(3.40 - 150 votes)About Kenyon:
Kenyon is a graphic artist living in the suburbs of Philadelphia. He works as a graphic designer, illustrator, and is also the co-founder/owner of streetwear label Future Relic.
Kenyon’s work can best be described as graphic satire. From social and political commentary to pop-culture subvertising, each piece is laced with a polluted sense of humor and sarcastic wit bordering on offensive.
Kenyon adopted potty humor and sarcasm rather naturally and learned how to attract attention at an early age. A natural born wise ass, he practiced using filthy words in Mad Libs and scrawling lewd drawings onto bathroom walls.
Prohibited from watching R rated films and listening to music with Parental Advisory stickers, Kenyon naturally indulged in both. Graphic horror movies and raunchy comedies helped nurture a perverse sense of humor, while subversive punk rock and explicit gangsta rap encouraged an adolescent distaste for authority.
As he developed his artistic ability to provoke reactions, he discovered his audience divide based on their sense of humor. Therefore, defining this liminal space and exploiting its ambiguous boundaries between funny and offensive has become his objective.

Chris, Iâ??m bemused by your excoriation of this work. It must clearly be a result of your narrow and obtuse understanding of the world in which we live in. Among other things, this work is highly creative, fresh and relevant. Obesity is an epidemic in this country and the print is very poignant in expressing one of the major underlying causes to this epidemic. If you canâ??t keep your critiques constructive I suggest you take your insolence elsewhere.

Relevant, timely and clever. Really great stuff.

Wow. This is just terrible art–completely pseudo-political, but with nothing new or creative to say about it. “Grrrr, McDonalds is so horrible!” Oh boo hoo. If you don’t like it, or America, do eat there, or live here. You are pathetic.

This is GREAT! I love it!

I rated low because I find the illustration that quotes the shooting highly problematic and unethical. Besides that I like the graphic style and political commenting.

A lot like Banksy, but not anonymous and more commercial. Interesting concepts.

Seriously in bad taste.
