I'm sorry that this is a somewhat worthless post because I have almost no details. But that pic if taken from a series of (faked) pics regarding aliens coming to earth. The photographer also did a series with a mutated looking man in various awkward social scenarios. I really wish I could remember his name, or the link to his work, as it is now driving me crazy...
I added the picture itself to the post. I've definitely seen this before, and like Lothar says, I also have the vague memory that it was some kind of art project. Or maybe special effects for a film.
Come on now Paul... give credit where due. It was certainly quicker than say mailing out the inquiry and waiting for the friendly postman to return hopefully someday with a reply now wasn't it?
Pray tell me what on earth the creature is. I am befuddled as ever.

Actually, it's a dead dog's head with a halloween mask on it, according to snopes.

No its a seal's head. dogs don't have sharp teeth in the front of their noses.

Come on, don't hate on Maegan from Tampa!
This has been Snopesed, too, just fyi, and evidently Skeptic is quite right that it's been rumored to be a chupacabra...it isn't really, though, of course.

I know that Snopes says it's a piece of art created by a special effects expert for an art series, but that still doesn't answer exactly what it is. Is it made from latex and foam, then, or is it an artistically made-up dog's head? It looks a lot like a dog's head. I haven't had much experience with dead seals, so I can't say whether it could be a seal's head as Kirby suggests.
And Winona's right, Maegan is a hottie. As is Winona.
