Zebra + horse = zorse

From the New Zealand Herald June 29, 2007

Eclyse the zorse is striking proof of how an offspring inherits genes from both parents - which in her case was a male zebra and a female horse. The result is shown in her amazing coat which looks like a zebra's that has been partly covered in white paint.

The First Rap Song Ever!

Artist: Souther Salazar

Souther Salazar's work first began to circulate in the early '90s, in the form of photocopied cut-and-paste micro-comics and zines he made in his bedroom as a young teenager in rural Oakdale, California. After graduating from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, he moved to LA. Salazar exhibits his collages, paintings, drawings, and sculptures in dense and frenzied installations that encourage exploration and participation by the viewer. His work has appeared in galleries nationwide, and in publications such as Kramers Ergot, Swindle, and the Drama, as well as a recent cover feature in Giant Robot.
