Todd Schorr

I recently stumbled onto the artwork of Todd Schorr, and I must say I really, really like it. What can only be described as twisted cartoon art, Schorr's creations embody what I imagine as being the anti-Disney. What could have been a cute, innocent cartoon is transformed into one resembling a cartoon dystopia: the bright colours and cartoon characters are present, but the characters themselves, the way they look, and the actions undertaken are very sinister. While one could read further into the messages his pieces convey (possibly including criticisms of consumerism and organised religion), I must admit I really just enjoy them for what they are - a very individual style of art.
