  1. The Bunnies in Prison website is pretty cool. Surreal describes it well. The bottom left hand side of the site suggests that it is a property of MTV. Good to know. I guess?

  2. The Philosophy drawing sequence is from a picture book called “Zoom”

  3. I was thinking the philosophy drawing sequence was from a book. Each picture reminded me of a book I looked at in the library as a child.
