One of the latest upload on your website has been a video named How to Explain the Art World to a Dead Hareduring which something quite grotesque happens to a stuffed animal standing in the middle of a road. Now that I think about it I have written songs about Marilyn, Mickey and Obama too. Have you got a favorite one or each one has a special effect on you?Įither MC Supersized or Cathy Cowgirl would be my favorite. We substitute cow’s milk for mother’s milk for our children, we eat them for lunch, they make great canvas’, what’s not to love?Īmong your unique cast of characters there’re sexualized animals, Marylin Monroe with Mickey Mouse breasts, the fat fast food presenter MC Supersized and last but not least, Abraham Obama, a mix of America’s 16th and 44th presidents. Or barnyard.Ĭows are leitmotiv in your work. I am on a mission to bring art to people’s own backyard. It’s just not part of their lives, it’s some distance thing off in New York or Rome or somewhere. What was the message?Īmerican’s aren’t that interested in art. Most of my friends just said “you mean Slash?” Yep.ĭown in South Texas you’ve recently bombing some bovine (no cows were hurt). I did the cover some time ago but he asked me not to talk about the project so I just told people I did a cover for the world’s greatest guitar player but I couldn’t say who that might be. I’m glad the Slash CD is finally coming out. We just mastered our first record with hopes of releasing it this fall. I currently have a band called The Electric Illuminati. Which is the role of the music in your life? You’ve also painted a lot of album covers such as the new Slash solo album. Morgan is a person who is committed to making the world a better place and has already made a huge difference. He asked to use my art in his film and do a little commentary. Morgan saw one of my MC Supersized billboards that depicted Ronald McDonald as he would appear if he actually ate at McDonald’s, obese. Did you already know him before that moment? How you felt about that experience?
MAIL BOMBING ANONIMO MOVIE
I was watching Super Size Me (2004) - an American documentary movie directed and starring by Morgan Spurlock, an American independent filmmaker - the first time that I saw your works. The situation cries out for a little culture jamming. They never wasted two cents publicizing that fact. McDonald’s spends billions of dollars telling you how great their food even though it’s actually quite unhealthy.
What do you criticize about them?īasically I am offering the other side of the story.
Except from Camel case that we’ve just considered, your work has many big targets such as McDonalds and Mickey Mouse. In fact you’re used to pirating billboard space by posting your own hand-painted designs over the existing ads. If they need money that bad they should rob a bank.Ĭulture jamming is absolutely one aspect of your work. I didn’t think a big company should be trying to sell cigarettes to kids. How did you come up with this idea and what was your purpose? It’s always been a passion, or for at least as long as I can remember.Īt the age of 22 you’ve started your own anti-ad campaign against Joe Camel (Old Joe), the advertising mascot for Camel cigarettes from 1987 to 1997. How old were you and how did you get closer to art for the first time in your life? Let’s do a little bit about your background.
