It's A Crüel World After All

It’s A Cruel World After All! collection aka The Ub-Team is a diabolical anthology combining urban street-art aesthetics, vintage comic book nostalgia, and roughly 50 characters in the vein of old school animation development tactics. A massive collection with 60+ hand painted works, wood cut installations, screen prints and limited edition apparel paying tribute to the original animated character creator of all time UB Iwerks. Exploring the way one man imports the concepts of another for IP Rights not wholly unique. A Cruel World seeks to comment about pervasive archetypal commercial socialization of a major corporation and how American capitalism and consumer culture spread worldwide fueled by slavish factories in the Far East. Any popular commercialized Americana can be exploited and those who toil unfairly to keep the machine running are also exploited. It is the parody of the creator to share the creation of identity ubiquitously. An exhibition with a nature of nostalgia coalesced with the spirit of animated goons, creeps, vixens, villains, and fuzzy creatures.
