Happy Holidays everyone!

Happy Valentine’s Day y’all, I’ve missed you! Been working on some cool stuff, and I’ll give you all a proper rundown later, but in the meantime here are some cute valentines I made for my coworkers (and one for the BF)

Hello, just wanted to say that I love your art. When I see it, it inspires me to keep drawing and practicing. Thank you!

Aww…Thank-you! It was the HTTYD fandom that got me into drawing actually! Artists like @axonmanage, @avannak, @funkytoes and @bgsdragons, inspired me to start drawing and I drew a lot often. My first coloured pencil drawings were kind of terrible and I have come a long way since then. 

I feel honoured that I have inspired you. Thank-you so much for your kind words! 

[avannak]

Woooooow this is actually such a cool thing to be tagged in considering how far Jenni’s come! Thank you! I’ve gotta say, what got ME started into drawing were other early fandom artists like @ch4rmsing, @ehrola, @viria, @napalm, Contraltissimo, @crownflame, @bonkalore, Marta T…

I had pretty much given up on art and then HTTYD and them rekindled it. Like, inspiration is the greatest thing, I swear

[ehrola]

Aaaaah no but wait you guys inspire me! I’ve come and gone from a lot of fandoms but HTTYD is the one that will always have my heart and always inspires me to draw again :) Back then (and now!) I looked up to @avannak, @bonkalore, Contraltissimo, @crownflame, flominowa…

Auto Mechanics Hilariously Recreate Renaissance Paintings

US-based photographer Freddy Fabris had always wanted to pay homage to the Renaissance masters with his photos in some way, but he wasn't sure how until he stumbled upon an auto-mechanic shop in the Midwest. This led to a brilliant series of portraits with auto mechanics reenacting famous Renaissance paintings.

Da Vinci’s Last Supper

Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam

Rembrandt’s Anatomy Lesson

“Hilariously”? Those are beautiful photos…

So it’s been five years to the day since I started my historical (or, well, historical-ish) Disney princesses series.  I have no idea how it’s been this long – I feel like I drew some of these yesterday – but it seemed as good an opportunity as any to revisit Belle now that I’m five years older and wiser.  And now that I’m way more into the 1780’s/90’s.

I drew that original Belle on a whim, fueled by my sister’s time working as a costumed interpreter at Colonial Williamsburg, and assuming it would be a one-off piece.  In the long run, despite all their now egregious flaws, I owe this series for some pretty cool jobs, meeting a ton of cool people, developing an unexpectedly voracious appetite for historical fashion, and eating a fair amount of humble pie along the way.

I think this Belle probably marks the swan song of my historical Disney princess series.  Much as I’d love to continue doing it forever, I’ve got a lot of exciting personal projects that I’m ready to dedicate more of my precious free time to. I’ll probably continue designing this stuff in my off hours – who am I to resist drawing the likes of Slue Foot Sue and Katrina Von Tassel – but I’m going to focus less on polished illustrations, and more on the research and design.  When you get right down to it, that’s the aspect of this stuff that I love. :)

Thanks to everyone who stuck with me over the past five years, and here’s to way more historical fashion in the years to come  I can’t even put into words how lovely y’all’ve been. 

Just a little change. Small, to say the least.
