1xRUN Thru Interview
Cici N’est Pas Une Mickey Mouse by Shark Toof
1xRun: Tell us a little bit about this piece, is the original still for sale?
Shark Toof: These pieces are a spoof or mash up of pop icons distorting or vandalizing my Shark Toof profile shark icon. In contrast to a lot of the paintings you see where an artist is painting Mickey Mouse in their style, my paintings are more of a take over of my icon. Each take over is of the same Shark Toof profile shark, as the foundation, in every themed piece, creating a series. View original artwork from Shark Toof here.
1xRun: Was this piece part of a recent theme, series or show that you had? If so how did they fit into that given grouping?
Shark Toof: These pieces pioneered my wanting to mash up pop icons with my own shark icon. The mash up was more of a challenge than imagined.
