[dimeadozencows]

Assorted ramb doodles from the past few weeks (before I burnt out lol)

Treat this like that bag of old mixed nuts you find in the back of the cupboard when you're looking for a snack and even though it's months old it's still kinda good cus it's got a ton of salt on it

[ryemackerel]

I saw your ‘reblog vs likes’ post you reblogged and just wanted to let you know I so appreciate you sharing your art here I know it must feel discouraging not getting the amount of notes your art deserves just wanted to stop by and say that you’re SO good at what you do, your style is so unique and so gorgeous if I had to describe it in one word I’d say it’s Enchanting <3

I’m genuinely so thankful for this dude holy shit, I can’t express how much this made me happy. Thank you man, seriously. <:] I’m really really happy for the people that appreciate my work. No kidding, I think I needed to hear this from another person today haha. <33 Thank you, kind friend.

Going to go a bit on a tangent, but I definitely wanted to talk about that post :-] Might get a bit sentimental from here.

Tumblr has definitely been a rocky hill for me to understand. I’m still trying to understand how to grow my artwork and reach more folks on this platform, but seriously, it’s been *real* difficult! A lot of artists like getting their hard work out there, but as it always is on social media, it can be real tough actually appealing to the algorithm and, in general, growing online. I think we can all agree social media can be pretty shitty, hah.

I’ve been posting art on social media for a decade, and only started taking it seriously around 2019? Definitely a really long time, I was only but a wee lad learning what Instagram was! Knowing what it’s like posting art online, it has its ups when you meet cool people and find cool people who like your art, and downs when things don’t really pick up as much as they used to. That, and the way social media makes you think differently about the way you make your art.

“What post is going to make the algorithm like me more?” “This artist with a bajillion followers is waay better than me.” “Why is this post not getting a lot of interactions?”

And yeah, in a way I’m calling myself out here BAHAHA! BUT STILL! Even when you put a lot of effort in your content, the algorithm isn’t going to always pick it up. Especially when it’s on Tumblr, where there isn’t *much* of an algorithm, I feel most folks have to rely on people actually engaging with their content and reblogging it. Even if yeah, the interactions you get don’t define your worth as an artist (AND BELIEVE ME THEY REALLY DON’T! People out there make genuinely GORGEOUS stuff and don’t get more than 2 likes!), it can suck not really getting anywhere. And over time (and I’m guilty of this for sure BAHA!), it can be easy to rely on em for validation.

I guess all the things you have to do to grow an audience (eg directly interacting with more people/starting conversations, making more art, getting your art out there in general) can be scary, stressful even. Take it from me, I never approach many people these days unless they’re actually someone that I can trust, and being an introvert online, I never approach folks unless they approach me. I usually just like quietly posting my art and seeing if anybody’s interested! And whenever people actually are, and whenever people tell me they appreciate my art, it makes my heart blossom. <3

You folks make my day lots, and they mean the whole world, even when it’s the smallest compliment on a new piece :-] I like screenshotting all the sweetest inbox messages, replies, reblogs, and Insta stories/comments people leave. At this point I should have an album for all of them, but my gallery is a mess LMAOOAJASO

Even if it’s harder now to get a post with good interactions nowadays, I’m genuinely thankful there’s even the smallest bit of people out there who love my art. Even the folks who read through my insanely long captions, or leave a small comment or message, make cool fanart, or just like my art in general! THE LIST GOES ON! Hugest most loveliest most incredible shoutout to all of you folks. Again, if I could give a hug to each and every 5k follower here, 8k on Insta? 13 THOUSAND PEOPLE IN TOTAL MAN!! 13 THOUSAND HUGS!! THAT’S FUCKING AWESOME!!! I’D STILL HUG EVERYONE! THANK YOU TIMES THIRTEEN THOUSAND!

Hell dude, even if social media can be hellish to wrestle with, it’s allowed me to meet and befriend so so so many of the coolest of the coolest people.

