Basically Mario Kart only instead of Mario it’s Barry off Eastenders and instead of the other Mario characters it’s everyone off Eastenders and the whole picture has a vaguely tragic aura.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePainted in October 2018\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRequested by Joseph Payne\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI have painted so much Eastenders stuff over the years despite having never watched more than a few minutes here and there by accident. It is because I am obsessed with the aesthetic. Especially that of the era I came of age. It represents something more than the generally unpleasant experience of watching the show. It is the dourness and discontentment of British life exaggerated into cartoonish excess and played out by characters every bit as iconic and eternal as Bowser, Princess Peach etc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI was also obsessed with the aesthetic of Mario long before I played my first Mario game. I would see him in a Happy Meal or in the form of an ice lolly and he held a certain magic over me in that way pop-culture icons hold sway over the uninitiated. In many ways, as fun as the games were, the Mario I eventually got to know was a let down by comparison. The same thing happened with Darth Vader.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFine art print on archival quality 308gsm Hahnemühle Photo Rag\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jim'll Paint It","offers":[{"title":"12\" x 12\" \/ Unframed","offer_id":56118381379969,"sku":"PP-FBM-12x12","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"12\" x 12\" \/ Black Frame","offer_id":56118381412737,"sku":"PP-CF-NOMOU-EAM-12x12-BF","price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"12\" x 12\" \/ Brown Frame","offer_id":56118381445505,"sku":"PP-CF-NOMOU-FBM-12x12-DBF","price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"24\" x 24\" \/ Unframed","offer_id":56118381478273,"sku":"PP-FBM-24x24","price":75.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"24\" x 24\" \/ Black Frame","offer_id":56118381511041,"sku":"PP-CF-NOMOU-EAM-60x60-BF","price":110.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"24\" x 24\" \/ Brown Frame","offer_id":56118381543809,"sku":"PP-CF-NOMOU-FBM-12x12-DBF","price":110.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1311\/9059\/files\/barryokart-brownframe.png?v=1786978435","url":"https:\/\/jimll.co.uk\/products\/barry-o-kart-art-print","provider":"Jim'll Paint It","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
