Brent Nolasco custom Mickey Mouse for Mickey Brand Halo @ Times Square, HK (June 29)
CLICK THRU for still-images of Brent Nolasco's custom-Mickey Mouse (shown in above video) - completed for the Mickey Brand Halo show that is scheduled to launch June 29th @ Times Square, Hong Kong (exhibits thru August 2nd). The title of the custom is "Consumption".
BRENT NOLASCO: The way I went about this custom was to have my characters slowy consuming Mickey. As they take over his body, Mickey begins to morph into one of them. He no longer has control of his body and mind.
TOYSREVIL: In the case of this custom, what does "Consumption" represent? = Public expectation? Dilution of appeal? The danger of piracy? etc
BRENT NOLASCO: "Consumption" In this case is to "Take Over" and "Control without Permission". There is no opportunity to make decision to alter your destiny from the take over.
TOYSREVIL: As we are all consumed by our collective desires, so too whatever we take for granted, IMHO.
