Mixed media tends to refer to a work of visual art that combines various traditionally distinct visual art media. For example, a work on canvas that combines paint, ink, and collage could properly be called a "mixed media" work. When creating a painted or photographed work using mixed media it is important to choose the layers carefully and allow enough drying time between the layers to ensure the final work will have integrity. If many different media are used it is equally important to choose a sturdy foundation upon which the different layers are imposed. Many interesting effects can be achieved by using mixed media. Often, found objects are used in conjunction with traditional artist media, such as paints and graphite, to express a meaning in the everyday life. In this manner, many different elements of art become more flexible than with traditional artist media. Chauskoskis, the artistic alias of Mexican artist Walter Jacott, is a self-taught creator renowned in the designer toy community for his imaginative and often whimsical characters. His multifaceted career spans graphic design, painting, sculpting, and illustration. Chauskoskis’s work is deeply influenced by Mexican pop culture, including comic books, lucha libre, fantasy, horror, science fiction, and classic cartoons. These elements converge to form a unique aesthetic that blends the eerie with the endearing, resulting in a diverse array of peculiar and captivating characters.
