Many, many, many, many, many hours later, my capstone project is complete: a mall full of my favorite guys!

Not gonna wax too poetic about my creative process because that's what the artist statement is for, but I will say that this was the most involved, ambitious, and creatively fulfilling piece I've ever gotten to do. OCs, cartoon characters, video game protagonists, DnD player characters, we've got it all here! Each of these characters is special to me in one way or another, and I had an absolute blast cramming them all into one canvas.

Tumblr got nowhere near displaying the full image so I had to condense the hell out of it to get the whole thing on there. If you want a closeup of any character in full resolution just sent me an ask! I would love to hold my little guys up to the camera for you :)

And yeah I'm gonna tag every piece of media represented. If you're seeing this in your tag, one of your fellas is in here somewhere!

I see nothing but the candle in the mirror,

No visions of the future, so lost and alone...

Redraw of this piece from late 2020. I spent way more time on this than I would care to admit. Also I don't know why it looks so orange on mobile???

paul propaganda

Paul is a guy who Does Not Like Musicals. He’s pretty damn autistic and has a crush on a barista at a coffee shop (to the point he walks an extra block to go to that cafe instead of Starbucks). Then there’s the Musical Zombie Apocalypse. He throws a grenade at a meteor. Nearly got to kiss his crush but then she threw up blood on him. Truly a man

helene propaganda

first thing we learn about her is that she's a slut second is that her primary form of entertainment is trying to manipulate an engaged young woman into having an affair with her brother. on the edge of divorce for the entire musical. genuinely kind of a bad person but she's a milf so it's ok

As much as I wish Great Comet ran on broadway forever and ever and got the chance to tour, I do think that seeing all these regional and local theatre productions pop up all over the place do batshit insane things is really how the show is meant to live on <3

#anyways i'm seeing it at the end of the year and EEEEEEE #natasha pierre and the great comet of 1812 #npatgco1812 #dave malloy #malloysicals

One thing I find fascinating about Great Comet is the way characters talk about the war. Their tone tends to be light when mentioning it, but there's a repressed gravity behind their words. They don't want the war to come to them, so they hide behind jewels and fashion and operas. But it impacts every path that every character takes. The very first lyrics in Prologue are "there's a war going on out there somewhere". The war is happening, that's not debatable, but it's "out there, somewhere".

Natasha lets her anxiety show, but it's centered around Andre. She would have near the same worries if he were away on anything else. She misses him and loves him (which is a topic for a whole other post) fiercely. Additionally, when she brings these fears up to Marya in Moscow, Marya quickly changes the topic to dresses and games.

The only real time the war is brought up with real severity and anxiety is when Andre finally comes home. In Pierre & Andre, Andre repeats the line "there's a war going on". This time, he drops the "out there, somewhere". He knows exactly where the war is and knows that it's not something to speak lightly of. This line gives me chills, both for it's delivery and the way it wraps up the opening motif.

I never had the chance to see the show in person, but from what I've heard, this effect is magnified by the decoration of the hallway leading to the theater. The hallway is desolate and cold, with recruitment posters and propaganda on the walls. But then you enter the theater and it is lush and luxurious. The war is happening out there. Not here. We can't let it happen here, and we will prevent it through head-on denial.

Sorry this took so long 😭😭😭 I'll try to do Moscow faster but no promises bc life is busy. Also I can't think of a better way to post these on tumblr but if you need a more accessible version let me know and I can email you a copy of the document or something.

Being a theatre nerd is fun - you'll have songs from the musical adaptation of a 2001 film about a sorority girl studying law at Harvard playing in your head before watching a live Italian-language opera production of an early Jacobean-era tragedy loosely based on the history of an 11th century Scottish king, then go home to read fanfic about late 19th century child labourers in the US and another chapter of the big book about early 19th century Russian nobility and military. And you'll love all these things
