So I'm cleaning out my bookmarks toolbar and want a place to save some things. If you like The Nightmare Before Christmas or Little Shop of Horrors, you might like some these things too.

A couple of updates on some things since my last big blog first. Firstly, I've uploaded some work here and thanks to the people who faved/viewed/read those already. Secondly, I might be getting some further help with kicking my ol' friend Depression out the door. She needs to go. I've let her sit on my couch and watch the same old cartoons for too long. Time for some new cartoons! It seems that I'm on a roll since I've gone back to the airbrush booth, since I've been making some new art and will be uploading it here. I wish I could say I'm making as much money as I am art, but hopefully things will improve when the summer season truly kicks off and I work Sundays. We've got some new help, which makes me happy for the business but nervous for my own sales skills since I'll have to compete with the new people. In the meantime, I'm looking for stable additional work around the Santa Cruz area. Of course, if anyone wants to talk to me about commissions on here, I'd be happy to talk! Please quote me a budget, if interested.

Also, in a couple hours I'll officially be 23 years old. I get a free chiropractor adjustment and all-you-can-eat strudel and spaetzle for my dinner tomorrow at the Tyrolean Inn!

Into the nerdy!

21 Things You Didn't Know About the Nightmare Before Christmas

So if you know me irl, you'll know I was quite obsessed with this movie when I was in junior high/high school. While I'm not so deeply insane about it as I once was, I'll admit that I still know an awful lot about its production. This is the movie that made me want to study animation, after all. But even I was a little surprised by this list from mentalfloss. If you love this movie and want to prove you know more about it than me, I highly recommend this short read:

The Spectacularly Tragic Little Shop of Horrors That Wasn't

Here's the fandom that I'm currently obsessed with, and on the third relapse too! This blog was not only a great resource for a paper I wrote recently about the 1986 film and why it is alternative/cult cinema since it contains lots of information and links to those sources on the movie, but it also is one of the best articles I've read about the reason the ending was changed for the movie. My thesis statement was that the ending was "too transressive" for audiences and that they "demanded recuperation" for something so dark that worked onstage but not in film, at least not in the way Oz planned. This article not only makes a lot of good arguments for why that's true, but presents the happy ending as something special now that the director's cut is available and many flock to that "true" version. I'll admit, it made me feel better about liking the theatrical cut.
