The Munny is a toy from [Kidrobot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kidrobot-2) that lets the owner draw their own designs to customize its surface; Adam Sibley takes this benign toy and turns it into a [sinister creation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/junji-ito-artwork) with his 'Evil Munny.'

Adam Sibley's 'Evil Munny' features two creepy eyes, one of which is enormous and bloodshot, the other of which is half-shut. With its bloody hands and blood-spattered hospital mask, this little guy looks like he came straight from a murder scene. Eep!
