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.

Look, I just want to tell somebody
So, last weekend life just decided to slap me in the face. I just feel so… sad. Yeah, I show it through anger and sometimes humor (if you were to meet me irl you’d think me a bucket of laughs), but really I just want to cry. Sadder still, it takes a lot to make me cry. This, somehow, wasn’t enough.
A couple bad experiences before I get to the worst one:
1. A VERY drunk customer verbally harassed some ladies at work, telling them to “suck this.” He then told me and a coworker how much he “loved us ladies.” It felt like I jumped into an old old movie with a happy drunk/creeper.
2. Another customer asked
I Have a Patreon/Donation Options
Hello, everyone who still watches me on deviantart. Believe it or not, sometimes even I log on still!
So if you didn't guess by the title I have a Patreon now. I have waited a while to set one up because after I got my degree (I mentioned that happened, right?) I've had a very busy summer. My sister and I moved out together, we went on a family reunion trip from hell, and we both have jobs… sadly mine gives me very few hours per week and is minimum wage. The plus side to not having a lot of work or being in school though is that I can focus on "side quests" and finally doing more commissions!
At the moment I don't have any patrons, so
It's Gone
Howdy, everyone. I have some interesting news. If you read my last journal, you'll know that someone has copied one of my artworks and had it printed on a t-shirt. A best-selling t-shirt. The details are in that entry titled I'm as Mad as a Hatter.
I decided to delete the deviation. Not store. Delete.
While I have mixed feelings about doing this I'm not all that sad anymore.
Truthfully, Tender Lumpling (the title of the piece in question) is not my best work. I didn't even think it was in 2011 when I made it. It was a great example of my ability to draw in Tim Burton's art style, specifically the Nightmare Before Christmas art style. It wa
I'm as Mad as a Hatter
I’ve had this piece of artwork posted on facebook with no credit given before, put in other peoples’ galleries on deviantart, and had people re-draw it a lot, but this is just amazing!
This is my original artwork (with an outdated watermark):
And this is what some jerkoff on iwannatee made:
What can I say? I mean, this took actual EFFORT. Somebody had to redraw Sally completely so she wouldn’t be wearing the “Pumpkin Queen” dress I designed, mask and erase ALL of my background off, and combine filters with digital brushes to re-draw this along with adding all the extra background stuff. Most of the time, the rip
