Electric Tree Peony: The Pop-Art Delavay Anteckningsbok

Nature is too quiet. We have fixed it. Real flowers are silent. They sit in the dirt and wait for rain. It is dreadfully boring. This notebook corrects nature's mistake. It takes the solemn Paeonia delavayi and subjects it to the logic of the factory. It is loud. It is repetitive. It is glorious. The Collision of History and Neon Consider the absurdity: In 1884, Father Jean Marie Delavay, a Jesuit missionary, discovered this maroon peony in the misty mountains of Yunnan. He was a man of silence, prayer, and dirt. Now, look at this cover. We have taken Father Delavay’s pious discovery and treated it with the irreverence of 1960s Pop Art. If the good Father saw this, he would likely drop his rosary. We have replaced the mist with saturation. We have replaced the botany with a brand. The Anthropology of The Image Pop Art taught us that a soup can is as holy as a saint. This notebook argues that a Tree Peony is as artificial as a soup can. It is a copy of a copy of a flower. It is the perfect object for the post-modern writer. Why You Must Acquire This Object: For the Loud Introvert: You carry a notebook, which suggests you are quiet. But the cover screams like a billboard. It is a perfect contradiction. The Durability of Art: The real Paeonia delavayi wilts. It turns to compost. This image is immortalized in ink and finish. It will outlive your desire to write in it. Zazzle Craftsmanship: The spiral binding is strong. It holds the pages prisoner so they cannot escape, unlike your memories of what you ate for breakfast last Tuesday. Buy the notebook. The neon flower demands your compliance.
