Mamma Skellington, a depiction of Jack Skellington from Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) with boobs, is the fifth painting in my “Mamma” series of work. The series aims to address, break and confuse gender roles of popular culture’s revered figures by bastardizing them with exposed breasts.
