THIS IS THE BOMB! We've seen some credible pieces from our friend on the other side of the globe (Romania), but this is (Oasim) Karmieh's swansong thusfar. It's 'Adulthood' and like the song goes "they dropped a bomb on me, baby, they dropped a bomb on me"! In a very limited (as always) edition of only fifteen pieces this time, the full-on mayhem hath flown for the very last time. This is surely a statement piece, as in a single action the artist has brought down the hopes and dreams of a million plus one lovers of Donald Duck everywhere. Clever, sardonic, we love it. Mind you, the feathered friend's identity is squarely covered, and then some. This 6" x 8" art toy is skillfully handmade through and through and will ship come January. The hat, bomb, limbs and duck are all removable. I'm crossing my webbed fingers that we might abscond with one of these gems to review up close and personal. In the age of Brexit and Trump let's keep sarcasm alive and well, despite the access to big bright red buttons. For $189 bux, get flappin'.....
