Personal piece for fun. The first in a slew of Gaming illustrations I did. This had a brief moment in the limelight on well known gaming website Kotaku.
I found it hilarious that people were offended by this. Which made me think, 'don't be ridiculous. I can be much more offensive than that.' Seriously though, it's a parody piece about outsourcing and I thought it was a clever way to show it. Please, don't actually create an arcade machine powered by child slave labor.
I'm really curious about the actual idea/message behind it, your version. I come from a country where people (especially programmers) are contracted for outsourcing. You seem to imply there's some sort of exploitation going on, but that's simply not the case. What counts as a meager salary in the US is a decent sum in Eastern Europe, for instance. The only country that's actually harmed by this is the one that outsources, not the little "slave" inside the arcade machine That's why I feel the drawing's a bit misguided (though the concept's interesting for sure).
again, you've made the message clear... and let's face it... if art is not offensive to some, is it really doing it's job? Well done! I love the way you think!
Well done!
