My 3-year old has a series of UK kids books called Usborne Family Tales, in which the artist embeds a duck somewhere on each page. Is there some kind of underground trend starting here? If so, sounds delicious.

Why a duck?
Why a no chicken?

At first, I thought, "What the duck?" Then I quacked up.

This is not best of the web. Not even best of the webbed foot.

From the main view I though the Bosch was an Ernie Barnes and I was fully prepared to laugh my ass off. Alas no, but sometimes you're forced to take matters into your own hands.

Such a simple idea, yet so delightful. I'm not even sure why I like these so much.

I like these. Though with the some of the religious ones, I think I would have opted to add a devil duckie instead.

And for the record, I find that almost anything "...with ducks added" will be better as a result.

This is because ducks are made out of pure awesome.

With the state of post-millennial art in its current, tattered form, simultaneously supremely vigorous and dull as dishwater, it's not unusual for viewers, critics, and artists alike to look to the past for recontextualization. This collection of items from a broad swath of art history is a fine primer, as it includes a selection that's tailor-made to provide a data point (or ur-impression as it were) that can allow even the most amateur critic to look at today's works in a new light. Also, there are duckies. little yellow duckies.

If they weren't doing anything wrong, we wouldn't be shooting them.

Every time they put three ducks into a painting... they should add a goose.

Dammit... TWO ducks, not three. My poor math skills fucked up my own stupid joke!

Or maybe a Gray Duck.

I like the subtlety and color choice of this one.

Samsara, Ze Frank was my first thought as well. Oh, how I miss his vidcast.

Floydd may not have won this thread, but he's in the lead. (Hint: think Marx Bros.)

I don't know why a chicken, I'm a stranger here myself. You try crossing over there with a chicken, and you'll find out viaduct.

I'd like to see the same thing but with dildoes and classic baseball photographs rather than stupid-ass old paintings.

Who likes the little little duckies in the pond? I do, I do, I do, a-chicka quack quack!

More ducks: the art of Kaj Stenvall.
Saw some of those in an exhibition: amazing.
