Props to the surreal, playful, intricate work of San Francisco artist Matt Furie. Looking like the Berenstein Bears on kombucha, Furie’s drawings manage to bring us 20-somethings back to our childhood and into the verdy near future at the same time. They aren’t always cheery or G-rated – see toxic waste raping ma nature – but looking at the beautiful/awful absurdity of the present through Furie’s eyes makes me smile.
