Faunadestia

Faunadestia is a painting by Marilyn Manson. It depicts Mickey Mouse taking the top of his head off, in a manner someone would take his hat off while greeting someone. The painting alludes to Disneyland's famous "mouse ears" and is perhaps a visual representation of the lyrics, "I'm the leader of the club and I've shrugged off my mouse ears" from Ka-boom Ka-boom. The painting was exhibited in The Golden Age of Grotesque & Trismegistus Art Exhibitions, It is now unavailable as it has reportedly been sold to American musician Rob Zombie's tour manager for an undisclosed amount.

Manson's interpretation of the Painting

" Every artist has to do Mickey as a rite of passage. This is my interpretation. The title refers to the phobia of animals scratching their genitals. I think Andy Warhol did say America suffers from a rodent fetish. I enjoyed that."
