| Inspired
by early 20's comics like George Herriman ' s " Krazy Kat ",
the Art Deco style with their " machine era feeling
". And
some " retro -
geek -
elements " from the 70's like the arrival of
devices with
the
revolutionary 8 bits computer processor with its social high
impact, I have created these retro - comix oil on canvas
paintings. All
this could be a tribute for the old cartoon world
showed by
my old black and white TV from my childhood and of course my first
computer...the amazing Atari 800 !
