The process has been quite fast because it was very clear what he wanted and transmit, and probably has been working with the one I had fun with both the creation of the field and with paint.
The title clearly reflects what was the main idea of the scene : The best fans of Mickey. Rats are animals that usually awaken quite dislike , disgust and even fear among the people, and are associated with poverty and "unhygienic " areas. Just the opposite happens with Mickey , a cute and adorable mouse that both children and adults hold dear, and is also a money maker . So it is normal for older fans of Mickey are conspecifics, wishing I could someday be treated and live a life as easy as Mickey.
Here you can see photos of the completed work from various views :
But as I said, apart from the main idea, there are other secondary and personal details I wanted to add. Some of them are:
- Despite being a scene clearly fantasy, I wanted to put him elements and historical details, because I like when they are related. Therefore, I wanted to make a connection between the main characters and other elements that can be found and the scene. As I said, the main thing is watching on television mice Mickey, but for example on the shelf found a comic that I own and what I liked: Maus, by Art Spiegelman. The connection of this element with the mice and the historical branch is given because in it we are told biography of Vladek Spiegelman, a survivor of the Nazi death camps Polish Jew, told through his son Art, a cartoonist . To do this, he draws Jews with head of rats, the Nazis with heads of cats, and the Poles pigs heads.
- The comic is related to the soldier photo. This soldier is Werner
Goldberg, who in 1939, a Berlin newspaper called it "the ideal German
soldier" because of his discipline. He even used his photo in
recruitment campaigns for the Nazi army. But in 1940 he was expelled to
discover that the considered ideal German soldier was really Jewish.
- Finally, the photo is associated with the image of Mickey on TV, and
theories abound accused Walt Disney of being a Nazi in the shade. One of
the "evidence" to which reference is less often performed to support
the theory of their political inclination toward Nazism, is the movie
starring Mickey Mouse 1932 The Wayward Canary where you could see in the
house of Mickey Mouse himself a lighter with a swastika. Although
circumstantial, the reality is that the film was released in November
1932, right between The seventh and eighth Parliamentary Elections in
Germany, elections who saw Hitler came to the power.
Apart from this, I have added other details, but said earlier have a more personal meaning and therefore do not think important to discuss.
I think in the end it has been a pretty scene, and different from what we usually see and do. Hope you like it.
