In 1977, Vincent Price starred in a one-man-show where he played openly gay Oscar Wilde. The show was condemned by anti-gay activist Anita Bryant. When asked about her condemnation, Price replied that Wilde had already written a play about Anita: “A Woman of No Importance.”

oscar wilde really spent a whole chapter yapping about perfume and cool rocks and then devoted about three sentences to the murder of one of the central characters, and honestly? i see the vision

[just-chrissie-stuff]

When I first looked up online discussions about "The Picture of Dorian Gray" everyone was saying that it was a great book but that there was "that one terrible chapter".

And I immediately thought: "Ah yes, the murder chapter."

But no, it turns out that everyone was just talking about that really cool chapter with the description of Dorian's hobbies.

Meanwhile, me: *fascinated by the historical references and the descpritions of cool rocks*

“Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope. They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only Beauty. There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.” ― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

Having difficulty drawing these days, so I did a little piece based on this photo from "the Charles de Beistegui ball", held in Venice in 1951. The masks these ladies are wearing in the photo actually seems to be 18th century "moretta"-masks! They're worn with no straps and are held onto the face by a button that the wearer clasps in their mouth!!! Very cool and creepy. I made one of these myself once, they're very easy to make from a standard blank mask, warm recommendation for an easy but creepy costume. The real ones obviously have holes for the eyes, but the quality of the photo had them blend into the black, and I wanted to keep that effect (:

Some of you guessed it, I’ve got a Unicorn art book coming - Kickstarter opening June 1st!

I’ve gotten a lot of requests over the years for an art book of my unicorn illustrations, and so I’ve finally put one together – it will feature the illustrations I created in the years 2019-2022, along with all the fun unicorn lore that accompanied them.

I’ll be running it as a kickstarter to cover the cost of printing the book - naturally I’ll be launching the kickstarter in June, in honor of Junicorn, the most whimsical of months. If you’d like to support the project when it launches, you can find it here:

Coming soon: Unicorns: Their Life and Habits - Art Book

Illustrations and lore by Jaimie Whitbread, from the years of 2020-2022
