Story developing…

I loved his work. He was a true great. He will be missed.

The Giant Pink Bunny in the Room

Why ski the Italian Alps when you can climb a giant pink bunny?!

This slightly creepy 200 foot toy pink wool rabbit was erected on an Italian mountainside as part of an art installation and will remain until 2025 for hikers to climb.

Eat your heart out Mt. Everest.
