Jaksta is the best caricature street artist around, and on his birthday he painted this wonderful piece opposite a collaboration (already posted) with Ryder created on the same day. The cartoon character is Donkey Kong, from the Mario Brothers video games stable. The DK on the tie has been changed to NK, although I don’t know the significance of these letters.

The piece itself is a loyal reproduction of the gorilla character, complete with a barrel over his shoulder. What is quite funny is that in spite of being a superb caricature artist, Jaksta hasn’t done a caricature of Donkey Kong, instead keeping him as he is represented in the video games. Nonetheless, this is a fine birthday piece from Jaksta.

I am Stephen. I live in Bristol, UK. I decided to shorten my profile...to this: Wildlife, haiku, travel, streetart, psychogeography and my family. Not necessarily in that order.
