Did these a few months ago as part of our Viget Design Mob series. More here.
My thoughts: I am an avid fan of both mustaches and the CSA archive, so the most logical next step was to combine the two of them into a homage/poke at designer pop culture. In an age of over saturation in all avenues of media, I thought it was fitting to give these commercially iconic faces a little twist of satirical humor (and, in turn, also poking fun at myself for being part of this profession). At the same time, I also wanted to incorporate the question of re-purposing art in the vain of Bansky and other artists who resuscitate tired works. When imagery reaches the breaking point of saturation and spill over into the tank of low-culture kitsch, who really owns the art?
