But there's whimsy in even his raunchiest illustrations. In the poster above of a man abducting a woman, there's something playful in the pointed, heeled feet of the male abductor. Besides, she's giving a thumb's up so it's probably consensual, anyway. The exhibition poster is similar in its mix of levity, kitsch and camp; The musician is singing and playing happily even though his right foot has been cut off and is dripping blood, a motif that Parra repeats throughout the poster's text.
Weirded Out runs from March 31–July 29, 2012. If you can't make it you can always buy one of his designs on a T-shirt or gym bag in his shop.
