Thrift Store Collage

Portraits of pets are, to me, one of the most kitsch and tacky forms of art. Naruto is an anime series that I think has reached that same level of kitsch but in the animation world. It quickly shot to the position of most popular anime and the anime community was oversaturated with the constant image of this blonde spiky haired goofball. My aim of the project was to take a tacky pet portrait and turn the background into a collage of the face of the titular character of Naruto. In doing this I just was trying to present two different forms of kitsch in one.