Bring it all in folks, we’re all gonna do a group hug of thirteen thousand people all at once. Who volunteers to be in the middle? Not me, I’d get CRUSHED HAHAHAHAA! Send in your digital hugs, we’e doing a group hug right here right NEEOOOWWW! 🫂 🫂 🫂

Sorry for the insanely long response to your message dude HABABAHSGSHAHAG sending ya lots and lots of love. :-] Thank you so much for your message man. <3

Blood On The Tracks

Released: 20 January 1975

Rating: 10/10

Often regarded as Dylan’s greatest album, and potentially the greatest album of all time, it’s hard to disagree. Released on Columbia Records following Bob starting a relationship with an employee whilst his marriage to Sara was crumbling following the 1974 tour, the record is actually two different recording sessions. One was in New York, with a much more mellow feel, the other was in Minneapolis with a backing band, following Dylan’s brother stating that the New York songs sounded too similar. Whilst the original recordings are available on the Bootleg Series Vol. 14: More Blood, More Tracks, and are fucking fantastic in their own right, the final product is a thing of inconceivable genius. It’s an album that perfectly captures the turbulence of divorce, love, longing, and self reflection, and is easily the most beautifully written collection of songs ever released.

1) Tangled Up In Blue - Once again, Bob opens the album with one his best ever compositions. A non-linear tale of love and loss which would rival the postmodern writing style of Kerouac and Ginsberg. The story he tells here is both sweet and tragic, filled with nostalgia and longing for a companion. Potentially partially biographical in nature, the lyrics are among his very best, relatively simple at face value, but filled with references and meaning that could take a lifetime to fully digest. His voice continues to sound more mature and even quite commercial, though his brilliant nasal twang is still present, particularly when he hits the title line. This Minneapolis version is astonishing, it may be the perfect song, though the slower and more chilled out New York recording is equally as brilliant. Although for me the defining performance is the one found on his 1984 live album ‘Real Live’, which completely alters most of the lyrics, something Bob carries on doing to this day.

2) Simple Twist Of Fate - A beautiful track about the cruel nature of fate and losing a soul mate. The song talks of the life cycle of a relationship, through metaphor and abstract imagery that wouldn’t be amiss on ‘Blonde On Blonde’, and feels like a dream sequence that ends with waking up alone and confused. The walking bass in the background and soft acoustic strumming create a relaxed and almost floaty tune that only elevates the vivid lyrics. As this is the ‘divorce’ album, the song ends with the lover being gone and Dylan deep in regret, and whilst he says this record is based on the work of Chekhov, I believe this is how Bob viewed and dealt with his separation. Sara came into his life through fate, and he let her slip through his fingers, it’s a moving song that is drenched in a need to understand the confusing and painful side of love.

3) You’re A Big Girl Now - Bob is begging for forgiveness here, promising to change and asking to be taken back as he sings through tears. I do take issue with the idea of Bob saying it pains him to see Sara walking away from him given his infidelity, however he does accept that it is entirely her decision and he is pleading his case. Ultimately, despite the brilliant performance Bob gives of desperation and pain, along with some great piano and guitar playing from his band, I do think this is the weakest song on the album due to the lyrics bordering on self pitying. It’s still a great song, I just don’t think Dylan comes across the best here. The rest of the record focuses on either anger, sadness, or regret, whereas here it seems he’s focusing on himself and almost being absolved of his own wrongdoings.

4) Idiot Wind - Though Bob claims this isn’t about the causes of the breakdown of his marriage, I think we all can take that to mean that it definitely is. It also happens to be the best song on the album, Bob is snarling his way through an epic poem of accusations and falsehoods, betrayal and bitterness. It harks back to his finger pointing songs of 10 years earlier, and it doesn’t hold punches against the press and those who had been circulating rumours about both him and Sara. It’s fucking amazing, Bob sounds genuinely enraged and yet also confused at the exaggerated actions he’s having to defend or downplay. Not only are the lyrics both chaotic and fascinating, the organ playing is superb. Throughout the 7:47 minute song, every time Bob sings ‘Idiot Wind’ it’s like a direct insult to those who meddled in his relationship, as well as another nail in the coffin of his once happy marriage.

