“plisky”(Scottish, obsolete)
noun (plural: “pliskies”)
1. a mischievous trick; practical joke.
adjective (alternate form: “pliskie”)
2. mischievous; playful.
Pliskies are cartoon tricksters. They’re abstract and illogical, and resemble something between clown, faerie, and alien. They’re recognizable by their many S-curves and their slyly-smiling, mask-like, often heart-shaped faces. They like to dwell at thresholds and transitions, and to act with levity as heralds of change and coincidence.
Pliskies are first and foremost doodles, created subconsciously, and exist only in relation to others. Thus, few are original, and most are inspired by or stolen from the art of others.
