A friend asked me to document a workshop on the masks of comedia dell’arte. It’s a brilliant experience, I’m learning a lot and I’m really excited about the exchange with the workshop’s participants.

More sketches to come.

Here we have Captain America decapitating an Ultron drone by drop-kicking his own shield through the drone’s neck. 

i love how he planks and then falls straight to the ground. i’m dying

I feel like no one ever taught Cap how to fight – certainly before, when he was asthmatic and looked like he would snap in two if you pushed him too hard, and then once he became Captain America everyone just assumed anyone that buff already knew what he was about – and Steve was too embarrassed to actually say anything, so he just made up his own style that basically involves bodily throwing himself on top of people

Do you ever think you'll stop drawing fanart? No offense it just seems like the kind of thing you're supposed to grow out of. I'm just curious what your plans/goals are since it isn't exactly an art form that people take seriously.

Ah, fanart. Also known as the art that girls make.

Sad, immature girls no one takes seriously. Girls who are taught that it’s shameful to be excited or passionate about anything, that it’s pathetic to gush about what attracts them, that it’s wrong to be a geek, that they should feel embarrassed about having a crush, that they’re not allowed to gaze or stare or wish or desire. Girls who need to grow out of it.

That’s the art you mean, right?

Because in my experience, when grown men make it, nobody calls it fanart. They just call it art. And everyone takes it very seriously.

It’s interesting though — the culture of shame surrounding adult women and fandom. Even within fandom it’s heavily internalized: unsurprisingly, mind, given that fandom is largely comprised by young girls and, unfortunately, our culture runs on ensuring young girls internalize *all* messages no matter how toxic. But here’s another way of thinking about it.

Sports is a fandom. It requires zealous attention to “seasons,” knowledge of details considered obscure to those not involved in that fandom, unbelievable amounts of merchandise, and even “fanfic” in the form of fantasy teams. But this is a masculine-coded fandom. And as such, it’s encouraged - built into our economy! Have you *seen* Dish network’s “ultimate fan” advertisements, which literally base selling of a product around the normalization of all consuming (male) obsession? Or the very existence of sports bars, built around the link between fans and community enjoyment and analysis. Sport fandom is so ingrained in our culture that major events are treated like holidays (my gym closes for the Super Bowl) — and can you imagine being laughed at for admitting you didn’t know the difference between Supernatural and The X Files the way you might if you admit you don’t know the rules of football vs baseball, or basketball?

“Fandom” is not childish but we live in a culture that commodified women’s time in such away that their hobbies have to be “frivolous,” because “mature” women’s interests are supposed to be marriage, family, and overall care taking: things that allow others to continue their own special interests, while leaving women without a space of their own.

So think about what you’re actually saying when you call someone “too old” for fandom. Because you’re suggesting they are “too old” for a consuming hobby, and I challenge you to answer — what do you think they should be doing instead?

So there’s a broken door at university for a couple of weeks now. Things got a bit out of hand…

What do you think a kiwi bird griffon would look like?

unlike most griffons, the kiwi variety is entirely flightless ! instead it uses its large front talons and sense of smell to burrow underground and forage for roots and insects
