Todd Schorr is so completely awesome
Todd Schorr has been at the forefront of the underground art scene for a quarter of a century, painting wild, psychotic fantastical scenes full of drooling, sex-crazed monsters that subvert the iconography of the American Dream.

My favorite quote from the article is
What’s your favourite animal and why?
I don’t know whether I could pinpoint a favourite, but as a child I did have a real infatuation with the Abominable Snowman.

It didn’t matter whether this thing was for real, they were great stories.
Me too Todd, me too.
