Final Project

For my final project that was concentrating on appropriation, I decided to do something very simple and recognizable. I took 90's cartoon characters and graphically reduced them in illustrator and then applied an Andy Warhol pop-art style to them. I think the Andy Warhol style is very recognizable and as are the cartoon characters I used. By appropriating both the style and the subject, I gave the viewer 2 different levels to connect on. I think my piece is within fair use rights because I'm not claiming to have illustrated the characters as my own, and I am not stating that my pop-art style is something that I came up with. I am giving credit to the original creators. My style of pop art is obviously not identical to that of Warhol's but it is highly suggestive of it.
