Context

Like Andy Warhol, I used content that I hoped was familiar to almost all of my viewers. However, while Warhol used household objects and celebrities, I used Disney characters that I assumed everyone would immediately recognize. I rely on this recognition to create the humorous aspect of my work. Each character’s identity and story is a crucial part of my pictures. Just like Warhol’s message would have been different if instead of celebrities he used everyday people, my pictures would convey a very different meaning if unfamiliar characters were used.
