About the Artist
Bizarre cartoons are the specialty of Christopher Ian Macfarlane, a self-taught 30-something who works with vibrant color palettes in a rare, playful way.
Influenced by Looney Tunes cartoons and cubism a la Picasso, Macfarlane's murals are full of characters who look like they've gone mad, like a wolf riding a trash-can rocket, or a lady with a schoolmarmish hair bun and dress but a grotesque face. His work has been commissioned all over town at sites including Young at Art Museum, FATVillage, Respectable Street, and Broward College. In addition to his 2-D work, he's been experimenting with movable robot sculptures, like an "animatronic raccoon" and a "spaghetti mutant" with light-up devil eyes.
