"I've been waiting my whole life for technology to catch up with my ideas of intermingling painting with animation.”

Published in a limited edition of 100 signed prints, Blobosistic shows Scharf in his full classic style. Here Blobosistic (the central red character) greets us with his infectious and slightly mischievous grin. Soaring through outer space, Blobosistic isn’t lonely or cold… in fact, he’s surrounded by some of his closest friends huddled around him, laughing, smiling, licking… and keeping warm. Here, the AR gives us a glimpse into life for Blobosistic, chuckling, giggling, burping, and even a little gas. The AR also enables Blobosistic’s friends to spill out from their frame as figures intricately modeled in 3D, pushing up against one another with noses and tongues and cheeks unfurling and nudging and laughing all the while.
