“Barney vs Blobby”
Size: 810 x 525mm
Media: Acrylic on print
Price: $492
Maybe its the clashing colours, maybe it’s an inter-generational rivalry, but Barney and Mr. Blobby have had beef for years. What started out as dropping dis-tracks on each other escalated to a full-on brawl in front of a benefit gig at Lake Pukaki. Children and adults looked on in horror as their favourite childhood mascots traded blows until police arrived and arrested them both.
Painting measures 810 x 525 mm and is a second-hand print that I have adorned with my own style and humour. Paintings and frames are in second-hand condition so may have marks or dents but are generally in good condition and ready to hang.
Since 2012 I have been adding my spin on those old op-shop prints that no one wants. I see it as re-interpreting a scene that someone else has setup, telling the punch-line to a joke, giving a tired print a new lease of life. Many of the paintings can also be purchased as prints.
