Disney Sucks (2024) Original Mixed-media Painting by Ross Hendrick

“Disney Sucks” is a bold, tongue-in-cheek street art parody featuring a world-weary, cigarette-smoking Mickey Mouse spray-painting the provocative phrase “Disney Sucks” across a graffiti-covered wall. His disillusioned expression gives the piece a raw, humorous, and slightly cynical look at pop culture, fame, and the icons we grew up with.

Created in mixed media with acrylic, spray paint, ink, textures, drips, and hand-drawn elements, this original artwork bursts with colour and street-art energy. Layers of graffiti tags and paint splashes build a gritty urban atmosphere, while the bright palette keeps the piece fun, rebellious, and full of personality.

Spray paint, acrylic and ink on canvas, 75 x 61 cm.
