What makes these two drawings of Beavis and Butt-Head distinctive is artist Rick Parker's highly graphic depictions. Parker was the lead artist on Marvel’s adaptation of MTV’s iconic animated duo, whose crude, raunchy, dim-witted behavior made them pop-culture disruptors. In the present work, which consists of two separate drawings, he surrounds both subjects with their signature cackles and sneers. The typography part of the work projects off the page, becoming an abstract visual equivalent of sound. Like sheet music or cue cards, it prompts the viewer to act out Beavis and Butthead's vocalizations. Together as a pair, these drawings project a powerful, almost poster-like presence. Each is signed in the lower right-hand corner. Unframed. Not sold individually, only as a pair
