I've gone into an artistic overload these days, can't wait to get back home and start drawing ! Aaaaanyway this is one was based on one of my notebook sketches ( i have vowed to make a nice big drawing of most of my notebook sketches). The idea was actually inspired by a painting i saw from a contributor to the totoro forest project for which i have to find the site again. I'm not gonna go into details on what is wrong with it, i am quite aware of the flaws and i'm not gonna nag about them here because i'm actually quite proud of this one. It kinda feels as a political comic but i guess it can be more general than that. I've also worked a lot on its symbolism but i will leave it up to you to find them !
It's an interesting commentary on how one is often being played as a puppet by the corporations and in the workplace, which, in turn, leads to one not ever being in control of their own lives!
Maybe it's an example of the way corporate and political America view us,the people. Money and power have a way of skewing ones values.A disconnection I think.In a sense we are,tho' unintentionally sometimes,thought of as puppets or pawns. Very cool. Very well done.
Thank you ! The truth is the thought sprouted after reading newspapers and articles of how American ( of course not only) politicians and major cooperations work to take us, the common people, on their side and use us as puppets.
