Disenchanted Disney
Tags: Jose Rodolfo Loaiza Ontiveros

Today we present you with works from José Rodolfo Loaiza Ontiveros’ project, Disenchanted. The Mexican artist takes familiar and iconic Disney characters out of their fairy tale existence and puts them into the stark reality of life embodied by perversion, voyeurism and addiction, evolving into the more complicated topics of homosexuality, rape and even faith. It’s half tribute and half social criticism. It’s a re-contextualized artistic proposal on the strength of time-honored iconoclasm and the weakness of haphazard ideology.

Fender ‘Kurt Cobain’ Jaguar

To commemorate the 20th anniversary of Nirvana’s seminal album, Nevermind, Fender will be releasing a special edition Jaguar, meticulously modeled after the battered and highly unusual 1965 Jaguar that Cobain wielded during the early ’90s.
Fender craftsmen have reproduced Cobain’s battle-hardened left-handed Jaguar down to the last unusual detail, including its worn finish, dual humbucking pickups and unique electronics and controls (which were already in place when Kurt acquired the guitar in summer 1991).
Unique features include an alder body with Road Worn aged finish and hardware treatment, bound fretboard with pearloid dot markers, Stratocaster headstock shape with 1950s-style “spaghetti” logo, DiMarzio® humbucking DP103 PAF 36th Anniversary neck pickup and DP100 Super Distortion bridge pickup, triple knurled “chrome-dome” knob configuration (volume-volume-tone), three-position toggle switch, black chrome Adjusto-Matic™ bridge and Gotoh® sealed tuners. Available in right- and left-handed versions.
