‘Crikey’
11″x14″
Ink on Archival Paper<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

‘Crikey”<\/span>s fragmented form embodies the Weltschmerz <\/span>of being thrust from his TV paradise into 2025 reality<\/span>. The parody <\/span>twists his innocent image into a snarling ID, reflecting the trauma of finding his wholesome, simple world shattered<\/span>. The social commentary<\/span> hits hard: surrounding him is not Bluey’s Brisbane, but a chaotic landscape of capitalist decay<\/span> (burning ‘SALE’ house) and emotional debris, showing that real life is ugly, fragmented, and perpetually overwhelming <\/span>compared to the screen.<\/p>\n

**Weltschmerz Series<\/p>\n

**This is parody in order to communicate my social commentary using our childhood cartoons as inspiration and how they might react finding themselves suddenly existing in our current reality.**<\/p>\n

My childhood cartoons would not make sense of our world today if they found themselves transported out of the world they currently live in\u2026brightly colored, crisp clean lines and storyline resolutions in 22 minutes.<\/p>\n

This series allows me to express my thoughts, and provides some therapy, on the state of our country, world, culture \u2026 today, without being overtly political.<\/p>\n

\nI will be adding more current cartoon characters bc I think it continues to relate to new generations\u2026 not just mine.<\/p>\n

At the surface they\u2019re just paintings of known, beloved characters\u2014 but they\u2019re also a comment on the world I see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
