Not only did I not get into a fight with a shitty little Seattle transphobe – but I did not attack the person who was talking shit about the Rocky Horror Picture Show not being “woke” enough.
RHPS doesn’t conform to the rigorous standards of trans representation that exist today because it was made in the 70’s.
For many people of my generation it was the first time we ever encountered the ideas of kink, bisexuality and gender non-conformity.
You should probably shut up about it if you never lived in a world without internet. You have no idea how isolated we were back then, or how desperate we were for even a sliver of freedom.
Someone just reblogged my dancing ghosts with “#digital art” and it doesn’t matter at all but I’m still fighting the urge to dm them “they are very much not digital! They’re chicken wire, tore my jeans, and left me covered in small, bleeding scratches! I got a tetanus shot about it!”
No computers were used for these – partly because I like using my hands and partly because I have genuinely no idea how to do digital animation anyway. It seems like witchcraft.
These are life-sized because I have very little experience with figure drawing/sculpting so I just used my husband and I for proportion measurements. (Which meant I was chasing him around going “come back! Let me measure your femur!”)

Video description: green light on a chicken wire sculpture of a dancing couple. It’s turning in the wind outside at night so they (hopefully) look alive.
I saw another version but I’ll def reblog this one.
@shot-thru-the-art can I ask: the wire they’re hung from, does it just go anywhere the wind blows? vs being on some sort of tumbrel (I think it’s called?) that spins them, I mean.
This is the most amazing thing, IDK how anyone could think it’s digtal. It’s too perfectly imperfect.
Tho I am sorry about the tetanus shot <shudder>
Hi! The ghosts are hung on an arial yoga rig thingy that can spin and sway in the wind without tangling the ropes supporting it. It catches moderate winds but because it doesn’t have a lot of surface area it doesn’t sway or spin in every small breeze.
For this video I went up and shoved it to make it spin.
