Observations
The style combines brightly colored, flat graphic cartoon figures with extremely heavy black contour lines and simplified facial features. These clean comic forms are layered over a densely worked, tactile mixed-media ground of paint splatters, scrawled marks, currency imagery, patterns, and typography, producing a high-contrast collage effect.
