hiyo guys
long time since I uploaded some of my stuff for school

assignment was making a series of small comics that used an element from a well known person (any element)

this is what I made, tell me what you think

oh and I know the font is really small but its gonna be printed on near A3 size so that wont be a prob

+ Show Spoiler +

Its actually satire, something which I deliberately kept sort of hidden at first glance

..but you dont get whats going on

I know. But I'm convinced none of you actually tried hard enough! Think of it as a visual puzzle. The pieces are all given to you through symbols and objective information.

I'll give an example: the creature that is described in the second and third image. It has nuclear power. And look at its brain, does it not strike you as oddly similar to something?

Granted that this comic takes a lot of outside knowledge. I just wanted to make something thats not one-dimensional and instantly 'gotten'.

Everything is grotesque, and I don't get what your satirizing, but the quality is nice :D

I feel like:

Seriously, lol, I don't get it. But I'm intrigued to know what it is about.

+ Show Spoiler [probably stupid guess] +

does it have anything to do with our "brain" and the "dna"?

hmm... my mind goes to a few different directions but I'm afraid of making a fool of myself, so I'll just wait for others to get it first and then say "I KNEW IT!!" :p

+ Show Spoiler [my guess] +

Well, that picture has thrown me off a bit so I'll post up my original guess. Actually it's more interpretation of a couple of the pictures.

Pic #5: Oil in the middle-east/Iraq?

Pic #6: The beast is the USA right? The head is the president, since 1461 days comes to roughly 4 years. I like the artwork for the shed heads; sort of like that mountain with the faces of past presidents on it, or a row of busts.

Pic #7/#8: The USA as the flying beast maintaining a "watchful eye" and some middle-eastern country supplying it with "propellant" (oil).

I dunno. I'm having trouble with some of the pics, and pulling it all together into one concept.

go ahead!
actually this entire comic is supposed to thrive off of different interpretations

its like maurizio cattelan said
“Whatever comes after you’ve done your work, it doesn’t belong to you. You can’t control it. The work has to fight for itself and define itself.”

It seems like we get zoomed in pictures of Geronimo's face, which turns out to be full of little beasties. Mundo means world in spanish, so geronimundo is like geronimo's world

weird but cool
