Casey Weldon’s work is like the house of mirrors at a carnival. Instead of stretching and distorting the human patrons that stumble into the labyrinthine funhouse, though, Weldon’s work entraps American culture itself, reflecting images that amplify, twist, and invert the dynamics we otherwise inherently accept in our society and its rituals. His paintings feature beautiful women wearing headdresses adorned with bullets and cigarettes; gigantic humans dwarfing industrial surroundings rendered in toy-like miniature; and most famously, four-eyed cats that both attract and repulse, magic eye strains that at once reflect the euphoria and the withdrawal of meme-addled internet junkiedom.

Part Gumby, part Fisher-Price Adventures, but with consequences; we take a journey to the adorably brutal world of Spooky Woods in our next issue.
Says the artist:
“The characters and their design really build the setting on their own,” Andrew Metzler says. “With a character I’m calling the ‘Warden’—a horned, spike-mouthed, intimidating figure—the environment naturally has to feel just as menacing. Once you have a character like that, you start thinking about the atmosphere, the vibe, the color palette, and I immediately gravitated toward a prison. And once there’s a prison, the questions follow: What does it look like? Who else is in here? Who protects this place? What keeps everyone inside?”
