"When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe to hard...birds and beasts when brought to bay will use their claws and teeth."

"At first, then, exhibit the coyness of a maiden, until the enemy gives you an opening; afterwards emulate the rapidity of a running hare, and it will be too late for the enemy to oppose you."

(no, this is an expert from the art of war, not some problematic gl manga from the 70s)

Designs from school which need some polish. I was meant to be a furry artist but lost my way.

I take my animations *very* seriously. As you can see, each sequence is planned out in meticulous detail before the visuals are finalized. A nuanced understanding of the original ip is also noted...I would never under any circumstance even think of flattening the characters down to vapid caricatures of their worst traits.

If the pawn can survive long enough it has the potential to become the most powerful piece in the game.

It'll take a kings ransom to get there,

a knights move to see it through.

But what good is a queen, really, when the board is all empty?

When the castle turns back into bones!

This important volume, whose title combines Gertrude Stein’s famous motto, “Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose,” with the name of Marcel Duchamp’s feminine alter ego, Rrose Selavy, features portraits, self-portraits and photomontages in which the gender of the subject is highlighted through performance for the camera or through technical manipulation of the image. In many of the works, photography’s strong aura of realism and objectivity promotes a fantasy of total gender transformation. In other pieces, the photographic representation articulates an incongruity between the posing body and its assumed costume. Features work by Cecil Beaton, Brassai, Claude Cahun, Marcel Duchamp, Hannah Hàch, Man Ray, Janine Antoni, Matthew Barney, Nan Goldin, Lyle Ashton Harris, Robert Mapplethorpe, Annette Messager, Yasumasa Morimura, Catherine Opie, Lucas Samaras, Cindy Sherman, Inez van Lamsweerde and Andy Warhol.
