyn, and Heidi MacDonald attended and posted a nice essay with some very insightful points, but I have to admit that before I even read said essay, I laughed for 10 minutes over the little outfit she gave Mr. Cowboy. I just love that. He is digging the tasteful hibiscus-themed pattern — you can tell.
As for the answer to Heidi’s final question, I think the cowboy looks fucking elated. Wouldn’t you be? I mean, if you could do that?
