Hah, I love this! The smudgy-ness of the colors and lines add to the madness I just adore it, I think it's a hilarious and animated illustration.

I like how it kinda looks like a happy picture, but it's all tinted reddish/brownish, like something horribly baaad's happening. xD

I was going to post a comment about how "everyone did cows rolling around" and how "I was going to be original and put a bio-hazard sign on it" but I was giggling to much for it to make much sense.

Hrm... the aging/crackling varnish definitely adds a lot to this piece; pretty ingenious use of the stuffs.
