Venus of the Sprawl

This might seem like typical “bad boy” art at first, merely being irreverent and lashing out. However, I believe the artist shows compassion for Minnie Mouse, and his description is telling. He states: “given consciousness, would these icons choose to remain what they are?” Here we have a Disney character, horribly despondent at her own creation/existence – something like a Frankenstein’s monster – crying oversized cartoon crocodile tears while butchering herself. She has the mouth of a slobbering hound, and sumptuously ideal breasts. In all the mixed effect is attraction/repulsion, comedy/ridicule, sadness/pathos, empathy/projection, and a general “dichotomous” feel, to use the artist’s word. Overall I find this image quite sad.
