You’ve Got a Lot of Balls

This piece is a washed and etched piece depicting the main character from Grand Theft auto and the company that makes the games. It is a take on censorship and the open nature of the game. If this print had been made a few years later it would have depicted the Hot Coffee scene instead. As of then, it depicts the simultaneous American acceptance and revulsion with violence and about how we always think we know what is best for other people. The backwards letters were a happy accident that Jettychan very much enjoyed and decided to keep.  She created this piece after seeing the people in charge of her class attack someone’s piece of work based off of GTA as stealing someone else’s work even though they tried to explain that it was a fan art piece. Later Jettychan was harassed by these same people for being attempting to help them understand Japanese pronunciation as a “white person”. The people in charge of her class were pompous, arrogant, not so nice people who often criticized other people’s art merely because they did not understand the subject matter while refusing to learn and grow as human beings.
