media parody

Parody targeting the Cosmopolitan readership:

This parody was inspired by

  • the quality paintings and ideas in the ‘Gallery of the Absurd‘, 
  • the thought provoking essays of Twisty, 
  • one among many offensive Magazine covers,
  • People who made witty observations when listening to me rant about the magazine,  e.g. piehole, coalandice.
  • LooSea being treated, gave me unanticipated time at home.  
  • my Mum for not allowing ‘those magazines that print nothing but rubbish‘ in the house (Cosmopolitan in the 1970’s).
  • painting is focussing, relaxing, and cheap self-entertainment.

The original painting is available to the first person that sends me realistic details on how to deliver it to them.

Given my paint-skill levels,  this was the wrong media, medium, for a magazine cover parody.  I needed either a steady hand or a good stencil to paint small text to effectively mimic the standards of mass-printing production.  I have neither a steady hand nor the patience to create a stencil or imagination to purchase one.  This project would have been more effectively executed if I’d planned to use magazine covers to create a collage or software to design something very precise. I’ll know better next time when I pluck up the courage,  like the Cultfigurine, to venture inside the magazine….
