Another one of my really talented friends has inspired me to post. He goes to art school and has painted societal commentary in bright, colorful, creative ways. I think it’s brilliant and that is his passion.
What has gotten him national attention is a thing he did for fun that he sent to a group of us for Halloween. He spliced the Mary Poppins into a horror movie trailer. “Scary Mary" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2T5_0AGdFic, became a youtube hit, Disney responded on a blog, it was on Best Week Ever and on Christmas Eve I open a US Today to read about the “creator”. If you Google, “Scary Mary” you will find a million sights signing the clip's and the artists praises. My hope is one day his more meaningful work is as highly praised and widely accepted.

I absolutely adore the pictures you linked to your post. I definitely try not to get too into myself for enjoying "socially relevant art" but these pieces definitely accomplish having both a real message and humor at the same time, not to mention a unique style. I didn't really know what to expect from the "Scary Mary" link, but it was hilarious! I had not ever had any exposure to this clip before, so I'm definitely glad you posted all of this.
