Artist Takesha Murata likes to datamosh. He also likes Popeye, the stroke-voiced, spinach-addicted cartoon folk hero of yore. So, he made a fancy, six minute CGI adventure I, Popeye (2010). As far stills tell, it’s a slick, grim (Grimm?) tale of Olive loss, clock smashing, industrialization and presumably, suicide. It’s also breaking the copyright law. Double-wammy to your childhood! “Free,” Group Show, Oct 20 – Jan 23, New Museum


























Copyright for Popeye expired last year…. I'm working on an animated porn featuring Bluto. I specialize in Childrens Erotic Literature.
It expired in 2009 in Europe. It's still under copyright in the US through 2024. And also: ew.
No no no… It's Erotic Literature FOR children, not about them! That would be gross.
