Teddy Bear Roll Out A printmaker, a printing press, and some stuffed animals.
It's like he's squeezed out their souls!

It worries me that I'm numb to the violence, gore, and promiscuity so frequently found on the internet, but the sight of an adorable teddy bear getting manhandled with a residue-leaving rolling pin and sent facedown through a torture device upset me incredibly.
Teddy bears are symbols of love, comfort, and innocence to me. Is seeing their objectification symbolic of all the pains of growing up or something?

Those prints are really cool, but the process of making them is like the world's cutest horror movie.

I thought for sure they'd slowly take out all the stuffing while rolling until the bear was absolutely flat. This was even worse.
It's like a MRI or X-Ray of a bear.
And the rabbit. *sob*
This isn't right.
