Alfred Steiner

In running a graphic design agency, we get to see a lot of illustration and it sometimes surprises me that we don’t feature so much of it here.

…maybe it is just because we so much that it’s difficult to find something that really stands out; whether that be because the quality is just at some altogether different level, or whether it’s simply is that distinctive compared to the rest.

Maybe Alfred Steiner fits into that category.In his watercolour and pen work, artist Alred Steiner becomes a sick and twisted surgeon, turning all manner of body parts, animals and objects – such as penises, space craft, turds, strawberries and camels – into beautiful but rather disturbing renderings of memorable and famous cartoon characters such as Maggie Simpson, Yosemite Sam, Mickey Mouse, and Kenny McCormick. By blending vaginas and other parts of the body into the mix, Steiner forces us to accept the things that popular culture often hides and tries to forget about.
