HELLO! i've started my own online shop! i'm selling some art books (68 pages) of art from 2020-2023 as well as a ton of random prints leftover from recent cons and my death note tarot set stuff, of course. go check it out :')
hello! i think your ella fue piece is gorgeous and i'd love to hear more about your inspo for it / the story behind it!
omg thank you so much... WHAT A NICE QUESTION?!
this is the piece for clarity's sake. i remember painting this piece in like 1-2 days and searching around for hours for inspo because i wanted to draw more environments in south america. i got caught up in a rio rabbithole and mashed a bunch of references together. of course there's a sapphic thing going on here. wanted to capture an earnest moment of seeing another girl walking by also holding a coconut. LMFAO.
also during that time (and now, still) i was becoming completely obsessed with fania all-stars and played their song "ella fue" over and over while drawing this. I FUCKING LOVE FANIA ALL-STARS. obviously they're not brasilian but the song is so beautifully performed and can be interpreted as many things because of the vagueness of the lyrics... was she the one, past tense? is she no longer the one? or is it a sort of act of narration as we, the listeners, are taken by the hand to peer at a moment in time where someone realized She was the one! like we're watching a movie? i feel more of the latter. the song feels like the beach when it's uncomfortably hot. a seemingly lighthearted but intense passion. y'know? similarly in my painting i wanted it to be up to interpretation. will the girl simply keep walking after looking, or will they speak and become friends. or something... more? LOL. need to draw more gay people on the beach in south america i think
