Elvis is a Sad Unicorn
I’m not quite sure what to make of this drawing by Sleepybowie. It’s by far one of the most surreal unicorn drawings I’ve come across and that is saying something. In the artist’s own words: Elvis is sad, and a unicorn. And if you ask me that’s the type of thing a spoiled brat would [...]
Unicorn Overdose
This drawsome print is by Sebastian Millon an artist who is apparently noted for his lack of vision; his art is usually muddled in a turbid stew of crockery.

Penis Unicorns
Obviously I wasn’t the first person to ever consider harnessing the magical power of unicorns for sexual purposes. I’ve not been able to find an appropriate credit for this image but it sure does look like a perfectly pink cartoon of my Invictus. Though Invictus is a little more long in the horn than the [...]
Unicorns are Magic and So Are You!
