CONTRL_ALT_TIC 2010/2020
80 X 100 cm Acrylic and spray paints on canvas

When, some years ago, the music industry was up in arms about publishing rights (but mainly record sales), vis-a-vis illegal download sites, there were people countering their worries by claiming that taping didn't kill music in the 80's and 90's. Now, some years later, there is a new worry: Apps such as TikTok, and other streaming sites have a grasp on the way music is consumed. This time it will not kill music either, it will only kill the quality of music.

120 X 80 cm Acrylic paint on canvas

The Bambi-like figure is somewhat confused. He exclaims:”Oh boy, I'm gonna be a real boy!”. However, most people will know that is not correct, that it is a quote from another animated film: Pinocchio. Donald Duck has got nothing to do with it, that is why he got crossed over. The artist often feels like that too: as if he is been drawn in the wrong cartoon.
