Don’t tread on my cupcake, don’t even think about it.<\/p>\n

time to lighten up, world.<\/p>\n

though still thinking on . . “BIG EYES”.
\nthe Margaret Keane story as told by Tim BURTON, posting – next !!
\nvive les femmes !!
\nturns out a woman was behind it all, from the get go. wouldn’t you just know it.
\nand don’t tell me those once re-viled and de-rided Big Eyes, don’t . . have legs !!
\nthose Big Eyes just keep on going, esp even more so, in the Digital Computer Age.<\/p>\n

anyway.
\nfor sure, when I see . . “everything is forgiven” ?? because here in NYC – apparently we don’t<\/strong> forget – the downed World Trade Towers, still showing up in our made-for-tourists – street art !!
\na long decade . . after the fact.
\nand for sure, when I see international female world leaders photo-shopped out of national news coverage, because JE SUIS FEMME !!
\nI’m like, time . . to turn the record over, politics is so B-O-R-I-N-G.
\nred rover red rover, let the cutting edge ARTISTS . . come over !!<\/p>\n

nothing like a little neo-hippie, sweet forest artistry to make a point – it’s a big world – out there, dudes. show some RESPECT for life. love, thought, and . . wisdom.
\nin a word: the future.<\/p>\n

Australian artist JACKIE CASE, that means . . YOU !!
\nhere’s to some well-drawn . . thinking.
\nnot to mention: BIG EYES !!
\nwelcome to NYC !! <\/p>\n

\nJAN 14 – FEB 1, 2015
\nREBECCA HOSSACK<\/a> GALLERY – 262 MOTT ST, NYC.<\/p>\n

more: about the artist & the exhibit<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nJACKIE CASE, ‘Song Bird’, 2014. graphite on paper.
\n8-5\/8 x 10-5\/8 x 1-5\/8 in.
\ntalkin . . new age tech meets old school forest wisdom, crafts, and s-k-i-l-l-s.
\nand lives – to tell the story.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nJACKIE CASE, ‘IVY’, 2014. graphite on paper.
\n8-5\/8 x 10-5\/8 x 1-5\/8 in.
\ntalkin’ . . BIG EYES – !!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nJACKIE CASE, ‘Don’t Even Think About It’, 2014. graphite on paper.
\n8-5\/8 x 10-5\/8 x 1-5\/8 in.
\ntalkin’ about: don’t tread on MY CUPCAKE – ALL YOU DAMN, DUMB DUDES of the so-called world !!
\ndon’t even think about it.
\ntalkin: strong fist in a very – pretty package !!<\/p>\n

yes . . powerful messages, do come in small, sweet – packages.
\nancient proverb. new age package.<\/p>\n

and no, I would not<\/strong> classify this, if pushed – as ‘cartoon’ art per se, more along the lines of graphic illustration, which should not be considered . . demeaning at all. s-k-i-l-l-s.
\nit’s a big art world out there, and we don’t need to fight about ‘intangible’ boundaries, and definitions.
\nthough, if you consider the work of ANDERS NILSEN<\/a>, long considered a very acclaimed contemporary cartoonist, and graphic novelist, and if you factor in that the the works of JACKIE CASE pack a a strong, non-verbal ‘message’ . . then, guess what: yes, cartoon art – on the very uber, graphic, detailed realist range ?<\/p>\n

and<\/em>, of course: VIVE . . LES FEMMES !!<\/p>\n
