PhotoshopFebruary 2017
Last night I sort of broke my rule about making political comments on Instagram and some guy told me to "go back to [my] cave" and "enjoy Disney." You know, I think I will! At least the second one, as I don't have a cave, though I guess this guy does. ANYWAY, our kids love Maui's song, which has grown on me (though some of the lyrics still seem lazy), and his design has grown on me too (probably helped by doing these studies). The shapes! The tattoos... And a great subject for Manhair Monday, which is interesting because early design sketches show him as bald, surely inspired by The Rock.

Lovely work! I imagine the tattoos were no easy task.
On another note, how DO you deal with commenters who rub you the wrong way?

Thank you! Β And no, they were not! Β At first I was just going to kind of fudge them but then I was into it and they ended up taking as long as the rest of the sketching/painting put together!
And honestly, in recent years I have really toned down how I respond/react to people I disagree with (constant work in progress), so most of the time I just try to ignore them or avoid situations where I'll come across toxic people, but sometimes I just feel like something should be said, and then I try to be diplomatic but still say my piece, and then be done and clear out as soon as possible. Β Some people are too hostile and unresponsive to deal with or engage for extended periods, as I've learned over time.
Now, if someone is being toxic in MY space, that's another story. Β I don't really believe in censorship of ideas or words, especially since I really dislike when I'm silenced, and a lot of times people's words make themselves look worse than I ever could, but still, if things get out of hand on my turf I'll send someone on their way in no uncertain terms.

Well, that is very nice of you to say. Β I'm glad people are different, I just sometimes wish we weren't all SO different, ha ha. Β I'll do my best!!
