THIS OFFICE HAD ITS BLINDS UP AND THIS IS WHAT I SAW
i’m losing my mind. this is a high rise office building on the upper east side of manhattan. and the only piece of art on the wall in this office is a bikini clad anime girl with humongous bazookas that are bouncing out of sync. this can’t be real someone wake me up
I know this print, it’s actually considered a fine art piece! It’s clearly based on Takashi Murakami’s live-sized statue ‘Hiropon’:
Which, yes, she’s skipping rope with milk that she’s lactating from her bazongas. It’s actually part of a set, the other one being titled ‘Lonesome Cowboy’:
Which features a Cloud look-alike lassoing with his cum.
Murakami is well known for taking ‘low art’ subject matter (anime, hentai, penises) and placing them in ‘high art’ contexts. I actually saw Hiropon in personal with my own two eyes at the Denver Museum of Art back in 2009. A lot of what he does is satirical, and it’s honestly pretty funny to see pictures of his artwork in American museums, surrounded by confused white baby boomers.
That said, without the context, it DEFINITELY slaps you in the face and makes you question what the fuck is going on. Had I not found out who he was in college, Hiropon would still haunt me as the most confusing thing I’ve ever seen in a museum.
god thank you for explaining this but also i’m still being slapped in the face as i type
Fanart? On this blog? It’s more likely than you’d think.
Commissions really take a lot of time out of my day-to-day. When I didn’t have class this summer, it was easier to squeeze fanart in-between commissions because I had so much free time to spare. Now, I work a little bit on a single piece whenever I can shake the feeling that I’m neglecting my real, actual work, so it just feels like forever since I’ve posted actual RWBY art to my page, haha.
Anyway, here’s Nora with her V7 haircut, which is actually shorter than her V6 cut. I’m glad- I like it shorter, anyway. She’s also in a high-waisted skirt because I’m a man of simple pleasures and I want to draw cute girls in my free time please just let me have this
