the Youcoob generation by

pastels and acrylics on canvas

this picture is of the highly evolved coobs, this is the time of the great coobist thinker Albert Coobenstein, who said “10,000 years ago we were grunting chimpancoobs roaming about the earth without democracy or sliced bread, and take a look at us now… it is incredible.”

modern coobs have replaced the communal fires and superstitions of their fathers and invented these glowing screens for hire – music and moving pictures to be consumed within the home. this coob is one of millions watching ‘YouCoob’ here he sees a video with 1 million views called ‘top ten coobs falling over’.

    lol can’t help but laugh and also feel sad as well. I share the sentiment Lynda shared….

  • lol i know tahn, its a strange old world – i forgot my phone the other day on a bus and train trip, this allowed me to notice EVERYONE hunched over staring into screens, it got me thinking about how advanced we really have become – never a medieval shrine got as much attention as the screens we have today
