1000 Bunnies Listening to Obama

What This Blog Needs is a Little Dada

One day I put a new phone message pad on the table next to our kitchen phone. It was a brown-paper square pad illustrated with a pen & ink portrait of a rabbit's derriere.

Something about this design inspired every visitor to our kitchen to embroider the original to their own fancy. I don't think anyone took a phone message.

The 31 illustrations I've saved contain work by Casey Sonnabend, Laura Rice, Jon Bailiff, Aretha Bright, somebody’s three-year-old, and many others who dropped by.

If you're in the mood for a departure from reality, this is your ticket for the day.

I call the collection: 1000 Bunnies Listening to Obama, because that's what one of the illustrations said at the very top.
