A generation of talented graphic
designers and artists have
created many an image accepted and loved by society. It is a new generation of designers
and artists who have come along with the same appreciation
for art, however, they view this art
with a satirical eye, seeing potential in every piece. The Pieter Dirk Uys and Zapiro
of the graphic parody world!
No work of art, no
matter how old or sacred is safe from being altered and poked fun
at. That’s great!
In theory a parody is a mocking of
something, which should make it a negative thing, right? Wrong! For someone to
take their time to alter your original artwork idea for
comical effect is a compliment towards your work. It’s admitting that they
think that your creation is significant enough for people to appreciate an
alternate view of it.
Graphic designer WolFox created the Simpsons parody eSempowenis which has proved to be one of
the most sought after Springleap.com T-shirt designs.
I think that more artists should put on a pair of parody goggles, get designing
and share their efforts with the world!
Below are a few creations that caught my
eye. What is the best graphic parody that you have seen?
