Erotized Cartoon Characters

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Marge and Homer Simpson Calendar 2014 is Inspired by Helmut Newton

— January 8, 2014 — Naughty
The Marge and Homer Simpson Calendar 2014 combines erotic imagery and high fashion with iconic cartoon characters. While some people might avert their eyes in shock and revulsion, others will see it as yet another form of art and the rest will simply be amused by its overt sexuality and avant garde nature. Not to mention its re-interpretation Marge and Homer.

Created by artist aleXsandro Palombo, who is known for his racy pop culture illustrations, Marge and Homer Simpson Calendar 2014 is modeled after the photographs of Helmut Newton, a prolific German-Australian fashion photographer. Set against the cloud background made famous in the opening credits, the calendar reimagines the all-American family by envisioning Marge nude or in racy black dress while Homer is depicted in a sunhat and heels.
Trend Themes
1. Erotic Pop Culture - There is an opportunity for businesses to explore the intersection of high fashion and eroticism with popular cartoon characters.
2. Reimagined Iconography - The use of iconic cartoon characters in non-traditional contexts could potentially disrupt the art and fashion industries.
3. Aesthetic Satire - Businesses could capitalize on the trend of using humor and satire in art to create commentary on popular culture.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - There is potential for the fashion industry to incorporate more provocative, cartoon-inspired designs in their collections.
2. Art - Artists may find opportunities to push the boundaries of what is deemed acceptable in mainstream art by reimagining pop culture iconography.
3. Entertainment - Using satire in entertainment media, such as cartoons, could be a way to provide commentary on society and culture in a humorous way.
