People are Saying…
“Sloppy pop art with a folkloric aesthetic always stumbles over the traumatic violence inherent to our ancient stories. Some revel gleefully in the violence, others obviate the trauma with twee. Unicorn Meat walks a narrow middle path. It is upsetting in its violence, but only because it cares about me, and wants to teach me to be safe.”

“A fun summer at camp Sunny Smiles Unicorn Farm where absolutely nothing goes wrong!”
