As most art projects do, this one began to take on a life of it's own through the course of its life cycle. What was originally intended as an injection of sin into worlds untouched by violence and vice became an exploration of boundaries; what is acceptable to comment on in this cartoon context? One main parameter I had set in the beginning of this project remained intact--the fact that I drove myself to create "darkly humourous" imagery. Upon showing the class my final prints the consensus seemed torn between laughing at them and reporting me to Megan's Law. Ultimately this is the kind of uncomfortable environment I had sought all along, so in that vein I believe the project was a success.
Now that the dust has settled, I am free to share the less dark and more humorous rejects from the project. Enjoy a cheap thrill!
