Cellphone users have one more excuse not to use their words. With the newest iOS update for the iPhone, texts now include special effects, like falling confetti, and digital “stickers packs,” which are new and improved emojis.

Fine art lovers won’t be left in the dust of snarky cats and super sloths. Writer and artist Molly Young, along with Teddy Blanks of New York-based design studio CHIPS, created an assortment of scowling and brooding historical emojis, called Rejoinders for $0.99, based on paintings by great Dutch masters, including Rembrandt van Rijn and Jacob Cornelisz van Oostsanen.

And fear not, Houstonians. Design firm Primer Grey created Houston-themed emoji—appropriately dubbed Houmoji—that includes iconic staples like the Astrodome and Shipley Do-Nuts, perfect for Sunday morning hints.

Jeanne grew up in Cajun country where the bayous look a little different from the Bayou City’s. After graduating from LSU, she garnered lifestyle editorial experience on staff at New Orleans Weddings, Southern Living and Country Living magazines, as well as freelancing for Architectural Digest, Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles, Brides and Coastal Living magazines. After living throughout the Southeast, Jeanne and her husband packed up their boots for Texas in June 2016 and haven’t looked back thanks to Tex-Mex, bluebonnets and bigger hair. When she’s not covering the world-renowned arts scene of Houston, Jeanne can be found walking her hound dog Pepper in the Heights, braking for antique markets that rarely have air conditioning or rearranging her living room furniture (again).
