PLANET EARTH II (2016) — Episode 3 "Jungles"

"I'd been thinking about people who are suffering through mental illness or they're suffering through addiction or they have an everyday struggle. No one pats them on the back every day, but every day they are actively fighting something. [...] I think there are a lot of mechanisms for us in our school days, in high school or college, to excel and to be patted on the back for something. And then I think a lot of people get out of school and there are less abilities for them to get gold stars. And then you have to make all these decisions and pave your own way and there's no set class course you can take, and I think a lot of people feel really swept up in that." – Taylor on this is me trying.

Ok so why is it that Grantaire in modern AUs is always described as a painter???

Like in canon sure, like painting and sculpture were the only really respected art forms, and he does paint in canon I’ll give you that

But there’s so much more to art these days that he could be doing !!

Like if you headcanon that he makes posters for les amis, he could be doing printmaking, like block printing, screen printing, risographs and lithographs

He could be making zines!

Designing screen printed t shirts!

Sewing and painting custom clothing!

He could be an installation artist! A sculptor!

Show me Grantaire doing video art, VHS production, using film, making glitch art, doing photography

Show me animator Grantaire, digital illustrator Grantaire, Grantaire who has a shitty day job at a designing firm and takes commissions in his limited free time

Show me Grantaire doing social practice art, he’s a sociable man who spends a lot of time all across the city interacting with people

Not to project my own artistic practice, but he could be mixed media, pulling from all disciplines!

He could work with found objects!

He could do light projection!

Like LOOK tattoo artist Grantaire is already there, I’ve seen it done before, its perfect, that could be how he meets like Combeferre, Jehan, and Bahorel, he could have eponine apprenticing under him

There’s SO much art out there and so many different media’s and disciplines, there’s nothing wrong with painter grantaire, but as an artist there’s just so so many more options you could explore
