Ted Parker does illustrations of dogs that play basketball and wear fedoras

I don’t do favourites but I do do top threes. Top three subject matter involving an animal featured in a Ted Parker illustration: smoking dog; drinking dolphin; lions playing basketball. Top three stylistic devices used by Ted to obliterate reality and replace it a better, funner, happier one: salad servers for hands and feet; horseshoe shaped ankles; trans-gender, disturbingly happy dot-dot-dot-half-circle faces. Top three illustrators right this moment, right now: Ted Parker; Ted Parker; Ted Parker. His work just kills me it makes me so happy.
