There is, or was, a show called The Big Ballet that featured less than (more than?) slim persons. I have not seen it, only pictures from it, but I like the idea. So, here is a piece inspired by the photos from the show. Consider it an homage to individuality.
Height & Weight: 5’12” – 90 lbs / Trained by: El Baile Araña / Debut: November 20 2008 / Finishing Move: Fluttering kiss / Despite her genteel appearance La Dulce Mariposa takes a great deal of aggression into the ring. Her feisty style and hardcore moves make her a big hit with the crowds. Having spent three years watching butterflies fight she is a master of the little know martial art of粗動翼. / /
For Paul so he’ll know about the music going through my head and egging me on., last night. Watched it on a disk of MadTV and it was going through my head all night! Please note, it was not totally inspired by the music, but, the end result was and even finishing it up was. Which means I also collaborated with the Rolling Stones, in a strange fashion. lol Sometime, if you’re nice, I’ll upload the first one, and II, as well; maybe even the photo that started it all, but, I doubt it. lol I think I have worked longer, more intently, on this than on most anything else I have ever made. Maybe not. Maybe it just means more to me. I might continue, later on, as this is something I do like the looks of, but, it was not exactly what I intended to make when I started. Look upon it with happiness! It is not about gluttony, it is not about a need for change, it’s just fun! The original photo was taken by my father, Bob Sloan, while I was several thousand miles away. Does that count as Collaboral Damage? Let’s see! # Okay, today is the day (December 2nd, 2008 if you care to know) when I add the links. Since things turned out a bit wonky in presentation here, I also added the basic information and then some in writing. Remember, in this case, it is not meant to be a real tutorial, telling you how to do a certain piece or even a certain style, but, if by writing about it, I can give someone a good idea of how to liven up a piece that isn’t shaping up the way they’d prefer, well, that’d be grand! This is the original digital photograph, courtesy of Bob Sloan (aka: Dad): / Here is the first drawing/painting/manipulation I created based on a funny thought: / And, here it is BEFORE it got as colored as it did above, in fact, but after .. hmm .. tricky to explain. Okay, before I saved the one above, I printed off a copy of it, and then I drew on it. Later, I rescanned it in and went from there. Got it? Good. One can cause a time vortex, explaining the creation of true art in digital format. Here is the rescanned, drawn on print out: If anyone looks at this and thinks “Ooh, that would be perfect for the ….. group.” , or such as that, by all means make the suggestion. # Okay, I’ve seen. This does not count as Collaboral Damage. Why? It does not meet the group guidelines, which are: This group is for collaborations of all kinds. From the serious, wacky, fun, strange, sinister – in fact, anything that’s been done as collaboration. The appeal of collaborating for us is that we can see others’ interpretations of the one image, theme or concept. The point of collaborating is to widen our viewpoints, expose ourselves to new images and genres’ and to learn and admire the skills of others. and are also: *Group Rules: 1. Members are welcome to add photographs they would like others to work on as well, but must CLEARLY title them so, or add this in the photograph’s description. 2. Photographs must also CLEARLY be marked as a collaboration and the artist you collaborated with must be referred to. If they are not clearly labelled indicating it is a collaboration or may be used by someone to clreate a collaboration, the image will be removed. / I will occasionally choose a favourite from the group as our groups new avatar :) * Beyond referring to the fact that Bob Sloan, my father took the photograph, and freely admitting that I used it to make something else, I am not sure what more I could do to fall into the groups guidelines. Do we need to sign a contract in blood? Sheesh! This is the sort of thing that made me decide to quit most of the groups to begin with. Well, part of it. Though, it wasn’t due to this group. Listen, moderators, co-hosts, whatever you call yourself (and this is to all groups) I KNOW you are busy, but, you are also in a position where you put yourself. You have a duty to be fair, impartial, and do the job you set yourself up for. My work is constantly rejected by certain groups no matter how well it fits into the guidelines. Sometimes I write to a co-host and ask why. Usually I get no response at all, but a few times I was told that if they had been the ones to see it, they would have accepted it as it obviously fit in the guidelines. Which means, someone was being lazy, letting their personal grief or PMS get to them, or has a personal problem with me or what my art was about None of which is any part of being a good co-host. Oh wait, it could mean one more thing, in this case, or in similar cases: it could mean you need to rewrite your guidelines so that the members of the group will have a bloody clue what you’re actually looking for. PS: This is playing nice; certainly nicer than you were being when you rejected something that obviously fits the criteria as given! Mmm .. so.. there, I altered it. Wonder if it fits the group guidelines now? # As a point of fairness, I should say that I got a rather poiite email telling me where they think I went wrong. The problem is that i didn’t post a link to the RB’er whom I collaborated with. Which is, of course, because the person I collaborated with is not on Red Bubble. So, it is, after all, a need to be more clear within group guidelines and/or more open-minded in their interpretation. Thanks for the email though. It was nice, as well as informative!
Dolly is a commissioned illustration and a potential tattoo! From Wikipedia: / “Dolly Dimples” is a traditional name for large ladies who once made their living with freak shows at circuses and carnivals. The most famous “Dolly Dimples” was Celesta Geyer, who was billed as “The World’s Prettiest Fat Girl” and “The World’s Most Beautiful Fat Lady”. She sported dimples an inch deep at each elbow. About her diet / After surviving a near fatal heart attack in 1950, Dolly followed a strict 800 calorie per day diet and in little more than a year she reduced her weight to 112 pounds, maintaining the loss for the rest of her life. She regained her health and became an avid advocate of dieting and exercise. Dolly’s weight loss was recognised as a world record by the Guinness Book of World Records. / I guess I feel sort of betrayed by “Dolly”, she was so gorgeous as a sideshow fat lady!
