Andy Warhol’s Polaroids
With the invention of the [Polaroid]Big Shot, Warhol finally had the tool he needed to combine his two great loves, celebrity and mass-produced art, and turn them into a money-making machine. Once he developed his process of using the Polaroids to create silk-screened portraits, he immediately embarked on the creation of the artworks that he has become most famous for.
“Andy would have a table stacked with boxes of Polaroids and a couple Big Shot cameras. He would shoot and shoot, saying things like, “Oh! That looks so greeeeaaat.” An assistant would lay the images out on the table. Many dozens would be shot and they would pick one and send it to the screen maker. The sittings back then in the early 1980s were $25,000 each. They were backlogged with clients for months.” – Mark Sink

Mermaid AU starter for @devildungeondm
"Oh come off it, Henderson, you know that the fresh air is so much more enjoyable than being stuck in the palace." Steve had shot at who he considered his best friend, who also just happened to work for him and be the one to keep tabs on him, but Steve hardly cared about that. Dustin had been complaining that he needed to focus more on not being such a 'rebellious little shit' - his words, not Steves - but Steve knew that he was tired of all that palace life. Everything his father wanted for him, to form him into this perfect Prince. No, Steve wanted freedom to be himself.
"Besides, it's just one day at sea. One. It isn't like I'm kidnapping you for a week or anything. I just was tired of having to listen to my dad bitch and moan about how I needed to start taking more responsibility, settling down, all that shit. I'm still young. I should be able to find love when it's ready to find me." He knew, in all actuality, that Dustin agreed with him. He could see it from the way that his eyes glimmered in his own mischief - he just needed to do what King Harrington said in terms of keeping tabs on Prince Steven.
Steve was practically leaning over the railing at this point, allowing the salty air of the open sea to hit all his senses, eyes closed as he took it all in. "None of this changes the fact that a storm is very clearly coming, Steve. We should get home before it hits." Dustin had been eye-ing the weather nervously, the way the dark clouds were rolling over the horizon, competing with the blue of the ocean. Steve, ever ignorant in his bliss, simply shook his head. "It will be fine, man. We'll be home long before it reaches us."
He clapped the other on the back, moving back across the expanse of ship with a confident grin. "We've got time." He reassured, kicking his shoes off, not because he had any intention to hop into the murky fathoms below, but because he wanted to feel less prim and proper, and feel that sense of independence. Rolling his pants up to his knees, he sat down on the edge of boat that opened up to water, crossing arms under his chin and supporting himself as he looked out. "It's like a whole new world out there, Henderson. We don't even know what's down there. Like sure, there's fish. But is that really all?"

Does Cal often do hair flips? I mean... why not? (Is this a ploy to see more of Cal and his hair? Yes, yes it is)
I had actually animated this ages ago and put it on the back burner because I wasn't happy with it, but I looked at it today and realized it wasn't that bad, haha.
So! Funny story. Calvin was originally based off of hockey boys I knew (and couldn't stand) circa 2005-7 in rural hellberta school. At the time mullets were out of fashion, but the contemporary hockey hair of the day was usually on the longer side and seemed almost deliberately cut so that anyone sporting it would have to twitch their head every couple of minutes in this particularly spastic, annoying af way in order to see anything. This animation was based on me trying to mimic it (though of course I don't have 2000s Hockey Hair lol, I'd say it was maybe an inch or so longer than zac efron's was during that time and would curl up slightly at the ends, if that helps- or more accurately it was a lot like that chad dylan cooper guy!) (this said, it was NOT like emo/scene hair, which was considered an uncool "gay" haircut despite being quite similar in retrospect).
In Calvin's first design (ca. 2010) he had short hair with long bangs that grew into that 2005 hockey hair and eventually into the full 1970s hockey mullet you see today, partly because the blond mullet is kind of a Calgary stereotype and partly because when my friends would draw fan art of him they drew him with longer hair!
