This is simply too far from realism for an LJ cut.

Fanart for Kubrick's fine aesthetics regarding prostitutes. Interestingly, it started out as a sketch depicting the balance between glucagon and insulin secretion in the pancreas.

Something absurd happened. I THINK my subconscious was trying to hand me a present. Fact of the matter is, after having studied like mad for a week, I had an exceptionally sexy dream about a young, Legends of the Fall-era Brad Pitt, complete with long blond hair and open shirt. It was a very, very welcome dream, but where the hoot did my brain get the idea that I would be into Legends of the Fall-era Brad Pitt? It's like my brain were my silly aunt, who figured she'd get me something nice for christmas, and, not knowing me at all, thought to herself "now what DO young ladies like these days? What about that charming fellow, Brad Pitt, isn't he all the rage?"

With the result that I am now weirdly into early 90s sex symbols.

He kind of looks more like Willem Dafoe. That's funny.

It's like, I was colouring, and I kept starting to colour stuff blue and green and purple, and then I would be like NOOO, red! I want red instead! So this became a pretty scarlet affair.

Also, I visitied swussian in Stockholm last weekend, and watching her draw and seeing her billion sketches was like, omg, sketches rock, I wanna see people's sketches. So here are mine:

A boxer, a cat, a bodystocking I bought.

The evergreen-ness of HP fanart.

The evergreener evergreen; Tonks and Lupin comfort-sexing (as opposed to lovemaking between two characters who are made for each other), because really, he's gay and she's lame, and where's Sirius?

Hamlet. Ophelia. Someone who resembles Jamie Lee Curtis. A flapper. A chick.

Continuing this. In a rather different style. Mostly because I only had that pen, and it was quite urgent I finished something on my to-do-list, since I've been on a to-do-list-less vacation for a couple of weeks and I was starting to feel my life was meaningless.

The comic book of doom. That will. Eventually. Get done. Before I die. The one about orphans and Don't Look Now dwarfs and whores and Babylon and seriously, whatnot, and the critics will say "if she could only have trimmed it 5000 pages". Who am I kidding. When I'm a 105 years old, I'll be working on page 8.

From the ANSGT that gave you aggressive, feminist blow-job art (here), we now present more stuff getting eaten.

I hate men. Well, no. It would definitely be wrong to say I hate them. Rather, I believe I've come to an annoyingly chick-lit conclusion; that all men deserve to be slapped. But they wouldn't understand WHY anyway, so fuck it. Fuckwits. Dicks for brains.

In my comic about orphans and a world revolution, Belle Justine, 13 (to the left), is in loooove with Salvatore Fernando, 15 (not in picture), but he's in love with Audrey de Bretagne, 18 (not in picture), so she tries to get her mind of him, aided by Jack Ashley, 19 (to the right). It's a gothic sci-fi eco horror-story, and it's basically like any other Friday night, like, OBVIOUSLY.

It's no-one in particular.

Very meaningful indeed. The gun+dead animal are a feminist commentary on the art of war, the birds mean something like, I dunno, I like stupid colours, the bruises are because I get drunk and fall over all the time, and the aggressive crotch area is an illustration of mean cunts in general.

I've always been fond of how art-people happily go with each others ideas for a couple of centuries, until you suddenly end up with established facts like "Saint Sebastian is gay, supercute and not wearing much, right? We all agree there, right?" "Yeah, sure we do."
Of course, I adore brand new interpretations very much too, but how could I possibly reinterpret Saint Sebastian, when he already embodies my default interpretation of any cultural heritage.

I feel I have taken orange sky as far as I can take it now. And I feel that Prince Cornelius (of Thumbelina) has the ultimate hairdo. A sort of early Aaron Carter thing, if Aaron Carter's hair was in fact sexy and not early Aaron Carter. I'm gonna stick that hair on every character I draw for a year.

