Nightmare fuel. 😨
Native American artist Cannupa Hanska Luger (cannupahanska) has announced that he helped build “Tinsel Larry” — one of the haunting mascot in Jordan Peele’s newest horror film, HIM (himmovie). 🏈👹
Cannupa shared that “this project offered a rare chance to confront the violence of mascotry itself," while thanking lead costume designer Dominique Dawson (dominique_dawson) for the collaboration.
In a new interview today, Dawson revealed more about the process:
“I’m really proud of the work that we did on this project to show the level of injury that happens to athletes and how that can create psychosis..." Dawson shared, "[Conquistador Larry] evolves into Tinsel Larry... we worked to build and create with an incredible artist from New Mexico named Cannupa,” referencing the project’s Native symbolism.
How cool is this?! What do you think Tinsel Larry represents?! 🏟️🎉
