COAT OF SMILES, parody art of iconic symbols. A duck's hat, a mouse's ears and a smiling yellow button. Three iconic things brought together in one artwork.

StarDucks Design Work By Degrees

By this example (I showed the finished piece "birdish critter on horse" once before) a great inspiring key element was a sort of external component, a design driven clay figurine of a horse bought at a crafts shop while I was in Montevideo some months ago...


Btw, much more about the StarDucks project and its influences and thoughts behind will follow in the next issue of the GOmotion Magazine... (Cheers to Marta)
