Description When you're enjoying your fancy new Playstation or shiny new doll this Christmas morning, just remember to thank the single elf mom and her children, as well as Santa for ignoring those pesky child labour laws.

Originally, I was going to do this last year, but I ran out of time. So, here we go.

Poor little elfies... Santa is a cruel president and CEO.

This piece was inspired by the three 'candy cane' pillars in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. I see them everyday when I bus to and from work. They're just these giant, well, candy cane-looking smoke stacks. The image of this drawing popped into my head one day when I was observing them

Also: a shiny nickel to whoever can tell me the significance of the identification numbers (ie: where I got them from )

Merry Festivus! Boycott Elf-made toys!

Welly welly welly welly welly welly well. . .

I know where one of our dear droogs gets his number from.

Nice humor. Wal-mart has taken over Christmas. . . Blah. That's why I make my friends their presents. Nothing beats a home made plushie

I <3 the little girl-elf's expression. So sad, yet so cute. Made me feel bad for saying 'aww'.

Good eye.

Homemade plushies are pure joy. Plain and simple.

Thank you

Hoh schnapps. Do y'all not see the clear analogy he made to the Holocaust??? "Work will set one free" and all that?

The ID numbers look to me like the same ones that were branded into the arms of those trapped in the concentration camps.

This is a very good piece, both in representation and metaphor.

Hah, you always get the most awesome ideas.

zoldor In reply to CrazySwedishGirl [2006-12-28 17:34:10 +0000 UTC]

The first X-Men movie, where the beginning is based on true events, so 'twould therefore be the Holocaust, not the movie... >_>;

Although I'm guessing they're ID numbers. Zipcodes and the such with signifigance to the artist. XD

"A division of Wal-Mart"?! *chuckles*
That's so sad though! And there are actual pilars like that in reality? No wonder something like this popping into your head!
