The Real Thing
My entry in to Weekend T-Shirt Challenge
In the future the corporations will be running the world, instead of governments. For example: the USA maybe renamed “Coca-Cola”, Australia “Burger King”. Thus the corporations will also be at war with each other – like proper physical warfare with real weapons (the Cola Wars we have now are soft in comparison).
Perhaps the person depicted here was not towing the party line, works for a rival cola company/country, was a corporate spy, or just showed up to work late…
Oh, and it seems people 250 years in the future have lost their genitals too!

Vinko – this is so very, very cool! Apart from the genitals bit. Love the description!
Vinko replied
Thanks Natalie. I think genitalia become like caudal appendages in the future – pretty much useless with advances in genetic technology. Sex still sells- just no-one can do it anymore…

this is brilliant. perhaps its better that we cannot breed if it has come to the scenario you have just explained….
Vinko replied
Thanks jlbt. Yes – it’s a bleak future I’m painting but hopefully there are some optomists out there who upload some rainbow happy future scenarios for this challenge…

red black and white, always a great combo…hope we don’t all look like this poor unfortunate
Vinko replied
Hope your note referring to the Saints (red, black & white), but they do go well together – the colours that is. Cheers.

So, Coke shrinks your…
Vinko replied
Yes, according to a recent little-known study. It also mutates cockroaches into gigantic monsters that could eventually take over the world… Cheers, and keep up the good work!

Vinko replied
Thanks nofrills. My first attempt at mixing Illustrator and Photoshop. Just wish I had a Wacom tablet. Airbrushing is hard with a bloody mouse…

Hi there. I have come accross your work a couple of times now and really like your stuff. Its pleasing to look at and captures my interest in a very unconventional and unique way. Real art going on here – congrats!

Hey zomboy. Thats just about the nicest bestest comment I’ve ever gotten. Thanks heaps! Glad you’re enjoying my artwork. I must say I’m enjoying yours at the moment too. Congrats on the featured tees – 2 tees in a row? That pretty cool. When I have more time I’ll make some comments and stuff on your work. Thanks!

Cool! I like how Coke are now promoting themselves as being all loved up. Gives rise to the option (in a beta world presumably) that there is a hateful version! This might just be it! :)
Nice work!
