“As an Asian Pacific Islander, representation matters. Seeing a character that resembles me in appearance and culture inspired me to pursue portraying Maui. When I first saw the marketing for Moana, I instantly felt a connection to Maui, and I just knew that with my craftsmanship skills and performance abilities, I’d be able to breathe life into this character. I spent months searching for stretch fabric that matches my skin tone as close as possible, with respect to adapting Maui to me, rather than putting on a cultural costume. I spent over 50 hours meticulously hand-inking all of the tattoos based on the designs in the book The Art of Moana, using fabric inks. I sewed two wigs together to create Maui’s voluminous hair, and used natural clay and twine to replicate his bone necklace. His magic fish hook took over 30 hours of work, from foam fabrication, carving and painting. To create that Disney magic, I learned to program and wire around 1,000 lights through Arduino to give Maui’s hook that powerful glow. I source and painted the leaves and sewed them with my Singer Heavy Duty sewing machine. The response from Disney fans of all ages has been incredible, with parents Skyping their children and having me sing “You’re Welcome” to them. To be able to take folks out of the ordinary and have them experience the extraordinary is very fun. To compete in the Crown Championships of Cosplay, and be recognized with a 2nd Place win by a panel of special effects artists and industry figures simply topped off the experience. Cosplay is a blend of science and art, and being able to develop my craftsmanship skills and partner them with my performance abilities creates a magical experience. I thrive in these little pockets of shared sunshine where we can step outside of our ordinary lives and create the world we’ve imagined. In addition, being a plus-size cosplayer has encouraged many to be more body-positive and accepting of themselves and others.“ — Canvas Cosplay Maui from Moana Photo : Jason Laboy Photography

important PSA about when your car is smoking

like literally smoking from the engine

white and you smell pancakes? it’s the coolant. panic and pull over, but you’ll live

a slight blue tinge? it’s the oil. panic and pull over, but you’ll live

grey, looks like fire smoke? gasoline; the most combustable and dangerous. pull over and leave the vehicle, pray.

sharing because i didn’t know this when my car started smoking white yesterday and i was so afraid for my life.

Strange Fruit, Volume II: More Uncelebrated Narratives from Black History (2018)

“Strange Fruit Volume II: More Uncelebrated Narratives from Black History” is a collection of stories from early African American history that represent the oddity of success in the face of great adversity. Each of the eight illustrated chapters chronicles an uncelebrated African American hero or event.

Joel Christian Gill offers historical and cultural commentary on heroes whose stories are not often found in history books, such as Cathay Williams, the only known female buffalo soldier, and Eugene Bullard, a fighter pilot who flew for France during World War II. These beautifully illustrated stories offer a refreshing look at remarkable African Americans.

Joel Christian Gill is the Chair of Foundations at the New Hampshire Institute of Art and recipient of the 2016 Boston University College of Fine Arts Alumni Award. He wrote the words and drew the pictures in “Strange Fruit, Volume I: Uncelebrated Narratives from Black History”, “Bass Reeves: Tales of the Talented Tenth, Volume 1”, and “Bessie Stringfield: Tales of the Talented Tenth, Volume 2”.

Joel received his MFA from Boston University and a BA from Roanoke College. His secret lair is behind a secret panel in the kitchen of his house (sold separately) in New Boston, New Hampshire.

My heroine at work with one of my fave actors!! *swoon*

I got a chance to interview @andyserkis who plays Ulysses Klaue in @blackpanther for @syfy duribg the @blackpanther press junkett. He is honestly one of the sweeetest people I’ve ever met. His love for acting in all it’s mediums is evident when you speak with him. And his excitement for the film is palpable. In case you don’t know Setkis is known for his motion capture work and has played Caesar from #planetoftheapes Gollum from #lordoftherings Snope in #thelastjedi and King Kong (2005). . . . #theblerdgurl #syfywire #blackpanther #blackpantherpremiere #press #losangeles #andyserkis #klaw #klaue #blackheroesmatter #comics #superheroes #art #representationmatters #starwars #lastjedi http://ift.tt/2ntmiwH
