Okay so now that I have that out of the way, I'm so excited to make this announcement. For quite some time now, I've been creating artwork for the purpose of trying to sell it, or for someone else. It's been a while since I created a piece that was just for my own enjoyment. I think that now is the perfect time for me to do that. Anyone who truly knows me... knows just how much I'm a fan-girl over Disney Princesses. Especially when they're recreated by other artists and they look more....edgy, i.e. the "Disney Punk/Hipster Princesses"! If you're still not following me, I mean THIS version of Disney:
Pretty badass right?! Well I've always wanted to tackle this one particular character. I don't feel as though she gets the credit she needs even though in the Disney film, she is CLEARLY labeled as a princess. I like to think of her as the "forgotten" princess. Who am I talking about? This lovely little flower here:
THAT'S RIGHT!!!
TIGER LILY UP IN THIS BIOTCH!!!
Of course, I will be doing my own depiction of her. How could I not?! She is one of my favorites because she didn't get a lot of time to shine, but when she DID... OMG did she show out! Captain Hook wanna tie me up? Toss me overboard?! I ain't stressin'... I'm Tiger Lily. Better ask about me son!
Growing up, I always imagined that's what was running through her head. I mean... look at her pic. She's calm, cool, and collected! My kinda princess. So I'm very excited to start on this project. Knowing myself the way that I do, I'm seeing a slightly older version, tattoos, face paint, definite attitude, maybe a peace pipe or two lol and a sexy edge about her. Planning on recording my process as well so you can all enjoy this project with me. Stay tuned. It's about to get NATIVE up in here!
Keep Creating,
<3 Karii J.
