Okay, okay, so it would be more sinister if there were a real rabbit's skull inside which you'd only notice when the head melted a touch and you saw its true form poking through, but still, whoever designed it was an evil genius.
While Easter really doesn't get as much twisted tribute as Christmas (Halloween is a given) some artists go out of their way to reveal some of the sinister nature involved.
So, the Musical Scares award for best twisted representation of Easter goes to... Todd Schorr!
Schorr's lowbrow art is really in a class of its own, taking a multitude of pop-culture icons and blending them together with an almost worrying eye for detail, all whilst maintaing excellent composition and most importantly, keeping a sense of fun.
While Schorr is one of the bigger names in the community, there's a reason for it, and time after time he produces great pieces with inventive themes.
Given that this is being posted on Easter Monday there's really not alot more to say about it, so while that rabbit sits on my desk, luring me in with its devious eyes, I hope you have a good time in what remains of the holiday!
