Artist: AncsaWeide

60 x 49″

Mixed Media on Canvas (Framed)

Scrooge McDuck is reimagined through a pop surrealist lens, transformed from a cheerful cartoon billionaire into a hardened, elder capitalist with wild white hair and furrowed features. His expression is intense, his eyes narrowed behind a pair of wired spectacles, hinting at decades of financial conquest and capitalist cunning. Dollar bills rain across the dark green backdrop, each embedded with a warped likeness of the iconic duck, merging money, ego, and legacy into one charged visual narrative.

The character is dressed in a richly textured plaid coat and wears a dollar-sign badge, echoing themes of wealth, greed, and transformation. A golden inset frame holds the original version of Scrooge McDuck in his classic cartoon form, wide-eyed and smiling—juxtaposing innocence with the aged, more cynical version who now dominates the canvas. Stacks of gold coins and smoke curling through the background enhance the piece’s narrative tension and theatrical flair.

This work stands at the intersection of contemporary cartoon art, pop culture deconstruction, and bold modern artwork, blending mixed media painting with sculptural flair and conceptual commentary. Perfect for collectors interested in modern nostalgia, street-style painting, and edgy art for collectors, this piece is a must-see at our gallery in West Hollywood.
