This is currently my favorite piece of art, bar none. It's a bit of a tongue-in-cheek spoof of the traditional interpretation of the book of Isaiah done by Edward Hicks in the late 17th/early 18th century. I know it may seem a bit odd, but something about this piece just strikes me as fundamentally mythological. Perhaps it is that manner in which the artist takes a social message and makes it just whimsical enough to appeal to the masses? Who knows? Whatever the case, this sure appeals to me.
