Seymour

Seymour’s Midnight Snack Dilemma Image Composite BY: YVONNE In this quirky mashup, which if I remember correctly was a photoshop battle, the infamous ‘Feed Me, Seymour’ plant from Little Shop of Horrors is back, towering menacingly over a city street, but this time the stakes are… a zucchini?

Polaroids