5) You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go - It’s been argued as to whom was making Bob lonesome, is it Sara or his Columbia girlfriend? Either way, it’s quite a happy sounding song that’s actually a heartbreaking tale of loss and reluctance to accept life moving on. Bob invokes the poets Verlaine and Rimbaud’s turbulent relationship, with Bob very much being the Rimbaud of the 20th Century, to describe the breakdown of love and happiness leading to feeling alone and self-reflection. As with the whole album, the backing band sound great alongside Bob’s relaxed vocal style and joyous harmonica, and the song creates a tragic feeling of putting on a brave, upbeat facade as life goes on. It’s undeniably becoming much sadder and, as the title suggests, much more lonesome, but Bob attempts to carry on and learn from his mistakes. It’s a hard message to convey in under 3 minutes, but Bob’s pained and honest writing from this period manages it perfectly.

6) Meet Me In The Morning - Musically, this is the best song on the album. All the instruments have a brilliant bluesy feel to them, and Dylan’s voice matches this style, with his nasal tone elongating phrases and making him sound like the blues singers of old. From what I can gather, the protagonist of the song is asking his lover to a rendezvous, but waits from dawn to dusk with no appearance from her. Throughout the song he wishes they could be elsewhere, and compares his love and longing to the darkness of the night and the setting of the sun. It’s a difficult song to unpack as Dylan is the master of mysterious and metaphorical storytelling, but understanding every line really doesn’t matter here. The song itself is a joy to listen to, proving that Dylan shouldn’t just be applauded for his lyricism, but also his ability to compose and record with various musicians to achieve a specific and memorable sound.

7) Lily, Rosemary And The Jack Of Hearts - I’ll quickly mention that Dylan and his harmonica sound amazing on this song, as do the backing band who evoke the sound and atmosphere of the cabarets of old. However, it would be impossible to do the lyrics to this song justice in one small paragraph. This song is the ‘Desolation Row’ of the album, a sprawling epic poem featuring a host of characters in various criminal and romantic encounters. It’s an incredible piece of work, more interesting and exciting than most of what we see on the silver screen. I urge you to fully immerse yourself into the world Dylan creates here, as for nearly 9 minutes, he and his band weave a perfect story worthy of Homer.

8) If You See Her, Say Hello - This song reminds me of ‘Girl From The North Country’. It’s about passing on well wishes to a former lover, letting them know you’re still thinking about them, even though they’ve left your life and moved on. The lyrics are heartbreaking, as Bob remarks that the love still burns within him, but he wants to ensure this information isn’t passed on to her. A brilliantly moving and desperate song once again, with another beautiful backing arrangement and a pained voice longing to rekindle what he has lost.

9) Shelter From The Storm - A love song that focuses on being saved, clearly Bob is talking about Sara and his needing to be rescued from the hurricane of fame, drugs, and parting of 1965 when they met. It’s a romantic story featuring religious imagery, showing Bob’s true feelings towards how he viewed himself and the period of life that was now being ripped apart by his actions. The near angelical way he describes Sara, and his ending thoughts on how he still feels about her nurturing and caring personality, are a far cry from some of the earlier tracks on the album, but this feels like perhaps the most personal song on the record. The stripped back instrumentation allow the bittersweet lyrics to take centre stage, with Bob again sounding much more mature and accessible with his relaxed vocal style. Whilst this version is incredible, I’d also recommend the live 1976 recording on ‘Hard Rain’. The song is much rockier, Bob barks the lyrics, and it sounds fucking brilliant.

10) Buckets Of Rain - The album closes with a genuinely lovely track, both simple and sweet as it addresses a lover. The melody is delicate and Dylan’s singing is soft and full of warmth. There’s not much else to say about this beautiful song, other than it feels like Bob showing us that there is light at the end of the tunnel, and that everything will work out in the end.

Verdict: I could happily just listen to this album until the day I die. If Dylan going electric is the most important musical moment of the 1960s, then this release is the 1970s equivalent. It’s pure art, it captures a feeling most struggle to internally process, let alone articulate in such a poetic and moving way at only 33 years old. The lyricism on this one record alone proves Bob is the greatest poet of the 20th Century. Even the outtakes from this album, especially ‘Up To Me’, are better than most artists creative peak. This may be Dylan’s most personal record (despite his insistence that it is not autobiographical), and I imagine it will be studied for centuries to come as his magnum opus. In typical Bob style, he would bizarrely head out on an exhaustive tour called the ‘Rolling Thunder Revue’, playing at small venues with a band that resembled a circus show, whilst his family life continued to disintegrate. But before he managed to capture the spirit of these carnival-esque performances, he gave permission for some mythical recordings from 1967 to finally be released.

