"Pretty Bunny/Ugly Hare"

acrylic and stickers on canvas board, 14 x 18

Something of a continuation on the theme of "fuck your fascist cuteness standards."

Inspired by the Playboy Bunny as a restrictive concept of American female beauty, the different connotations of the words "bunny" and "hare," and overhearing a pregnant woman discuss her fears that her unborn child would be born with a "hare lip," because that had "just ruined" Joaquin Phoenix's face.

This is the first time that I've really tried mixing a more deliberately stylized look with traditional painting, and I am very pleased with how that turned out.
