#making slightly esoteric but kind of cute characters based off anything is my true calling. i can never stop.#a few weeks ago i was chatting with a friend about how in fucking. highschool science class#we had to do a presentation on medical conditions and i was assigned scoliosis. a bunch of my friends and family have it so i was prepared.#but also i was at the time like unable to make any project without making funny little cartoons and a weird narrative about it#so i. made an illustrated powerpoint. about scoliosis facts and info. but like framed through the narrative of a rockabilly singer characte#he had a pompadour of course and was named johnny or some shit. and his backup singers who were disemboded floating spines#that sing. he was a normal human. he had sunglasses i think. anyway the spine backup singers were The Spinettes and one of them#her name was like spinella or something i dont remember had scoliosis and the plot of the powerpoint. the plot of the powerpoint#was basically a comic i narrated out loud LOL but the plot was like a saturday morning cartoon very special episode. i had fun with it#no one laughed at my jokes. the disembodied talking spines was a little too esoteric for 2014 teenagers. but later acquaintances said they#liked it? grew on them i guess. anyway i spent like all of highschool doing shit like that. oh god this is what ive always been meant to do#(still thinking too much about my place as an artist because of undergrad theses dont mind me)#(i shouldnt think tooo hard about it tho. my professors are hard on me because they see a lot of potential. but they're also like)#(kind of in a bubble as professors in the fine arts dept of a non art school in ontario. so i do need to take their advice carefully)#(did i ever mention how a prof said i should look into robert crumb as a 'similar artist to me'? the fritz the cat guy????)#(what does it mean.... what does it all mean..... tbh it might just mean that thats the only cartoonist she knew the name of LOL)#(and even then she might not know much about him. like the racism etc. my profs have good advice sometimes but like i said theres a bubble)
