7 thoughts on “L.A. Madonna & Samurai Jack”

  1. Interesting coincidence. Either Genndy Tartakovsky musta known about the Madonna or both he & the Madonna’s artist based their work on the same source. I know that Samurai Jack frequently has quite a lot of references to various Japanese art styles. But I don’t think this image of Jack is meant to be a commentary.

  2. I think I can confidently say that neither artist was aware of the other, nor were they working from a common source.

    The essential basis for the comparison is that the L.A. Madonna artist chose an absurd style of dress and coiffure for Our Lady, not to mention a posture and facial attitude that, combined with said dress and hair, is at least as suggestive of Eastern mysticism as of Judeo-Christian contemplation and self-surrender.

  3. Eww . . . by LA Madonna do you mean that thing is in that new Cathedral?

    I hope I’m wrong!
