Joe Ledbetter

Think I first got hooked on bunnies when I happened across some work by Joe Ledbetter, a Los Angeles based artist that combines playful with a darker, subversive side. I've been following his work a couple of years now and am delighted that some of his pieces are filtering through to South Africa. You can already buy some of his art at ToiToy on Kloof street.

Last year I even attempted to copy a piece of his that I particularly liked. Bunnies on mushrooms I've been calling it. Acylic on canvas. Took me ages to get coloring right since the dark blue background kept coming through the yellow of the bunnies.
