WOTW #41 – Grapefruit Popsicle Supernova

WOTW_Aug26_iphone4

Wallpaper of the Week for August 26, Grapefruit Popsicle Supernova, by Velocity’s graphic design intern Mercy-Anne Guevarra. A couple of weeks ago, senior designer Colette Boisvert kicked-off the August popsicle theme, and it’s been going pretty strong since then.

Grapefruit Popsicle Supernova is a stunning example of Lowbrow Pop Surrealism. An impossibly gigantic, planet-sized popsicle floats dripping in space, as the Klingon moon Praxis explodes behind it. In a decidedly postmodern twist, the image is “branded” with the Velocity logo. Clever.

Again, I could be over-interpreting things. I have been guilty of this before.

To all you weekend warriors, I say, Qapla’!

*Look carefully for the cloaked ship barely visible behind the popsicle stick.