[sleepy-strawberry]

multiples of three for the asks!! (like 3,6,9 etc!)

ooo this gonna be a long long boys *knuckle crack*

tw for slight nsfw talk/jokes

❁ 3: Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 23, give me line 17.

"He wore a work glove on his left hand, and, like the boss, he wore high heeled boots."

- Of Mice and Men: John Steinbeck

❁ 6: Do you sleep with or without clothes on?

normally with em on. though if it's wicked hot and humidity, I can't keep the tank top; I've slept only in my undies on a few occasions.

❁ 9: Ever had a poem or song written about you?

not really- I've had nsfw paragraphs written by a past partner that we're about me and stuff, but I don't really count em as poems; just really horny jcjfjk

❁ 12: Ever stuck a foreign object up your nose?

the end of a sharpie marker (I was like 12 fuck off jfjfj)

❁ 15: Do you prefer to be behind the camera or in front of it?

that depends. though I guess outta the two it would be in front: more specifically, in like a video essay style where I pop up to talk about a clip I just showed or something. just rambling and letting myself get animated- that kinda thing.

❁ 18: Do you believe in karma?

not really? shit just kinda happens- you can the biggest asshole and deserve your ass beat, yet you're living your damn best life just cause you we're lucky enough to be born into a rich family, or you could just be incredible lucky.

and vice versa; you could be just doing your best and being so kind while getting by, and still get the short end of the stick. sometimes, karma does pop up, but honestly, that's just by pure chance.

❁ 21: Who is your celebrity crush?

this took me a sec to remember, but then this bitch pops in my head and

❁ 24: Do you have a collection of anything?

sure do!! I've been collecting pins since middle school- I used to have way more, but I've downsized and given away many pins as gifts over the years- first photo is the bulk of my collection, and the second are my personal favorite pins! can't wait to get more in the future ngjgji🍓

❁ 27: What’s a sound you hate; sound you love?

angry yelling or arguing; my boyfriend's snores💕

❁ 30: Stick your right arm out; what do you touch first? Do the same with your left arm.

my kaboodle for right, and the wall/astrology tapestry for left!

❁ 33: Choose: East Coast or West Coast?

east for sure; it's where I'm from and there's still a lot of places from that side I haven't visited

❁ 36: Define Art.

self expression! that's the short answer I suppose. the longer answer is also pretty straightforward, but has a lil more layer to it:

it's essentially creating something that has some kind of meaning or idea behind it. and even if someone says there's no meaning behind what they made, that's still technically a meaning, since there can be something philosophical to say about something with no meaning at all. mainly because even random ideas have a story behind em.

❁ 39: What time is it?

as of typing, 8:04 pm.

❁ 42: Do you like the smell of gasoline?

😔yeah, but it's more of a nostalgic kind of liking- like whenever I do smell it, I'll either think about trips to the gas station when I was little, or my dad.

❁ 45: What’s the worst injury you’ve ever had?

I've been lucky enough to not have any serious injuries- I've only been to the hospital for minor things like a painful sore hip (it was from a a horrific spring mattress), or digestion related issues like constipation or diarrhea. that's about it though

❁ 48: What’s your sexual orientation?

I'm bisexual! (: just a big ol fruit, nothin else to see here

❁ 51: Do you tend to hold grudges against people who have done you wrong?

that usually depends on what they've done and what part they've played in my life- if it's something minor and the person apologizes to me and shows me they do have genuine remorse, I can forgive them somewhat easily.

so I noticed it's my family I have a harder time forgiving- specifically my mother, half brother, and grandmother. there's been times where they have apologized for the way they've treated me, but they end up immediately reverting back to they're shitty behavior, and then blame me when I start making boundaries.

so I guess the short answer is yeah bjhky- it takes a lot to piss me off and hold a grudge, and once that happens, it's going to take a lot of work and genuine guilt for what you've done to me to even let me consider forgiving you. idk, that's just how it is.

