noun (plural: “pliskies”)
1. a mischievous trick; practical joke.
adjective (alternate form: “pliskie”)
2. mischievous; playful.

These are my pliskies: cartoon tricksters. They’re somewhere between clowns, faeries, and aliens, abstract, illogical, and unknowable. 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. They’re primarily 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.
