Trojan Horse.
Studio visit with nice guy artist Tom Otterness.
Did you hear that? It was the sound of the last big cartoony shoe dropping in my mind.
Hearing Tom Otterness talk about his work, I finally and totally caved in. I was always a little afraid of going all the way with my liking of his sculptures, but he's one subversive dude, and the truth is I like the work. I like his abuse and adulation of the cartoon form. I like how he puts anti-capitalistic ideas into the heads of children and helpless adults. I like the bronze. Mad stealth, right out in public.
