Justin Shimp: I have your notebook

Everybody thought this Shimp classic surrealist piece was lost to rumour.

In this essay, Shimp explores why camping is a terrible idea. The bugs are bad but the bugs are also camping.

So much has been written about this image. The bird represents peace but the smoke coming from its beak means it’s likely to develop cancer. The bird is still singing a song but the notes come out all jumbled. We’re told it’s OK but the date is 1980. Is it still OK? How can we know?

This is where the mystery of the Shimp really comes into play. An almost entirely blank sheet with just an invented town in a city that doesn’t exist in that country. What is he trying to tell us?

It’s a whole bunch of eyes. And then more eyes!

This is clearly an exercise of some sort.

These are unlicensed drawings and somebody should inform Disney of the copyright breach.

This is really ultra fire!

(Or something. This is like the Hello Kitty of notebook sketches. It reflects whatever manic, angry or hyperactive emotion you’re feeling at the time.)
