Filed under: Celebrity Animals
I couldn’t figure out what animals Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt looked like….until Michael K. of Dlisted said “draw Angelina as a Rhino with Brad picking flies out of her ears”. Never in a million years would I have thought of that. I took the challenge and created the Rhangelino (homeus wreckerus) and the Brird (subservius hunkus).
Animal Magazine is hitting the newstands this week and Issue 7 features ten exclusive Gallery of the Absurd illustrations with commentary written by Michael K. While Harpers Bazaar attempts to shock with a naked Britney Spears cover, Animal prefers to titillate with the tattooed and sexy-lipped Brangelino. You can get your copy here. More images from the “Celebimals” series will be posted here throughout July. Medium: Ink and acrylic on paper. Latin names by Michael K.

That is the weirdest, strangest, ugliest, and most imaginative thing you’ve done.
I’m just shaking my head…..over…and over….and over…….

Like Donna, I am speechless. It’s shocking and utterly fantastic.

Beautiful.
The lips are spot-on, and Brad, well, he’s just so pitiful.

I think you really captured the two of them really well. I think the relationship you’ve portrayed is dead-on. Now, if you had to add their kids to this picture, what animals would they be and what would they be doing?

Where can I get a print of this made? I’m renovating, making an African themed room and this would go great over the criss-crossed shotguns: very Hemingwayesque, I think.

Dear 14,
You called Angelina a Home wrecker (”Homeus Wreckous”) in relation, I assume, to the all Aniston-Pitt sordid affair but, don’t forget you need 2 for tango. Being an Adulterer, Brad Pitt carries a giant capital “A” on his forehead and should really be nicked as “Adulterous Uglious” than “Hunkus”. (There’s nothing pretty in a man who cheats on his wife.)

Hmmm… why “poor” Brad? I don’t see how he’s figuratively picking flies out of her ears. He fell in love with a woman and now they’re building a life together. It sometimes happens. Maybe you people could get a life too…

I am so sick if these self righteous idiots who write in defending these celebrities and claim to know exactly what’s going on with them. For all you assholes know, Brad and Angelina could be eating each other’s excrement! Go away and don’t come back.
Now, Angelina’s lips look like a clenched geriatric ass.
So Much Love,

lovely as always.
however, what i truly want to address is in regards to the link to the naked britney magazine shots. my concern is the fact that she dyed her hair. aren’t expecting mothers urged not to dye or even highlight their hair? aren’t the chemicals in some way caustic to the embryotic child? that was always my understanding. am i incorrect? or is britney more concerned with aesthetics than her own child’s well-being? i wouldn’t be surprised in the least if it were the latter.

I agree that it takes two to tango. They are both so full of themselves that they really do deserve to be together. Jennifer deserves better than him.

Demon Kitty,
I’ll assume that by “self righteous idiots” you are referring to me (2 posts before yours). Whenever did I claim that I know exactly what’s going on with these celebrities? You’re quite right, they could be eating each other’s excrement, though I find that highly unlikely. Oh, and that last comment about Angelina’s lips sounds like a little jealousy… Yes, they do look like a clenched ass, but for some reason I still believe that Angie with her fat-ass lips is much more beautiful than you.
So Much Love,
For Demon Kitty

Yes, I agree with Demon Kitty, the artist and those of us see behind the facade. She is repeating her role as the homewrecker. …and the boobie prize, Billy Bob has been replaced by Brad Pitt.
There are people out there who generally give to charity without interior motives.
For example: Warren Buffet, Oprah Winfrey, etc. These people do it because it the right thing, not to sway public opinion.
The celebrity worshippers who adore them just because their “hot”, says a lot about our society.
These people wanted to become famous and part of that is giving up basic privacy.
That means if they have a hand in sabotaging relationships, Angelina, Britney, Spelling
or being a dirty bitch like Denise Richards. They are going to be criticized and lampooned.
In other words, folks are going to have opinions and either deal or leave.

1. You appear to be a good at copying old picture’s and adding current pop culture to it, there is nothing new to this type of art, defenitely andy warholish and his shit never appealed to me but it is art nevertheless. This type of art is just another form of social commentary, no different than, lets say DListed.com 2. For those of you who think this stuff is brilliant, you must be like 18 years old and never walked through the halls of the Louvre. 3. No one but Brad and Angelina knows what there relationship is like, all anyone sees is the pictures that are taken and from that conclusions, opions, and little artistic redentions, like this one, are made…

dearest ali,
don’t be so pompous. you don’t have to be a certain age or have traveled to paris to appreciate “real” art. people can enjoy a myriad of things - in different genres. also, do you think everything in the louvre is based on original concepts? you think nobody’s ever painted a portrait of a woman in oil paints except when DaVinci painted the Mona Lisa? and as far as criticizing eighteen year olds who have not traveled to france, you’re pathetic. open your mind. i’m nineteen years old, and i have not been to europe as of yet. however, i probably have a much higher education in art and art history than you could even imagine. in fact, i’m studying at a very prestigious university of art as we speak. so, in short, stop making assumptions based on your ignorance. think outside the box for once, and learn to accept others’ ideals and perceptions. you sound like an idiot, although you’re trying to come off as though you deserve the highest horse around. but with a name like Ali, i don’t really expect much from you.
lastly, celebrities know into what they’re getting themselves. they know their lives will be speculated and satired. if they can accept it, why can’t someone as unimportant as you accept it? christ.
thanks,
alexi

Alexi, you talk about high horse, what the heck are you on? A wooden, rocker pony? I did not call any names in my posting, it is simply my opinion. IN your eyes I am a pompous edit, and you know nothing of me but my posting, how inside the freaking box is that? Then you critize my nickname Ali, what the hell is all that about? How 19 year old is that? That very prestigious university of art your attending obviously does not teach you anything about psycology or the human person. Your response screams defensive, immaturity all over it. Its more than walking through the Louvre to know art, its the history behind all the paintings and their creators, the history of the city that museum is in; the art created by any artist brings with it all kinds of history and I can be damnned certain your 19 yo arse has not learned about all that yet. Again, i had an opinion and all you did was write a defensive, attack about my posting. This is why i rarely comment on what is posted, cuz’ some immature, nasty person answers back w/some BS.
