Heated Rivalry Inspired by JC Leyendecker

[pineapplebread]

#yeah no I’m fine just thinking about how jc leyendecker would feel seeing this recreation of a painting he did for a magazine that invented #the General American identity and thereby excluding regional and minority identities #particularly in this cover since the original solidified the myth of American Thanksgiving #and highlighted the hypermasculinity of American exceptionalism #(all while both figures were modeled by his lifelong partner Charles) #and now seeing this new piece take on characters who were allowed to be homosexual and happy for a (relatively) mainstream audience #(the same mainstream audience that he helped invent and thought could never be truly accepting of homosexuality unless layered under subtext#) #and seeing it made not for commercial reasons but for the love of art and romance #idk #I’d like to imagine he’d find some wonderment in seeing this #something something #gay lover painted over in heteronormative americana painted over in gay Canadian lovers #god I might write an essay abt this #anywho someone should paint Ilya as the ‘football hero’ cover next Honestly, these are some of the best tags I've ever gotten on a drawing and I am EMOTIONAL, because you understood my intent so clearly. I've been a long time fan of boykisser supreme illustrator Leyendecker for years and years, and studied his work and life, and to see others understand the text and subtext so well is incredible and humbling. I could not have explained myself in words better than these tags.

A great part of why this drawing was made with this reference was indeed because Leyendecker helped create the All American hypermasculine ideal we still see in sports and advertisement today, despite him having been forced to live a closeted life. I could not think of a better artist to reproduce and learn from for a series like Heated Rivalry.

I am tempted to draw Ilya as "Football Hero," (that was one of my first ideas for Heated Rivalry actually), but I've already replicated that painting twice, once as Captain America wrapped in a pride flag, and the second time as Vash the Stampede in his final manga scene. But who knows, I might do it anyways.

All of that to say thank you, @42-clocks for taking the time to write this.

“whatever the fuck these two characters had going on” is a vastly underrated character dynamic

“Weird about each other” is how I’ve always put it. It’s my favorite thing.

I am literally so normal about this scene and everyone's reactions, and how Kelvin is just. Fucking DELIGHTED and only has eyes for his mans.

I can't believe The Righteous Gemstones is what's going to bring me back to tumblr.

Ok, I know this might not be to everyone's taste, but speaking of non-toxic slow burn romances, I cannot stress enough how this silly show ("The Righteous Gemstones") managed to successfully achieve this with these two bozos (an almost 30 year old virgin televangelist and his dimwitted ex-Satanist friend):

A smooth and organic transition from "Whatever they have is gayer than gay sex" (seasons 1 & 2) to a canonical romance in the second half of the third season (there's build up).

And. And. All this while giving us

one of the most unapologetically batshit female characters you've seen (Judy Gemstone),

catchy tunes that you won't be able to get out of your head.

Danny McBride's power.

Seriously, if you want a stupider (affectionate) version of "Succession," give this one a try.

Hi, so I was about to order the art book but I saw that the whole bundle was out and I was jsut wondering if thats going to come back into stock or if it's out forever? Becuase I'll wait if it is but I'll just get the book now and not wait if it's not coming, thank you!

Thank you so much for your interest in Postbellum! The bundle will not come back in stock unfortunately, and once the books sell out, they will be gone forever as well

[pineapplebread]

Hello,

I was just wondering if your shop would be opening up again any time soon? I was hoping to get some of your lovely pins as a present for a friend who's birthday is coming up soonish. Thanks!

Hello, and thank you so much for asking! I just returned from an overseas trip, so I will be reopening my shop next week (after March 10), but if you need something before that, feel free to DM or email me and I'll set up a listing separately for you.
