Kapow! Dwell Pop Art Cushions

The look of distress on this woman's face could apply to any number of scenarios. She left the house without an umbrella! She's fled from a really bad date! She forgot to record her favourite TV show! That's one of the things I love most about pop art, especially Roy Lichtenstein's work. You can add any back story to it you want.

Like, what's the deal with this chap?
Is he a dashing hero? Or a cad and a bounder? Is he up to nefarious deeds? Is he pretending to be John Travolta in Grease? Are they in fact re-enacting the whole of Grease and maybe Grease 2 because the rain has driven them insane?

But then this happens!
Oh. Is this a literal explosion or a metaphorical one? Is the chap breaking up with her and their relationship has gone boom? So many possibilities.

If you want a bit of boom or kablam in your life and like idly speculating on what other people's stories are, then these are for you. Each cushion is £24.95 and available for pre-order from Dwell. They're expecting them in on 27th July and they can email you when they're in stock if you don't want to order now.
