What’s awesome

Completely awesome, but only in theory, i.e, I wouldn’t want to run into them in real life:

  • Giant squid (good old architeuthis)
  • Kraken
  • Pirates
  • Ninjas
  • Sharks
  • Alligators, crocodiles, caymans
  • Jellyfish
  • Bats

Awesome in a purely stylized way:

  • All of the above, plus:
  • Birds
  • Vines, leaves
  • Fire escapes
  • Vampires

Awesome in an approachable way:

  • Dogs
  • Cats
  • Toddlers
  • Guitars
  • Cupcakes
  • Robots
  • Monkeys
  • Apes
  • Typewriters

    I love that robots and cupcakes are together. Where do you place fish in your taxonomy?

    Probably in the second tier. :)

    What would be really awesome would be a cupcake-dispensing robot — sort of an EZBake 3000, if you will.

    Monkeys and apes can be too approachable at times.
