The Pilgrimm

Depends What You Consider Progress

So long ago (37 weeks is long right?) when we started this thing online, Ewizzle’s bud Jolly V joined in and in my opinion helped set the curve for the game that we play today. From week one’s giant squid, to the last time we’ve seen his work with his amazing Pigsie, his mixes of talent, humor and medias always made me smile.

As is often the case, life itself offered him some opportunities that temporarily pulled him from our midst and occupied his time and creativity so I’m more than proud to drag him back into the fray as this week’s judge and subject creator.

His subject this week leans more from a particular point of view than we usualy take, but in my opinion, if that’s what he wants to see, he’s earned it. Let it be gruesome, let it be horrible, and let the malformed breasts rain down! The rest of this is a direct quote from Mr Jolly himself:

The Pilgrimm is a vaguely humanoid creature originating in Western Europe. They are said to have made their way across the Atlantic Ocean to the coasts of North America on the flowery petals of a false sense of superiority. Taking root in the soil of the east-most edge of the continent, the Pilgrimms quickly dominated the countryside. Historical drawings often depict the creature wielding a large, gaudy, dripping wet blanket that was believed to be used to spread disease, petulance, and cranberry sauce. Young Pilgrimms are depicted as spry and whimsical while the elders stood with an air of entitlement and self-satisfaction. The female variations differed in many ways but were consistent in their having oversized, malformed breasts. Pilgrimms are known for their bad clothing (often including support hose, pointy hats, and oversized belt buckles) and strangely screwed-up faces, which are somehow both fatty and sunken at the same time. In modern folklore, they are described as the ancestors of the Westboro Baptist Church parishioner.

Pulling out the old art school style hack at a masterpiece this week… But Gimme a lil credit for at least swapping genders. And i was so torn, i had such a great single boob shot but I figured Jolly would enjoy the dueling floppers…

Judge’s Commentary

What caught my attention about Entry #2 is how much it resembled an old family photo hanging in my father’s den. It’s eerie, actually. I feel it perfectly captures the earnestness of the first Pilgrimms’ and their subdued but intense sense of obligation to smear their disease and fleshy sacs near and far… It also tickled my more sensitive spots for about two minutes (and intermittently, thereafter) and evoked a very real fear that somehow, by accident and against my wishes, those large, pillowy breasts would get into my mouth. Very well done.

That middle finger Pilgrimm is freaking terrifying and the wee native grub so adorable…but my favorite part is how the bird is like “whoa!”

Judge’s Commentary

Entry #13 is obviously a throwback to the art projects that we all used to make in our earlier years as we studied about the history and lore surrounding the Pilgrimms’ arrival. This particular scene is one I remember clearly, as a classmate of mine was actually stabbed with a pitchfork during play practice. Come to think of it, most of my class was killed during that performance… The drawings are seriously awesome (so…alive!) and force us to take a horrific glimpse into mass genocide on the back of a frightened turkey.

Haha he looks like a manatee! A sheriff manatee at that! I’m starting to get the feeling that we’re not much more than a giant jeweled necklace on one of these guys away from all being really cold.

Judge’s Commentary

This is a love story. A love story about the Pilgrimm who was like no other Pilgrimm. He was proud of his Pilgrimm heritage until, one day, while cutting down trees to feed the bellies of the fiery Pilgrimm children, he stumbled upon an Inconvenience. He and the Inconvenience fell deeply in love, frolicking through the woods together and enjoying the heavy petting of young love. He renounced his Pilgrimm way of life but continued on in silent protest, knowing that it would mean Cranberry Sauce for those he loves. One day, while applying lotion after a hard day’s work, he stumbled upon the head of his dear Inconvenience. He was heartbroken and it is said that he stood silently in that very spot for the rest of his tortured Pilgrimm existence. Today, he is the Washington Monument. I have always loved this participant’s entries, and #14 is no different. The big, teary eyes; the baby faces (often hairy); the turned-up noses; and, in this case the horrid, empty stare of the head (torso?) on the ground. Participant, it’s always good to see you.

He’s super familiar with flowery petals of superiority. I have no idea what that really means but I’m pretty stoked about coining the term “MorGrimm”. And his low hanging board shorts are cracking me up. But why no black socks?

Oh “LOVEY” shall we spread out the blanket and invite the neighbors? Ha! Man I’m 50% responsible for the ones up so far and I’m already afraid of the malformed boobs to come. The contents of the bag still have me giggling.

Survival of the Pilgrimm I don’t know what it means, nor why he has a string of hot dogs from his back to teh armpit of an inflatable mudhoney, but I like it… and is that a riot shield on his hat? Ooooh wait that’s a chain huh?

Well hello handsome and broad Pilgimm, why of course I’ll share my land (which i cannot possess anyways) and secrets with you, if you will just fix that misalligned button as i feel it makes you look untrustworthy.

Ok this is pretty fantastic, cause we’ve all always known in our hearts that Pilgrimms have disgusting butts and finally we have proof… though I’m strangely tempted to get that crossed drumsticks n pistol tattoo all of a sudden…

Hey everyone’s ancestral tree has a few surprises, I woulda pegged Yosemite to be more German/Norwegian than your traditional pastey Pilgrimm… but hell I’m wrong all the time…The forearm strength just to pull off that stance!

You really think a pet turkey would’ve been eaten long before they made it this far, maybe they really loved him! or maybe they’re so evil they wanted to taste the freedom in their meat? regardless, I kind of want this one on my wall.

Yes! so festive before any of the rest of you get too carried away, there is in fact an annual tradition that next week’s beast (not to spoil the surprise) will be the “turkey” this guy walks the line so I’m keeping him in Battle Pilgrimm.

Zombie Pilgrimm? A wolf in Pilgrimms clothes? Regardless those are some damn nice Pilgrimm booties and the socks do such a nice job of accentuating the pure Pilgrimm form… and that’s a damn nice turkey too.

You know until this moment I don’t even think my brain could’ve understood the concept of a bio-mech bow tie… But now it makes so much sense! And it so strangely reminds me of the old commercial for Indiana Beach…

Improper spelling still funny! And quite a nice little drumstick icon. So question… if someone made a delicious molded ice cream treat that looked like that, would you eat it? I would.

It’s always a tough decision to decide where to start the tongue on a long mouth like that. I think this one pulls it off pretty damn well. All the little arrows and the length of the torso on the guy in his hand is cracking me up.

I hope this isn’t one of those drawings that if we look at it we die, I mean its got that spooky mysterious shadow boob over there on the right… But assuming its not, I kinda love it. That hand is creepy as hell.
