One of the biggest perversions in the FrogWorld was called misvegenation or in our terms, going to bed with vegetables. Since frogs do not eat and use food just for art, any gumming, licking, or saying tender words to food is considered disgusting.

Sometimes a silly title just occurs to an artist and he makes a piece that is like a rhebus for that title. Such is the case here. There is nothing profound about it.

The products parodied in this piece may not look very familiar to Americans but that's because they're parodies of Canadian products.

And if a bathtub of chocolate things is good, think of a swimming pool filled with that ultimate treat, a chocolate covered rutabaga or potato!

I always imagined that to display this piece properly, you would have to cut a hole in your floor and set this piece into it. It would then look like you had a pit of donuts in which a frog is relaxing.

Another of the rhebus pieces. This time the title occurred to me while driving across the nothern part of The Great Lakes, one of the most boring drives in North America, akin to driving through West Texas.

I like to make clay pieces for a specific site in a home. Few things would be good in a bathroom, well, other than a giant frog glued to the bottom of your bathtub, than to be able to put your toothbrush in a wide-mouthed frog.

These, in the FrogWorld, functioned as portable power broadcasting stations for sexual energy. The power can be used to run small kitchen appliances.

That will teach this frog to try to eat things! But, when it comes down to it, it was just fun for me to blow a hole in a frog's stomach with a firecracker.

This was made in my meat years, living in Aurora, Ontario. The price of meat had just sky-rocketed. Luckily, I was able to trade a large ceramic pig head to my butcher for a side of beef. He hung the pig head in his shop in the English tradition. In those days, I also had a German butcher, but he wasn't up for a trade.
