Super Mario Satire Super Pedro - Acrylic on Paper 29x40 cm

Super Pedro is heavily inspired from an illustration from Cristian Pérez Bolton. In his illustration there is this crazy kid yelling to a decapitated Santa, angy at him because he got a Polistation instead of an Xbox 360. The Polistation was a popular video game console in the 90', a cheap alternative to the NES but that looked like the Sony Playstation.
In the illustration he drew a Super Mario look-alike on the Polistation box that he named Super Pedro. I laughed so hard when i saw it, just because it looked so bad and cheap.
So one day I started to sketch different Marios until it got more and more R-rated.

One of the first things that I had in mind was that this would be a pirated version of the original, so instead of having racoon ears and tail, it would be from a rat. The penis nose and face came from a combination from a Ren & Stimpy episode and the movie Nothing but Trouble with Dan Aykroyd, where in both of them a very disgusting character had a penis for a nose.

The original sketch represented a horny Mario, very perverted, with an erection under his pants. It was not include in the final work because it felt too unnecessary and bloated, although it looked funny.