❁ 54: What’s the last thing you purchased?

these puppies!!

they were my roommate, they're her favorite n i wanted to surprise her!!

❁ 57: How many relationships have you had?

four as of late! I'm currently with my fourth partner- we've been together for over a year now; it's been one hell of a ride, nd honestly I couldn't be happier 😔💕💕🔪

❁ 60: Is there anything pink within 10 feet of you?

yeah! my hoodie actually- tho it's a dark dusty pink, but my blanket is a really soft pink so I feel like that counts more?

❁ 63: What is your secret weapon to get someone to like you?

just being super duper nice and helpful; and also just be myself, but that sweet side of me that wants to give you snacks and little gifts all the time- I find it that's the quickest way to do it bjbjj💕💕

❁ 66: What is your heritage?

French Canadian on my mom's side, and then German on my dad's side. nothing too special honestly.

❁ 69: Be honest. Ever gotten yourself off?

I mean technically??? like whenever I first experienced shower shenanigans with the shower head, the fantasies that would come into my head would literally just be me on the bed naked and masturbating, and not much else. though looking back, I guess I was just getting off more at the experience and then myself.

❁ 72: You are at the doctor’s office and she has just informed you that you have approximately one month to live. a) Do you tell anyone/everyone you are going to die? b) What do you do with your remaining days? c) Would you be afraid?

a.) yeah I would- I guess I wouldn't want the death to be sudden for those that I care about. it would be painful for everyone, but that just gives me and those that I care about a chance to try our best and make my last month worthwhile.

b.) I know for a fact for at least a week, I'd go on a little road trip with my boyfriend and my closest friends- we'd visit little shops and go camping at some point. I don't have to do anything big like skydiving or anything- I just want to visit some places, try some new food and revisit favorites, and finally go camping- I used to go camping all the time when I was little, and the last time I went camping was several years ago. it'd be nice to be able to do that before I head off.

c.) I wouldn't be afraid per say, just, really upset and pissed. there's still a lot of stuff I want to do before I pass, so having a cut short would be really stressful for both myself and my loved ones that I keep around in my life. idk- I'd be a whole struggle that I'm just trying to get through well dealing with basically morning over myself. I'm not afraid of dying, I'm just afraid what's going to happen to me after and where I'll be.

❁ 75: What are the last four digits in your cell phone number?

❁ 78: Can insanity bring on more creativity?

if I wanted to, sure. but if I force myself to be creative it's just going to ultimately give me burnout- so I just let myself be creative whenever if it's into my time or whatever I'm doing, whether it's a hobby or my culinary work.

❁ 81: What would you want to be written on your tombstone?

"and though many attempted to slaughter her spirits, it was her resilience that won, and ultimately bludgeoned theirs."

it's not a quote from anywhere, just the first thing that came to my head.

❁ 84: What is a saying you say a lot?

"howdy" as my default greeting

❁ 87: What is your current desktop picture?

found it on google images, it's actually art for a puzzle !

❁ 90: One night you wake up because you heard a noise. You turn on the light to find that you are surrounded by MUMMIES. The mummies aren’t really doing anything, they’re just standing around your bed. What do you do?

bro I'd literally piss myself-- I'd be too scared and kick these bitches out of the way too fast to run out to even realize they aren't really doing anything. I'm not fucking with that ydufuf

❁ 93: You can erase any horrible experience from your past. What will it be?

my dad throwing away my toys when we stopped visiting him on the weekends. I never saw the incident, but my mom was speaking to a neighbor of my dad's at the time, and he witnessed him just throwing out a bunch of toys. and I know for a fact that's why I never got to have or see cotton candy again (she was an old pink teddy bear of mine)- jfc that situation was too fucking traumatic for me, and absolutely preventable 🔪🔪

❁ 96: Do you have any relatives in jail?

no, none that I'm aware of at least- I'm pretty sure no one on my mom's side of the family's in jail, but I don't have a clue about my dad's side.

