Buon giorno, everyone! After a month of letting it sit idle, my Society6 shop is open for business!

You can buy shirts, phone cases, pillows, tote bags and other items with some of my favorite prints on them. I’m still working on the shop as we speak, so do let me know if there are any works of mine you would like to see available!

“Rotkäppchen”

_{School is over, and with it concludes my grueling semester of Lithography. To celebrate the end of my stone block printing days, I thought I might queue some of my favorite pieces from this semester.All of these prints are available for purchase, so feel free to message me if you are interested!}

This piece is a little heavier handed. While Little Red Riding Hood has incured many interpretations over the years, I decided to focus on it’s most basic warning. Innocently enough, the tale is warning children about stranger danger. However, on a more mature level, the story is a warning to women about the risks they face by going out into the world on their own. We carry the warnings with us everywhere we go until they become the monsters that darken the woods we travel in.

Current state of the Poseidon piece. I’m hanging it up to take a step back and look at the balance of fishies. Maybe I need to add a squid?

Red strings represent the destinies of people being tied together. Crows are associated with death. Make of this piece what you will then.

I like puns, alright? They are my curse and my strength. And that is pretty much all the commentary I have for this piece.

I finally got to draw a dinosaur in college, guys. All of my dreams are coming true. Also,Nostalgia Critic sums up the idea behind this piece quite nicely.

First up is Saint Serena. Based on a disagreement my class had about the relevancy of fan art in the art world, I combined anime, religion, and Alphonse Mucha for our final trade print. That way, everyone in my class got a little bit of what they wanted.

D&D Scouts master post.

I Had thought about what if the Sailor Scouts were classes in D&D. I could imagine some kind of campaign where they Moon Kingdom Guild is Searching for the lost princess. They enlist the talents of 4 adventurers and lead by the Palidin of the Moon.

Excuse me, but this is perfect.

“Lilo and Stitch” 2002

Deleted Scene

Lilo plays a trick on the tourists.

IF YOU LIVED HERE YOU’D UNDERSTAND

I desperately need to understand

WHY

WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY

Was this scene cut from the movie??!!

Fucking christ, do you know what this would have done? What this would have meant to SO MANY people?? The truth of this is devastating. And to think it almost found it’s way into a DISNEY film??

The inclusion of this scene alone would have made it the greatest animated feature the company ever produced. Easily. And if you think that’s hyperbolic clearly you don’t understand.

No, really, if anyone knows why this was cut PLEASE let me know.

oh man WHY WOULD they cut this, this is so great, holy MOLY

It was clearly something the crew was very reluctant to get rid of if it made it all the way to rough-clean (and in a few scenes clean!), fully inbetweened animation. That is like, thousands and thousands of dollars and weeks (months?!) of labour. Maybe a reluctant producer decided they would alienate their white middle-class American audiences by making them feel “too guilty” and pressed them to drop it? It’s unfortunate, it’s one of the most honest accounts of racism in a Disney movie (which is why it’s believable that someone got uncomfortable and made a case to get it chopped)

Designing entertainment by committee for maximum marketability is probably the most heartbreaking process in Hollywood.

I’ve been seeing this around my dash and think it deserves some more recognition!

This shit is hilarious, too.

NO WAIT SHIT

I GET IT NOW

I GET WHY SHE WAS PHOTOGRAPHING TOURISTS AS A HOBBY

SHE WAS BEING FUCKING SATIRICAL AND OBJECTIFYING

IT’S NOT BECAUSE SHE’S A DUMB KID WITH A WEIRD HOBBY IT’S BECAUSE THEY DO THAT TO HER AND HER FRIENDS AND FAMILY LIKE SHE’S SOME KIND OF FUCKING THEME PARK CHARACTER AND SHE WANTS THEM TO KNOW HOW IT FEELS

HOLY FUCKING DICKS DISNEY WHY WOULD YOU CUT THIS

i’ve seen a lot of ads for a disney theme park in hawaii recently too…

I really wish they would make a director’s cut of Lilo and Stitch. This, in edition to a deleted scene about her parents, should definitely be in some version of the film.

Wed, 15 May 2013 03:38:57 -0500

“The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist: a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain. If you can’t lick ‘em, join ‘em. If it hurts, repeat it. But to praise despair is to condemn delight, to embrace violence is to lose hold of everything else. We have almost lost hold; we can no longer describe a happy man, nor make any celebration of joy.”

- Ursula Le Guin, The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas

#i love dark and grim narratives a lot but i’m so sick of how popular they are#nope just because a story shows us the awful side of humanity and existence it doesn’t mean it’s good #nope just because a story shows us the awful sides of humanity and existence itself it doesn’t mean it’s good #especially if the execution is terrible which is where too many of these narratives fall flat (via sokkasass)
