Mug shots

The above mug has been charged with crimes against taste. It was whiling away the hours in the ‘please-take-me’ box of a country garage sale, until it got a second chance in the city.

Speaking of which, look at this splendid lobster, found somewhere in South Australia, a feverish childhood memory, circa 1980's family road trip. Which sculpture is scarier? Discuss.