❁ 99: If the whole world were listening to you right now, what would you say?

hhfkjl god idfk- uuuh maybe "to all the homophobic and transphobic parents; when you're on your deathbed, just know your kids aren't going to help you for shit, and very likely to spit on your grave. I don't care if you gave them life, because you gave them a shitty one, and and they're just going to return the favor. and if they somehow stay by your side- yeah I have a feeling they're going to add something to your tea so you can leave faster 🔪"

This Woman Reimagined Michelangelo's "The Creation Of Adam"

With Black Women  * And It's Beautiful

Michelangelo who?

Posted on May 16, 2017 Michael Blackmon - BuzzFeed News Reporter

This is Harmonia Rosales, a 33-year-old artist living in Chicago.

"I was raised in a creative environment," she said. Rosales also noted that "artistic expression was floating in the air" in her household growing up. Her mother is an artist and her father, a musically inclined guy, played the congas. 

Rosales credited her parents for sparking her interest in the arts. "Kids imitate their parents and my parents were great models for me. I repeated visuals of my mother hunched over her art table churning out illustration after illustration starting with a blank canvas and a vision of a full one. I often would crawl under my mother's art table and track her movements, her brushstrokes, her ideas, her illustrations. She would let me experiment with all her expensive oils and brushes, never once telling me what to paint or how, but letting me find my own style."

One of Rosales' pieces, which she calls "The Creation of God" recently went viral.

The piece is based on Michelangelo 's "The Creation of Adam," famously displayed in the Sistine Chapel. "I wanted to take a significant painting, a widely recognized painting that subconsciously or consciously conditions us to see white male figures as powerful and authoritative and flip the script, establish a counter narrative," she told BuzzFeed News, elaborating on why she decided to make reimagine the well-known work of art with black women.

Says Rosales, "White figures are a staple in classic art featured in major museums. They are the 'masters' of the masterpieces. Why should that continue?

Replacing the white male figures — the most represented— with people I believe have been the least represented can begin to recondition our minds to accept new concepts of human value. ... If I can touch even a small group of people and empower them through the power of art, then I've succeeded in helping to change the way we see the world. ... And when you consider that all human life came out of Africa, the Garden of Eden and all, then it only makes sense to paint God as a black woman, sparking life in her own image." "In the essence of Picasso, my whole life," Rosales said when asked how long it took her to create her latest piece. "Every skill, life experience, and emotion has led me straight to this particular piece and every piece thereafter."

And the way in which her ideas form, and the way she's acted on them, is a very organic process.

"I have an idea, it might not be fully thought out, but first the idea. Then I let it marinate. Often I'll place a blank canvas by my bed so that I may wake up and sleep to it. And, while I sleep, it speaks to me," Rosales said. She also said that she doesn't sketch her creations, everything happens at once on the canvas by which they are brought to life. "My subjects morph and their expressions change as they speak to me and reveal themselves to me. Sometimes I will go over an area multiple times until they virtually come to life." Rosales' work definitely has a recurring theme: women of color. "I paint women darker than me because I want no one to mistake who I'm representing. I paint what I know, who I identify with," she told BuzzFeed News.

We have been underrepresented and misrepresented for so long that I feel I should paint to empower us. We need powerful images for our youth to see." Her daughter is another reason why Rosales is passionate about the work she does. "I want my daughter to grow up proud of her curls and coils, her brown skin, and for her to identify as a woman of color, a woman of value."

What I do with my art contributes to the way she and all other little girls like her will come to recognize themselves."

Rosales' "The Creation of God" will be part of an exhibited series in the near future.

She also plans to work with fellow artist Aldis Hodge on a series about persecution that will debut at the end of the year. "This particular series will relate to the masses," she said.

Critics Disgusted With Artist’s Painting of God As a Black Woman

By: Seth D. Mills  - May. 31, 2017

The painting (above photo) The Creation of God by artist Harmonia Rosales of Chicago has caused a lot of controversy throughout the last 3 weeks. Since it was first shared on Instagram, the painting has had at least 7,000 likes.

But some people on Twitter have called it a “disgrace”, while others stated that it was “cultural appropriation” and “disgusting”. In The Creation of God, Harmonia showed God as a black woman touching the hand of another black woman, much like The Creation of Adam by Michelangelo.

Harmonia said the painting was meant to show that “we have created God in our own image. So ‘God’ is whoever we want God to be, a representation of the ideal, of the divine, of wisdom and love and pure creativity.”

