\"Garfield\"<\/p>\n

Source: TL<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Shawn Bowers is an Artist from Chicago who has an unhealthy obsession with Garfield, and that\u2019s okay.<\/p>\n

Bowers, having drawn 50 different iterations of ya boi the Garf\u2019 on his Tumblr<\/a> (scroll down a bit to see his first Garfield works), decided the only way to advance his medium was a crossover with something else people have an unhealthy obsession with: The first generation of Pokemon.<\/p>\n

The Garfs\u2019 are organized on the totally official<\/em> Garfemon page<\/a> where every Mon\u2019 is organized in order of its ID number.<\/p>\n

When asked \u201cWHY DO THIS?\u201d, Bowers left the simple answer: \u201cI don\u2019t know, man, why is the sky blue? Why do saxophones make jazz? Why are saxophones gold?\u201d Translation: Cause I could.<\/p>\n

The project is still midway through production, with plenty of Garfs\u2019 still incomplete, but there are still quite a few fantastic pieces of modern art.<\/p>\n

We have picked out some of the best for you!<\/p>\n
