"Goin' Postal" – Edition of 11, Sold Out on OBJKT
‘Goin' Postal’ is a whimsical departure from my typically serious and emotional art, offering a humorous reflection on the skepticism that surrounded the rise of the internet in the 1990s. Inspired by a now-iconic 1995 exchange between David Letterman and Bill Gates—where Letterman ridiculed the necessity of computers—this piece captures the tension of a world on the brink of technological transformation.
At the heart of the artwork is a disgruntled mail carrier who rebels against the chaos of delivering physical mail by wreaking havoc on a computer store. The piece imagines this character turning to the very tool that was once doubted—email—as a form of ironic revenge. Through this scenario, ‘Goin' Postal’ blends humor with social commentary, shining a light on how technology has reshaped communication and everyday life.
Unlike my usual works that explore profound emotional themes, this piece embraces a tongue-in-cheek critique of society's early resistance to change. The mail carrier’s antics highlight the absurdity of the time when computers and the internet were seen as unreliable or unnecessary.
‘Goin' Postal’ is a reminder that art can be both meaningful and playful, using humor to explore the evolving relationship between technology and humanity. Its lighthearted approach invites viewers to reflect on how far we’ve come while appreciating the creativity that can emerge from even the most skeptical moments in history.

Step into Satirical Inferno, where childhood innocence collides with the chaos of adulthood. Created by Surreal24seven, this piece features a large woman made from paper mache at its center. Her intense gaze pulls us into the narrative of transformation, as behind her, childhood icons like Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and Donald Duck are depicted in stark white—stripped of their usual colors. These familiar characters now engage in adult behaviors: Donald smoking weed, Minnie and Mickey drinking, surrounded by cash and guns. The contrast highlights how childhood ideals are reshaped by the adult world.
