Basically in a nutshell Alex Podesta is at the nucleus of the New Orleans "art" scene and looks like he is probably pervy as hell from his bunny costume pics. Look at all these art gallery appearances. It is obvious that he is at the heartbeat of Louisiana "art." Researching the people he affiliates with such as some of these art gallery owners or other affiliations might turn up some links to shady funding or politicians. I have not looked at this much but this popped out at me. Here it is for what its worth.
Lol. Those are blindfolded rabbits with droopy ears, not teddy bears. According to an interview with him, the rabbit-suited men are all depictions of himself trying to bring the security of his bunny jammies into adulthood. As far as the blindfolded bunnies without his face on them, the ones he's approaching with a baseball bat--you have to wonder whether they represent other "bunnies" from his childhood that he was forced to hurt. Sounds to me like a case of sustained trauma from SRA using the Alice in Wonderland theme. Here's the interview: http://pelicanbomb.com/art-review/2014/alex-podesta
From the interview:
"I was interested in delving into some key developmental factors from early childhood and trying to apply them in semi-serious, semi-comical ways to the experience of adulthood. Presenting the figures as half man/half bunny was meant to reference the emotional security that many children find in a small, warm blanket or, as it pertained to me, a zip-up, footed pajama suit that I fantasized transformed me into a bunny."

Good chance he was forced to kill rabbits when he was a little boy.

Or little kids dressed like rabbits if SRA was part of the equation.
