Everyone's favorite Disney rodent as a “stained-glass” vinyl toy
Artist David Flores takes his signature “stained-glass” painting techniques and applies it to Disney’s favorite mouse, Mickey. Flores created a visually striking 10” statue of Mickey but with the minor change of replacing Mickey’s head with that of totenkopf symbol. The totenkopf is a German symbol of death, and makes the usually jolly Mickey Mouse somewhat intimidating. Flores utilizes his talent in segmenting colors and shapes to create unique designs to produce renewed images of pop culture icons. Flores’s reimagining of James Dean, Marilyn Monroe and other cultural influences are on display at the Phil Stern Gallery. Check out more of Flore’s pop art here.
