Escapism comes in many forms right now, from reminiscing about karaoke-fueled holiday parties from years past to marathoning every episode of Gossip Girl. (Catch me doing both at once and try not to judge.) Now I have a new source of daydream fuel: Snail World, an adorably surreal book of miniature dioramas starring a surprisingly adorable snail (plus a few other slimy friends).
Created by artists Sam Copeland and snail devotee Aleia Murawski, each page is a snapshot from an alternate universe: a place where snails split a carton of buttery popcorn at the movies and flirt across burgers at a neon-lit diner. In other words it’s exactly where I want to be right now. Check out some of my favorite food-fueled scenes below and get the full masterpiece on Broccoli Magazine’s website.
