Pop Culture Propaganda Pictures

"Max Papeschi Uses Politically Incorrect Art to Breed Controversey When it comes to the digital artworks of Max Papeschi, there is no beating around the bush. Bold, shocking and politically incorrect in every sense of the word, his unconventional statement pieces breed both controversy and thought simultaneously. Using the cult icons of major corporations from Ronald McDonald to Mickey Mouse, Papeschi alters these familiar characters and images to reflect what he perceives as the harsh realities of the world. He is among many who believe these realities are often overshadowed by the mass cultural consumerism these companies represent."
