ART: Frosty the Snowman murdered by wife; shoved into a Sno-Cone machine!
Edited on Mon Dec-10-07 10:22 PM by Bluebear


Frosty the Snowman’s wife apparently got fed up with his holiday spirit, so she shoved him in an ice shaver... At least, that’s the interpretation of one Oberlin, Ohio artist, whose sculptures have taken a twisted view on traditional holiday images.

Keith McGuckin created an image of Frosty’s estranged wife Veronica after she put her husband, complete with magic hat and carrot nose, into a snow cone machine. “My analogy is that I’m kind of like Norman Rockwell on a bender,” he said.

...More people seem to be upset that the murderous "Veronica" is a chain smoker.

“If you look at the absurdity of the whole thing, that’s where the theme is supposed to be,” McGuckin said.

Too bad she didn't take out the network and the sponsors too.

7. "McGuckin explained this was the second version of the art piece...
Edited on Tue Dec-11-07 12:00 AM by originalpckelly
In the first concept Veronica was featured at a chop block slicing a carrot with a horrified Frosty looking on."
