Tag As FavoriteComment		I've been prolific lately...well, unemployment'll do that to you. (Anybody need a staff artist, cheap?) After all that realism, I wanted something more intricately Art Nouveau...refreshing. 'Beauty and the Beast' is actually probably my least favorite fairy tale, for two main reasons--both related to the fact that he turns into a prince at the end. How lame is that? Handsome princes are a dime a dozen. A Beast, now--that has STYLE. (To be fair, Robin Mckinley did a great book 'Rose Daughter' where he stays a Beast.) Secondly, does anyone else find it just a little sketchy to tell young girls that the horrible monster you're living with will turn into a charming prince once you get married? Archetypes, archetypes...anyway. I had so much fun with the background on this one, I think I'll do another one. With irises, maybe.
