What this tells us is that if you get an abortion you turn into a frog.

Apparently a week-dead plague victim has given birth to a stillborn .. beetle? Of some kind?

I like the Nathaniel Hawthorne touch, though, with the beetle-coordinated stripey “A.”

If she’d wanted it to stand for ‘abortion’ she’d have surely included a little vacuum hose or an unbent wire hanger.

Oh.My.God. It just warranted more than just OMG.

That is hideous, and just beyond any rational explanation as to the reason for its existence.

However, the ’see it in a room’ is brilliantly done.

ok I just figured it out, it’s not a dead upside down frog, that yellow striped bean in the middle is the baby – with little string arms and X’s for eyes, which means….well…..looks like a late term abortion by the size of him.

Ok, if I had some odd green polka dot disease and my baby looked like a freakish bumblebee, then I guess this picture might be appropriate… Oh hell, who are we kidding! This is horrible no matter what “fun” colors the artist paints it in!!

She’s managed to do the impossible. She’s come up with a design that’s pure marketing genius for both pro-choice and right-to-life groups. It’s not easy to make abortion look both fun and scary!

My personal guess is that ‘A’ is for Africa and the dead baby signifies all the infants born to mothers with HIV. But that’s just a wild guess.

I agree with #18. Totally a dead baby Mr. Peanut. He starts with the party mix. . . next thing you know, you’ve got the plague and you’re knocked up. Never be fooled by the monocle!

“what the fuck is wrong with people?”
was the specific thought I had after looking at polka-dotted frog legs with some weird yellow crap superimposed on them… and then I read the title, and made a squinty face and said: “what the fuck is wrong with people?”

My god this is retarded. Whatever this is made out of was a waste of time and materials.

Wonderful job with the room insertion. You got that spot-lighting just right. also, it reminded me very much of the pediatrician office I went to growing up. They always had weird kid-centric art on the walls.

Hopefully someone bought it NOT for a kid…get it off the market and all that?

As for the item itself, I don’t even know what to do with that. Miscarriage, stillbirth, and abortion are such painful subjects for people who’ve actually been through them that art about it is always a risk (and never appropriate for kids until they’re teens). Kids aside, this could be a horrific experience for a woman who’d had one of the above and walked into a room where it was displayed. Or it could be very cathartic for just someone who’d been through that…

but not for small kids.

#41 EMPM :

Oh, I know what this is from. It’s an illustration from the children’s book, Mr. Peanut Takes a Frog Lover. The series was a propaganda piece put out by Kerr’s Nuts in an attempt to smear their competitor, Planters. The books came out in the late 60s and all try to depict a young Mr. Peanut in a negative light. This drawing, from Mr. Peanut Takes a Frog Lover, deals with the themes of bestiality (if Peanut/Frog sex can be considered such) and a little known practice called Peanutting, which basically involves Mr. Peanut inserting half of his body in his lover’s orifice. The letter A was never explained in the book. Planters Corp. eventually found out that Kerr’s was the source of these books and sued for defamation and copyright infringement, which ended up settling before it went to trial. All of the known copies of the books were assumed to have been destroyed. This is a rare print and well worth the $10.00 asking price.

I am OK with the idea of using art as therapy. It has a long and positive history. But a note to people like Butanis and this chick: please don’t then put the results of your art therapy up on Etsy and try to sell it. Leave it in your attic, where it belongs.

EMPM made me laugh out loud. She/he should get a job writing Etsy descriptions for some of our lack-wit sellers.
