Googly Art!


Fellow Steemians, I stumbled onto something hilarious called the googly eyes movement this morning. Who knew?? Apparently "eyebombing" is really a thing now. Wait, what the heck is eyebombing? It's the practice of applying googly eyes to inanimate objects that resemble faces. Call is a low-impact anthropomorphic street art.

There are a number of websites devoted to the googly eye movement. Here's an amazing one below called the GOOGLYEYES FOUNDATION. They'll actually send you a pair of eyeballs to install in your hometown for free! I don't know what it is about all this but I find it hilarious and fascinating. There's just something very enjoyable about these little offset eyeballs that celebrate the under appreciated everyday objects around us.
