HEY APATHY! Alternative Comics
As the monstrous metropolis spins infinitely around the cenrtifugal eyeball of thoughts and consciousness, a diabolic business Demi-God perpetually attempts to corrupt the routines for reasons we could never understand. Seeping technological tentacles from his mechanically exposed cranium the villain aggressively annihilates, assimilates, and hypnotically intervenes with the lives of the citizens. His powerful influence knows no bounds. Terrorizing the young and old alike, the mass homogenization threatens even those apparently unaware. One such unsuspecting individual resides within a large billboard advertisement. Losing his head for a moment, the individual quickly grasps the top half and returns it to it's proper place. Unfortunetly, during that brief euphoric and headless state, a dripping mechanized eel-type creature quickly made it's way into the victims psyche. The SNEAK, a vicious minion of the Corporate Deity, has infiltrated yet another mind!
This 20 x 30 inch HEY APATHY! Pen and ink drawing was made out on Queen Street West during my street art performances. Throughout the busy summer seasons I would do all sorts of crazy rapid live monster paintings. The character of the business demi-god first appeared in one of these spontaneous creations. Inspired by the rapidly increasing appearance of hand held devices, ear phones, head sets, and the corresponding zombie walk, I developed the villainous figure as an embodiment of the technological terrors. At the end of the tourist season, I would usually stop doing live drawings and sit back in the beautiful early fall sunshine to work on more sustained versions of the performance based ideations splattered across the sidewalk throughout the hot summer days. This ink drawing took about three days to complete and was the first detailed depiction of this mass mediator and evil assimilator. lots more unusual art at http://www.heyapathy-comics-art.com/
