ANDRES LARACUENTE

A New York based artist.

My art is focused on fictional world building and non-human characters. I think a lot about how the human-centric world that we built is a part of nature. As we are animals, I believe that fiction is a part of nature. We are just starting to think about this in popular culture, but humans are actually made up of a multitude of microorganisms (we share a symbiotic existence).

The artwork featured on the Brooklyn Industries t-shirt is part of a series of cartoon organisms. In these pictures I was photographed in casual cos-play. I am playing the role of a field scientist, inspired by a popular game series, well known as Pokemon.
