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.
Grab yourself a set of eyeballs (for free through the Foundation, above) and have some fun!

Boo @voronoi !
Haha! With eyelashes, that's next level stuff right there.
Just taking it to the next step.
I must admit I have done this more than once. Many vegetables in my kitchen have eyes-especially at Halloween. It makes for an interesting visual when I am making ratatouille- Arrrrrrggghhhh!

nice....your post deserve my upvote and resteem....
This is such a fun thing to do. I love making art out of found objects. And I do think this movement does constitute innovative community art.
I think its a basic human tendency to see faces everywhere- we are wired to recognise others and we carry this across to inanimate objects all the time. Adding googly eyes just makes it even more distinct, and lends a nice dash of humour. An act of street art worth spreading!
Hahah, this a great idea. I have seen few here in Athens. When you see it on the street in front of you it is a lot funnier.
hahahaha this made me smile. A little laughter goes a long way. Thanks for bringing this googly eyes phenomenon into my consciousness dude!
Rendering the secret world of living things..
Really love this post.... Would dabble in the movement for my next post...
