Although I didn’t quite complete the Iconic You assignment in the more minimalist spirit it was perhaps supposed to reflect, I am still SO. DARN. PROUD. of the work I did here. This might actually be my favorite project from the whole semester. I’m SO HAPPY with the balance here, the way I was able to add a little texture to the piece, and how nicely the emboss effect emphasized the design of the stars. Throughout the Riddle-Master Trilogy, the main protagonist, Morgon of Hed, is describe as having three blood-red stars across his brow. He was born with them, ...

I watched the most incredible TED talk last night. It was led by this super-intelligent Japanese high school student named Ami Mizuno. She was talking about the superheroine group the Sailor Senshi and how they reflect a more feminist, egalitarian and shame-free view of femininity, especially in the ways that femininity relates to literal power and personal agency. Needless to say I was floored. Crafting my Fantasy TED Talk ended up being really fun. : D I’ll take any excuse I can get to return to a favorite story. To say that Sailor Moon was a formative show for me ...
