Ever imagined Mickey Mouse turned on by Minnie? Well, now you can stop imagining. Graffiti artist and international art and fashion protagonist André Saraiva created this eroticized sculpture of the 90-year-old Disney character that leaves no doubt that the aging icon has had the help of the infamous blue pill.
Saraiva was asked by Disney to create a sculpture of Mickey Mouse and came up with this lustful proposal. Needless to say, it was turned down. The sculpture is called ‘Mickey Viagra.’
André currently lives in Paris, where is graffiti is done under the name ‘Monsieur A.’ He also curates the concept shop Black Block, where you can find a replica of ‘Mickey Viagra.’
