In this iteration, the artist has fused two together in a way that is clearly inciting of discomfort or displeasure—based on the frowns depicted on the face—to the characters now sharing one body. The overall effect of the image calls into question the agency of the artist and the life of art outside of its creation. With cartoons, for instance, iconography can grow so far beyond its initial inception that to return such an image to the whims of the artist as art, rather than as popular culture, there is a type of exchange of cultural capital that such a work would have to undergo. Kagami knows this well and factors it into his humorous creations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eScreen print on Royal Sundance felt ultra white 320M paper\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePrinted in USA\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e10% of your purchase helps fund art classes for kids\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/theposters.co\/collections\/ken-kagami\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eRead more about Ken here\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ken Kagami","offers":[{"title":"______ \/ None","offer_id":34349586182,"sku":"126","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"______ \/ White Gallery","offer_id":34350361734,"sku":"127","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"______ \/ Black Gallery","offer_id":34350361862,"sku":"128","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"______ \/ White Shadowbox","offer_id":34350361926,"sku":"129","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"______ \/ Black Shadowbox","offer_id":34350362054,"sku":"130","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0639\/4977\/products\/THEPOSTER_KENKAGAMI_main.jpg?v=1484783470","url":"https:\/\/www.the-posters.com\/products\/screen-print-2017","provider":"THE POSTERS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
