Pizza Rat Beanie - Wearable Art

Keep warm and/or hide your bad hair day with a soft acrylic beanie featuring a photo patch of a pizza rat detail from my painting, Shiny Beautiful Things. Art beanies are stretchy and measure approximately 7.75" W x 8.5" H (the "brand ambassador's" head is toddler-sized which is why the look is more slouchy on him than an adult human.) Current colors are: neon fuchsia (hot pink), eggplant purple, and charcoal grey.

About the Shiny Beautiful Things series: I decided to explore why we classify certain animals as trashy and hold others in such high esteem, considering we develop buildings on their natural habitats and are responsible for the majority of the trash on this planet. In my research, I learned the critters we deem invasive, feral, and unwanted weren't always this way – it's a learned response due to our overconsumption. Additionally, it's likely they remind us of the qualities we don't like about ourselves. The series depicts our maligned filthy friends finding ways to survive and thrive amid their trashy existence.
