Peeps 2025

Mona is now a repeat top prize winner at the annual Racine Art Museum's "Peep Art" show! She won "First Peep" along with the recently added "Postcard" prize, where her piece was selected to print on postcards for sale at the museum's gift shop.

 

It's a great piece. Mona's become quite proficient in her creation of flash sheets for her tattoo apprenticeship at Devotion. I love her Peeps Flash Sheet that she entered this year.

 

The details in it are just charming. I'm particularly fond of the cowboy with no way to use that gun.

My entry this year was also 2D, but I don't think it was clear to people what it really was.


I have a display in my shop that holds 480 Rubik's Cubes, and I arrange them into various mosaic designs. I tried out various Peeps images on it, because I wanted a "Puzzled Peep" made of puzzles. I liked the one I chose because as an art piece I found it most appealing. I took a photo of the cube mosaic, and had it printed out on a canvas through a company online in order for it to be something that fit the entry requirements of the Peeps show.


 

The show this year at RAM did not disappoint. It is always amazing to see how clever and creative people can be. The entry that made me really laugh was the homage to the duct taped banana.


There were a lot more glass entries than I remember from years past. I didn't get enough pictures of some of the funnier things, but here's some of what was there:
 


















A good Peeps year! We've already got ideas for 2026.
