I'm creating a butterfly each day for a year! (for a very good cause!)

Day 124 ~ I am the Eggman
CooCooKaChoo!
Still on my Chagall kick...
Chagall used lots of chickens and donkeys in his work. He grew up in a small rural village in Russia, and farm animals were around, so that was what he painted. He also loved the circus, and often combined images he liked together in dream-like compositions that made sense only to him.
A clock hangs from the chicken's arm and I'm not sure what it means. Perhaps it's a commentary on just how short life is, and to "gather ye rosebuds while ye may."

I've never seen an eggman like that before, especially with such cool psychedelic wings!
