Darling,
If life is but a banquet, then funerals are surely the dessert course—served with roses, limousines, and a touch of brimstone for garnish. In Mob Funeral, the mourners march in their black suits, the casket gleams like a brass instrument, and a matron with bat wings ladles out comfort with the zeal of a hostess who knows the secret ingredient is sin.
Why be content with ordinary grief when you can have spectacle, velvet, and a Cadillac hearse? This is death as theatre, darling—dark humor with a velvet ribbon.
Love,
Joan
Mob Funeral is Joan Seed at her wickedly sharp best: a surreal retro collage that fuses dark humor, glamour, and death’s pageantry into one unforgettable tableau. With cinematic color, mid-century characters, and gothic wit, this piece invites you to laugh at the absurdity of mortality while luxuriating in its excess.
Perfect for interior designers sourcing bold statement pieces, art collectors with a taste for irony, and galleries seeking conversation-starting works, Mob Funeral blurs the line between kitsch and classic, comedy and catastrophe.
