Just when I think I have seen it all from Kid Krishna, he comes up with this delicious piece in Cumberland Basin. Normally his letters, albeit cryptic, spell out CRIE, but I am not sure whether that is the case here – it might be a KRIE variant. Although the writing is a bit busy, it is calmer and cleaner than some of his more recent pieces.

Thee star of this piece, in my view, is the Mickey Mouse character standing to the left. It isn’t enough for Kid Krishna to paint a conventional flat Mickey Mouse, no, he has painted a deliberately blurred three-dimensional character wearing a cap and with half a skull across Mickey’s face. There is something weird going on with the shorts, with what looks like holes and a fiery furnace behind. Brilliant stuff from the artist who simply doesn’t stop.
