This Jack Kirby X Jackson Pollock mashup was part of a series I shopped together for kicks. A big art account swiped it on Twitter (which is fine, I don’t own either of the respective pieces, I just smooshed them together) but it stirred up a bunch of controversy from purists. 🤭 - ThreadSky

That's really cool, and also absolutely the sort of shit Kirby was into.

onebigmultiverse.bsky.social•77 days ago

Thanks, yeah, I think that’s why it works so well together.

kiddocut.bsky.social•77 days ago

I've seen it floating around, didn't know it was your mashup, but it's very clever. Into that clash of artistic worlds.

onebigmultiverse.bsky.social•77 days ago

Yep, that was me. I read whatever particular issue of FF that came from, and a short time later was looking at that Pollock in an art book and I thought, wait a minute… 🤔

kiddocut.bsky.social•77 days ago

I never understood the controversy considering Tumblr has been on edit fandom culture for years-but it's also like, really in tune with Kirby's vibe and look.

onebigmultiverse.bsky.social•77 days ago

I think the major problem is that the “Jack Kirby” account was posting it without any commentary stating that it was equally a Pollock. Of course they still got like a million likes, while my post got like 20 lol

kiddocut.bsky.social•77 days ago

You're right though-this is a great way to like...showcase influence both directions. Love to see some Bruno Premiani or Ross Andru and what They'd be stacked up against!

onebigmultiverse.bsky.social•77 days ago

I know I did an Andru Spider-Man mashed up with something…

If I ever find it, I’ll post it here.

onebigmultiverse.bsky.social•77 days ago

Here’s a few more I could find. There’s others floating around out there somewhere.

John Paul Leon + Kenneth Noland

Steve Ditko + Wassily Kandinsky

Steve Ditko + Fernand Léger

johnlk.bsky.social•77 days ago

ooh, the Speedball/Kandinsky one is cool too.

onebigmultiverse.bsky.social•77 days ago

Particularly fond of that one myself.

johnlk.bsky.social•77 days ago

Ditko Doctor Strange feels like it would be particularly fertile for this sort of thing. Also Steranko.

onebigmultiverse.bsky.social•77 days ago

I did do a Ditko Strange mashup. It’s somewhere in my Twitter feed along with a handful of others. I’ll post them once I uncover them. Don’t think I ever did a Steranko, but that’s a good idea.

kiddocut.bsky.social•77 days ago

these go so fucking hard, wtf?

kiddocut.bsky.social•77 days ago

Ditko, my problematic darling

onebigmultiverse.bsky.social•77 days ago

Right? lol. I was day drinking and listening to jazz that day, so I dove headfirst into it.
