Gives Lladro a Run for His Money

Of course we ALL find Precious Moments figurines annoying, but do you ever get sick of all those romantic Lladro figurines featuring a bride and groom, a mother reading to her child, or two children feeding ducks? What feelings are these pieces supposed to evoke - “Awww that’s sweet” ? A little too vapid for me.
Enter Barnaby Barford (what a great name!), a hip young British artist whose ceramic work will have you looking twice. This one is called “Oh Please Can We Keep It Mummy?!” Other pieces include a horse cock, Hugh Hefner, car wrecks, and a plan for world domination.
