If you grew up in the 80s, then Paper Rad’s work will hold a special place in your heart. The three-piece art collective toys with nostalgic images from pop culture past, producing some obscenely colorful and hypnotic pieces of art. Their lo-fi, rainbow-colored projects — ranging from paintings, videos, web sites, installations, and music — have garnered worldwide attention…and how could they not? I mean, imagine: Trollz, Mr. Kool-aid head, Garfield, Alf, and the California Raisins all hanging out together in a Day-glo world of FUN! A 10-year-old’s fantasy… or nightmare?
On April 1st, their new comic book, Cartoon Workshop/Pig Tales digest, comes out. The tiny paperback offers tons of oddball storylines and equally oddball graphics.
And if this tickles your fancy, then definitely check out the Paper Rad DVD, Taking out the Trash/Faces in the Trash.
