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.

The Duck On The Wire

This is a piece I already posted here but since a couple of Nemo Academy students came to me with prints of it asking me to sign recently, I thought I give it a repost. BTW, two of them (Arianna Pisani and Ferdinando Batistini) were so kind and sent me pics (see below) of where they put the piece, directly on the walls over their animation desks.

Repost alarm!

Reference Piece

Another great production still from the 1970s, Richard Chamberlain in Peter Weir's "The Last Wave" (1977).
