A Bloody Spectacle

“I will cast abominable filth upon you; make you vile, and make you a spectacle.” ~Nahum 3:6

A triple crossover of Little Shop of Horrors, Carrie by Stephen King, and Nope by Jordan Peele. This piece brings out the themes of spectacle and the terrible consequences that come if we are not careful about it.

As Jean Jacket spews the bloody remains of its latest victims over poor Carrie White, standing barely safely above the anticipating pod of Audrey II. All three show the catastrophic results of how we are not always aware of how terrible the actual story certain events originated from really are or how dangerous what we are seeing can be.

P.S. Always wanted to try making something like this after connecting all three horror stories together by themes.

Little Shop of Horrors belongs to Roger Corman, Alan Menkan, and Howard Ashman

Carrie belongs to Stephen King

And Nope belongs to Jordan Peele

Jean Jacket (unfolded) from Nope

Made with acrylics/oil paints, I figured I celebrate the occasion of Halloween by painting a recreated screenshot of Jean Jacket’s true form. Ever since I watched the movie, I have always been fascinated by this creature, the themes surrounding it, and especially how it works. If Peele ever decides to make a sequel, I definitely want to learn more about what these things are, if there are more, and where they came from.

“Nope” and Jean Jacket belongs to Universal Studios, Monkey Paw Productions, and Jordan Peele

My take on a humanized Jean Jacket

She is a woman of very little words.

I also gave her a horse named Curse.
