A place to post obscure images. Post images that people would likely never see without looking at this community.

Obscurity is a spectrum. Just don't post anything super mainstream. Your obscure images don't need to be interesting.

Link to your source if you have one.

Found this while scrolling through a twitter timeline. Google Lens and Tiny Eye couldn't find a source.

If anyone knows the original artist let me know. I'd love to see more of their work.

I was asked to add the “have YOU dronk enough water today” dinosaur to Redbubble, so it is there now, but I re-drew it because the original is 3 years old and also a very grainy jpg. And I see now I that the original is different by one word and I didn’t remember that when re-doing it, oops.
