Art’s great nudes have gone skinny
Italian artist Anna Utopia Giordano has created a visual re-imagination of historic nude paintings, had the subjects conformed their bodies to what the 21st century considers an ideal of beauty. The results are revealing—and quite shocking in what they say about the modern attitude toward women’s bodies.
Relevant.
so true
And they’re not nearly as beautiful all super skinny like

”Altered States”
Valerie Hegarty
Marlborough Chelsea, 545 W25nd St., NYC
Hegarty’s depiction of destruction is a departure point to examine larger issues of erasure, repression, the uncanny, metamorphosis, death and rebirth. Hegarty painstakingly crafts her works from foam core, papier mâché and ink-jet prints on canvas that she then paints, carves, twists, drapes, amputates, and grafts to create mutated originals where the fictional disasters behave as a catalyst for the works coming back to life. - thru May 5
Unfortunately my roommates’ cat isn’t feeling so well in his old age, and as we all know, vet bills can easily overwhelm the typical college budget. If you’re curious, my roommates have elaborated here and here.
I’d love to help however I can, so! I’m jumping on the commission bandwagon!
All of the following are for 1 character, with a simple, spot background, at 300 dpi. Each additional character is +$5.
Full lineart and monochrome tone: $15 [ x x ]
Want me to make your commission a gif ( like here [ x x ] )? +$5!
And because they’re simple and small, 400x400 px full color pokemon gifs are $15!
Want a more elaborate illustration, say a specific scene or with a detailed background or more than 4 characters? Or even 2-3 small ones that tie together as a series? Message me and I’ll be happy to negotiate a price with you!
I’m willing to draw just about anything: fanart, original work, G — NC-17 rated, nearly whatever your little heart desires. I only ask that if you ask me to draw your original character, that you provide clear references for them.
Payment accepted through paypal. Feel free to message me on this tumblr account, my account at staringatsuns.tumblr.com, or through my email at chelsie.sutherland@gmail.com

So as some of you know, I run Fantasy Big Bang on both LJ and DW with Sky. What this is, for you writerly types, is writing at least a 10k word story by June/July that is of a fantasy bent (any range of fantasy is accepted, but original stories only). For you artistic types, it’s selected a story and drawing a piece of art (or two or however many) or making a music mix or doing ANYTHING that you feel so artistically inclined to do (ie photoshoots or photomanipulations etc) by late June/July.
At the moment, we have 17 authors but only 4 artists! We need more artists! If you might be interested
You are free to sign up either through DW or LJ (I am, for instance an author on DW and an artist on LJ) because all stories will be cross-posted. Also, please spread the word if you think you know someone who would be interested in participating!
If you have any questions, feel free to comment on the posts on either LJ or DW (whichever you prefer) or send an email to fantasybigbangmods@gmail.com :D
