Venus Anadyomene

Tu sens comme des fleurs fanées

I present to you Mammoney and my OC Ari in the mandatory beach scene episode, cute cartoon edition. Procrastinating made me rewatch Natasha Allegri’s Bee & Puppycat for the 4th time this month (Oof, don’t even wanna know how often I’ve seen it so far alltogether),I had way too much food and when I wasn’t groaning about my deadlines I was playing Obey Me.   So I wondered what would happen with the Obey Me demons in a cute cartoon adventure. This is one of the results. (also one of the first digital art illustrations I ever diiiiid). 

My OC Ari is basically the billion times cooler and magical version of myself (lolz). Probably owns 10 cats and a cottage on the island with chickens in the back and coos them into laying eggs. (demon brothers & undatables coming up in Bee and Pups style too!)

Cecilia Beaux (1855-1942) was an impressionist portrait painter, one of the most successful artists of her time in the United States. She is mostly known for her portraits of the upper class.

She studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, as well as abroad in Paris. She was awarded numerous prizes for her work, such as the Temple Gold Medal and the First Prize of the Carnegie Institute. She was also a member of the Plastic Club in Philadelphia, an organization of female artists who supported each other and their work.

[violentwavesofemotion-deactivat]

The body needs to create too. Beware feeling you’re not good enough to deserve it. Beware feeling you’re too good to need it. Beware all the hatred you’ve stored up inside you, and the locks on your tender places.

Audre Lorde, from a letter to Pat Parker featured in Sister Love: The Letters of Audre Lorde & Pat Parker, (via violentwavesofemotion)
