Can we all take a minute and appreciate that hundreds of years ago a person poured hours of hard work into painting cherubs making human fart bubbles.

and let’s take a moment to appreciate the fact that michaelangelo had probably never seen a girl naked and when he want to sculpt or paint them his mentality seems to be “wow, everyone likes women….they must be like…..buff dudes. i love buff dudes. women are buff dudes but with little chest lumps and no wiener”
“nailed it.”
And my personal favorite, Adam and Eve
8 of my favorite art pieces from the MOMA:
1. The Three Musicians—Pablo Picasso
2. Echo #25—Jackson Polluck
3. I forgot to write down the title and artist, but a really neat deconstructed modern nude.
4. The Bather—Paul Cezane
5. Broadway Boogie Woogie—Piet Mondrian
6. Spiderman—Sigmar Polke
7. The Scream—Edvard Munch

I take myself to the Museum of Modern Art while Faith has her job interview.
1. Van Gogh’s Starry Night.
2. (life imitates) Modern art!
3.With Piet Mondrian’s work.
4. Stepping on the one piece you’re allowed to.
5. Spider-man pop art!
It’s a day I just can’t make myself do homework so it’s a day when I doodle a Carrie Kelley instead.

Fem Art Friday Feature: Kara Walker
Contemporary artist Kara Walker deals with the complicated issues of race, gender, and sexuality in her art pieces. These themes are often explored through her well-known silhouettes pieces. In her own words…
“I was really searching for a format to sort of encapsulate, to simplify complicated things…And some of it spoke to me as: ‘it’s a medium…historically, it’s a craft…and it’s very middle-class.’ It spoke to me in the same way that the minstrel show does…it’s middle class white people rendering themselves black, making themselves somewhat invisible, or taking on an alternate identity because of the anonymity … and because the shadow also speaks about so much of our psyche. You can play out different roles when you’re rendered black, or halfway invisible.” [Source]
I learned about Kara’s work for the first time this past summer and it completely captivated me. It’s whimsical yet still political and very disturbing at times. I love it.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m98tndXUVB1qc7fmjo2_1280.jpg)

Sif Concept Art from Thor.
See.
This is female armor done right. No cleavage window, no bare midriff. Only the arms are bare and it seems to be more for movement than aesthetics. And most important? No BOOB PLATES.
#and it’s still hot #so yes you can both have your cake and eat it
All of the above.
Hey, all you dudes complaining about the Hawkeye Initiative: See how Lady Sif is still hot even though her battle uniform is actually practical?
And observe how she is not standing in a way that thrusts out any perceived ‘assets’ but is standing like a Real Actual Person™.
Here she is - She-Hulk! I was thinking up ways on how to hint at her strength while still maintaining a graceful stance. Decided on this pose (somewhat inspired by images of Atlas bearing the world on his shoulders). She-Hulk may not be burdened by the weight on the world on her shoulders, but she CAN carry a hefty amount of weight - something which I *hope* I was able to depict here somewhat figuratively. Hope you all like! Thanks for looking :)

I thought this experience I had recently might interest you guys! I think it’s an exercise a lot of artists could benefit from.
CC: Thank you so fucking much for submitting this. Seriously.
Yes at that bottom line. When will white people learn they are the global minority in the realist sense of the world and the world don’t revolve around them. This exercise is super interesting as well cause I’m not an artist but wow, mentally what that takes is so interesting.
Whoa, interesting!