A slightly unsuccessful but still satisfying collaboration between ink, pencil and the only marker I have left that's not completely dry.

mm... my fangirl vision of espionage. I just remembered, after 18 month of completely forgetting it, the not very memorable movie The Good Shepherd. It did have a few good scenes involving Michael Gambon and Billy Crudup mixing up honour and country and gayness. Also, and completely unrelated, didn't Rupert Everett star in a pretty decent film about how the awful English hierachical school systems turned its less-than-straight students against England and into the arms of the KGB? Something along those lines? It's all very, very interesting.

Not that much to say. It just occured to me that it's a travesty to make fanart for art that is way, way beyond cool to begin with. Like Maurice Sendaks art for Where the Wild Things Are. So lets just say I made this to practise drawing buildings.

Beetroot feces colour scheme!

Fanart for The Yiddish Policemen's Union by Michael Chabon (which I'm not done with). Michael Chabon is the best writer living today. Possibly he hasn't written the best book of his generation, but definitely a few of the best sentences. I like this one. Not as much as I loved The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay (even if the setting is arguably cooler in this one), but I like it a lot.

It's Meyer Landsman, Hotel Zamenhof and some orthodox Jewish fellow with a gun. Not sure which, there seems to be a whole truckload* to choose from in the book.

*Johanne!!! Did you just say a truckload of orthodox Jews? Shame on you!

Kids, version Batman&Catwoman

Hight points of my summer include (surprise) watching the Dark Knight on IMAX and seeing Sally Manns photos of her immediate family. Of the Dark Knight I can only say that is was REALLYREALLYSUPERGOOD, and that I met THE-ENTIRE-CAST. Because I was in New York. And New York was being a real cliche of itself. Running into totally awesome celebs, getting drunk on rooftops with amazing views aaaaaall the time. Seriously, all the time. For a month. With the dollar being practically zero and the sushi totally for free, that shit can kill you.

Anyywwaaay, I totally think Catwoman should be in the 3rd, and I think the coctail of Catwoman, Batman and Sally Mann's kids is spastically amazing, but I'm partial to kids that play dress up, so it could just be me.

There is a specific rule stating that if you're bummed out because you got your anatomy exam coming up, and you have no idea which arteries go to which parts of the pharynx, and you can't really think of a time to learn it, then you get to draw WHATEVER YOU MAY FEEL LIKE. EVEN IF YOU ONLY FEEL LIKE DRAWING DISNEY PRINCES.

Especially if it's a Disney prince in an ambiguously sticky situation created solely by Disney and not at all by me. Celebrate the ambiguity!

Maleficent and Prince Philip are possibly my favourites of all things Disney. Aladdin is a close second, but Philip is like, awesome.

Harry Potter fanart! So, that scene in Deathly Hallows where Bathilda Bagshot goes completely gothic horror movie, and splits open, and a snake comes out, and it turns out she's been dead for ages, and her house smells like rotten meat? That was CRAZY SCARY, I loved that so much! Wish Fritz Lang could direct the last one.

Mistakes we knew we were making: Harry is not depicted as middleaged balding guy, and if he is going to be a middleaged balding guy in the movie in that scene, that will be bad filmmaking. Way too Todd Solondz to have Daniel Radcliffe be played by a 50year old when we should be focusing on the awesome zombie gore going on.

I have now watched the entire Six Feet Under, and I really really really understand that we will all die eventually. Jees. Seriously, though, I have never seen anything as good as the final montage in the last episode, and I probably have never cried so much at anything, not counting real people dying.

This is not a portrait of Ian Curtis as a kid. But it IS a portrait I did while, incidentally, looking at a picture of Ian Curtis as a kid. It turned out very Manchester in the Margaret Thatcher sense of the word, and also very Bugsy Malone, which is a combination I'm all for!

So, at the moment I really dig Control and Touching from a Distance, and Thomas Chatterton and buying carrot buns. And I think it's all to do with my upcoming anatomy exam, which is starting to resemble an upcoming nuclear attack more than an exam. I don't know if I'll survive it, and if I do there's no telling what the new world will be like. Which naturally makes my thoughts circle around dying young and eating a lot.
