| Mickey to Tiki Tu Meke |
This sketch is a transformation of Mickey Mouse to a tiki, It is designed by a artist named Dick Frizzell. It is called Mickey To Tiki Tu Meke. Dick Frizzell is a famous New Zealand artist who grow up barefoot in Hawkes Bay.
This piece of art starts out as Mickey Mouse then transforms in six steps into a Tiki. A tiki is something that is kiwiana and is often on a necklace. There is a reversed version of this art that is Tiki To Mickey
The art tells us that there are similarities between NZ and Disney character. I like this art because it is clever how he transforms one thing into another. I chose this because it is one of my favourites from him.
Being happy and serious at the same time is something I find unique about it. It is special to me because it was made by someone that went to the same school as me. And I believe I could do it too, with a little practice that is.
