Dear Chaos #47: "Certified Wink Specialist: Hugs, Eyeballs, and Other Workplace Hazards"
A Winkatchoo Origin Story, Fueled by Latte Foam and Delusions of Cuteness
Let me set the scene: it’s 2:37 AM, I’m hunched over a Wacom tablet that’s seen more caffeine spills than actual productivity, and a cat—wearing glasses—just told me he was adorable. Not with words, no. With attitude. And newspaper clippings. Thus began the art piece that would haunt my dreams and my group chats: "Breaking Mews – Sources Claim I’m Adorable."
And you know what? Sources do claim that. But they also claimed Y2K would end civilization, so let’s proceed with caution.
The Birth of a Media Icon (or: How My Printer Summoned a Cult Leader)
The original idea was simple: make something “cute.” I wanted a break from drawing existential sandwich demons and emotionally unstable snowmen. Just one normal thing.
So I asked myself, what’s universally cute? Cats. Great. Let’s go with a cat.
Now add glasses, because why not weaponize literacy?
Then a cozy sweater. And a newspaper. Because this wasn’t just any cat—this was a journalist, probably the editor-in-chief of The Daily Yarnball.
At this point, I tried to print a test version... and the printer jammed. Not once. Not twice. Seventeen times. On the final jam, it spat out a single ink-drenched page with only the words “I’M ADORABLE” in comic sans, like some kind of cryptic prophecy from a sassy oracle.
This was no longer about art. This was destiny.
Breaking Down the “Mews”: A Deconstruction of Chaos
The Cat:
Is it a Scottish Fold? A disgruntled librarian trapped in feline form? Who knows. All I know is, those eyeballs could see through souls. And that’s precisely what makes them marketable.
The Newspaper:
Fully fabricated. I wrote all the headlines myself. Including one about a squirrel uprising in Central Park and another about a sock that gained sentience. Pulitzer material, obviously.
The Background:
An abstract nightmare of blue splatters and comic book sparkles. Why? Because I had paintbrush whiplash from drawing too many subtle pastels and I wanted to scream through color. Also, someone on Etsy said my backgrounds looked “too polite,” so this is revenge.
Artist Advice, But Like…Unhinged
For those brave enough to try your hand at creating twisted, meme-adjacent, emotionally loaded artwork that somehow ends up in nurseries and therapist offices:
1. Name Your Printer.
Mine is called Regret Canon. Yelling its name makes the rage feel more targeted.
2. If the Muse Doesn’t Show Up, Bribe Her.
I leave a trail of string cheese and passive-aggressive post-its that say, “Create or be replaced by AI.”
3. Don’t Underestimate the Power of an Eyeglasses-Wearing Animal.
People trust creatures with glasses. It’s science. They assume wisdom. Or at least good credit.
4. Make It Absurd Enough to Confuse Your Enemies.
If your art doesn’t raise at least one eyebrow and three existential questions, is it even Winkatchoo-worthy?
😼 Critics Weigh In (Spoiler: No One Asked Them To)
“This image made me spit out my coffee and question my cat’s intelligence. 5 stars.”
— Disoriented Reviewer #44
“Why does this cat know more about current events than I do?”
— Some Guy Named Dave
“My toddler calls this her 'Smart Kitty Daddy.' I have concerns.”
— Concerned Parent, Probably a Spy
🌐 How to Sell Weird Art Online (Without Crying into Your Shipping Labels)
Lean into the ridiculous. Your ideal customer wants chaos. Give them 110% unfiltered mews-energy.
Tag like your self-worth depends on it. Use keywords like “funny cat art,” “dark humor design,” and “adorable judgmental feline with opinions.”
Print quality matters. Don't let your masterpiece be betrayed by a blurry inkjet and an off-brand matte paper named “Papyrus Elegance Deluxe.”
🐈⬛ Final Thoughts from the Cat Himself
If this art piece had a voice, it would sound like a mix of Benedict Cumberbatch and a sentient Teletubby. It would say:
“I am the headline. You are merely the reader.”
And honestly? I believe him.
🌀 Wrap It Up, Chaos Goblin
If you’ve made it this far into my brain-spiral, congratulations. You’re now complicit in the media manipulation of an imaginary tabby cat with a superiority complex. I hope you’re proud.