But not everyone agrees.

What do you think? Did she go too far?

http://www.wbls.com/news/d%C3%A9j%C3%A0-vu-afternoon/critics-disgusted-artist%E2%80%99s-painting-god-black-woman

Hannah Marie there are so many people in these comments that think they know what they are talking about but really don't. culturally appropriating something is taking something from another culture saying "it's mine i created it" profiting from and creating an entirely new meaning, while the (almost always) disadvantaged are left in the same position having their object devalued for the same things that are valued in said appropriated object. you can't culturally appropriate an image like this, it's literally impossible. if that was so then there are hundreds/thousands of images that have been by musicians, directors, artists, everyday people god damn photo-shopping themselves into images. why can't y'all just see the beauty and let it be ---------------------* James   "Cultural appropriation is the adoption or use of the elements of one culture by members of another culture.[1] Cultural appropriation is sometimes portrayed as harmful, framed as cultural misappropriation, and claimed to be a violation of the collective intellectual property rights of the originating culture.[2][3][4][5] Often unavoidable when multiple cultures come together, cultural appropriation can include using other cultures' traditions, fashion, symbols, language, and cultural songs without permission" Its the definition of cultural appropriation. News Flash: You cant just make up your own definitions of things. ---------------------* Hannah Marie James Nino didn't make up a definition, i never said i defined what it was, i was giving informed examples. what did i say exactly that was wrong? ---------------------* Bon N Why can't you see the gross double standards at play ---------------------* Hannah Marie Bon Nord but why do you think it's cultural appropriation? just because it's got black people in it? (genuine question) ---------------------* Aaron L Hannah Marie-Nova St Jean maybe because she literally said white people shouldn't dominate classic art and then literally stole someone's theme for a piece? ---------------------* Hannah Marie Aaron Lonnergan and you think they should dominate???? seems bizarre to me as there are millions of people in the world and one race should dominate? and if you see the work of Warhol and other pop art artists you'll see there is a heavy tradition of using other peoples images and making them ones own while still referencing the original work (like she clearly has done) but the difference is that she isn't making millions from the work. and this image has been so widely used in so many different re-imaginations, where people make fun of and transpose whatever image they want on to it doesn't make sense for this image to be so contested as cultural appropriation when people have literally put Ronald McDonald in the position of god and an overweight person, there's a Simpsons version too i just think it doesn't make sense. people interpret and re-imagine images all the time, the issue comes when someone claims the work as their own, purely original idea. that's when issues begin to arise ---------------------* Nicholas S That last sentence right there - buzz Feed makes it nearly impossible. Last year one of their big topics was how a white girl with dreadlocks was stealing from another culture. And it's just idiotic. ---------------------* Pepe C   Everything is cultural appropriation now so everybody might as well stop crying about it. Just like everybody is racist now these words have no meaning anymore. ---------------------* Igor R Yet another cultural appropriation, sure. Or is it a parody as a form of flattery? Celebration of the absent fathers, spending time in prison, while the girls are being raised by their mothers in the 'hoods? Brown skin and coils is nothing to be proud of, unless you think just an abundance of melanin is something to be proud of. But melanin is not the magic powder, not the midichlorians to make you into a Jedi. So far what I am seeing is one second-rate painter apeing the great and original artist of the past, with unintentionally funny results. ---------------------* Mathew B Isn't this just cultural appropriation? ---------------------* Daniel Z Apparently not, you know, Europe doesn't have culture apparently ---------------------* Danni T She gave credit to Michelangelo so no it is not. 😌 ---------------------* James N Danni Turner So if a bunch of white people in black face doing racist skits give credit to Bojangles then its not cultural appropriation or racist right? I mean they gave credit... ---------------------* Danni T It's racist for black face due to the derogatory comparison of said black person, but it isn't appropriating because it was made by Caucasians. So if anything, if a minority donned black face or made their face darker it would be appropriating idiocy from said Caucasian race lol. However, I would like to see you adorn black face in an all black neighborhood. It would be an exquisite scene to watch. ---------------------* Maximus Autizmus Fucking hilarious. A white girl can't braid her hair but blacks can "re-imagine" one of the most iconic European masterpieces? Double standard much ---------------------*
