Last week I got obsessed with moon-themed art, so I decided to hunt down the best pieces ever made. Started by typing “famous moon art” into my dusty old laptop at 3 AM, drinking cheap coffee while my cat Judgy watched me like I was nuts.
The Rabbit Hole Phase
Searched for hours like a detective chasing leads. Found tons of paintings, photos, even some weird sculptures made of cheese wrappers. My browser had like 30 tabs open until my computer froze and Judgy stepped on the keyboard, deleting half my research. Typical Tuesday.
Narrowing Down the Madness
Made a messy spreadsheet with:
- Artist names scribbled sideways
- Dates mixed up ’cause history isn’t my strong suit
- Random ratings like “10/10 would howl at”
Decided focus mattered most – skipped anything that looked like a kindergarten moon with stick-figure astronauts.
The Big Controversy
Almost ditched Van Gogh’s “Moonrise” ’cause honestly? That brushwork looks like my toddler niece finger-painted it. But my art-major neighbor threatened to key my car if I excluded it. Fine. Compromise kept peace in apartment complex.
Final Picks Came Down To
- That old Japanese woodblock print where the moon’s bigger than Mount Fuji
- NASA’s Apollo 8 “Earthrise” photo that makes you feel tiny
- A glowing neon moon sculpture from some Berlin warehouse party
Published the list before dawn. Judgy finally approved by sleeping on my keyboard, which counts as praise. Moral? Moon art proves we’re all just primates staring at the same skyrock since forever.
