Andrew Brandou scared the hell out of me!

I need a vacation very badly. I think I'd like to take a "stay-cation" and sit in my house and just blog. I've got so much to blog about, but very little time.

This is old news, but the creepiest thing I've seen in a long time is this series of paintings by Andrew Brandou about the People's Temple murder/suicides in Jonestown.



(This one is my favorite.)

Turns out, Brandou's entire body of work consists almost exclusively of works inspired by creep, violent, cultish phenomena, including works inspired by the Manson murders. I really want to buy this:



It's a toy he's having manufactured of a recurring motif in his works, the sniper bunny. He's just so adorably creepy. Also, please understand, dear reader, that the aesthetic from those old Golden Books from the 50s, 60s, and 70s used to populate my nightmares as a child.
