Tangled is my favorite modern Disney film, which is now more and more of a stretch as we get closer to a decade. It was the first computer animated film to show that computer animation doesn’t have to look like lifeless puppets, and that it could behave like traditional animation, true it almost killed Glen Keane as he obsessed over getting the technology right.. but the finished film is a work of art and it looks like Glen Keane designed it (Rapunzel’s design is PERFECT). It took until Moana for a Disney animated film to visually surpass it. Even more to me, Tangled is the film that gave me my best friend, and it’s also the last movie I watched with my mom. So it means so much to me. It’s definitely not perfect. The name is.. terrible. Still. It’s awful. And the opening and closing narration by Zachary Levi is.. atrocious, unnecessary, and full of, “I’m going to tell you exactly what you’re seeing.” I can watch the kingdom dance sequence over and over, it still shines the brightest and it might be Alan Menken’s best score work. Unpopular opinion: short haired Rapunzel is better.

Ikea is only fun with @sorchops. But seven years?!?! How?!

It’s that cousin thing we do with our aunt for her birthday. I’m distracted myself while taking the picture by the face Cheyenne was making.

Well. This seems fitting. Thanks for creating the greatest modern literary character, Mister Lee.

I beat myself up for not being prolific enough or not doing enough “real writing,” but then I remember that it was only a year ago that I wrote a play that was part of a production that was staged with actors in another state. To be fair, I might have forgotten because of what happened over the proceeding months.. but hey, I’m super proud of that little play.

Accidentally made this using @procreate’s #procreate4_2 update. By accidentally I mean I merged my layers and then did the smear effect and then it looked really cool. It’s definitely inspired by @brittney.anastasia with some purple splashed in. All in all, I really love it.

I could go on and on and on and on about my incredible best friend, @sorchops and how much I’ve loved and cherished the last nine years. Instead here we are with a silly snapchat filter because we’re so cute.

After and before (?) because I got positive feedback from posting them in my various stories. My first haircut from a new person in over a decade?! If you’re wondering how afraid of change I am, I put this off for weeeeeeks.

I’m honestly so upset. A QR code to get an I voted banner for Facebook? That’s not a sticker. Anyway, I wrote this thing about voting and I’m putting it here too. Hi. Let’s talk voting. I’ve voted in every election since the year 2000 (a fact made even weirder when you realize people born in that year are able to vote this year), aside from one year that was mail in only, and I didn’t know you couldn’t just go to the place anyway (who doesn’t want to to go a place where you get stickers?!). Anyway, back in the year 2000 I was the most idealistic voter, it was the booming 90s and I was an avid West Wing viewer, so I believed politicians really want to help us and in the ultimate good of the system, and there’s this boring but smart man who wants to do all these things for science and education and the environment, there’s no way he’s going to lose to this yeehaw cowboy who’s known for being stupid and murdering prisoners. And that started me on a lifetime of understanding that the process is ultimately unfair and devastating. But I still do it, and I still believe in it and the ultimate good will of the people, despite the last ten years being increasingly disheartening. Eight years of Obama being blocked at most attempts to do something good followed by two years of.. whatever this is... Which is why I still believe in it, because what is happening now is not okay. The fact that I shouldn’t have to even list them, because often times there’s so many atrocities happening that I FORGET some of them, and you have the grim realization of, “oh right, he did that too.” And yes, this does have a fractured mirroring of the middle of the Bush years, but somehow more twisted and more evil and much worse. The fact that the President of (no really) the United States is (no seriously) a man who once had a television show where he (and I’m not kidding here) fired Flava-Flav and Gilbert Gottfried for not selling enough corn muffins or whatever the hell happened on that show and that’s somehow the most innocuous reference I can make... And yet. And yet Here we are. And I don’t want to be here anymore.

This might be a repost (?), but I really want to share this lovely little drawing of the wonderful @ear_muffin, who became really important addition to my life over the last couple of years, I’m a fan of her as a person, her help with Denver Writes, but really as a friend. If you’re a fan of that video of me and the boxes at the Museum of Contemporary Art (which is surprisingly, a lot of you), that’s all her making me do it and making me post it.

I’m sending some love to my art only Instagram account, which I’ve decided to repurpose by going through my art library and posting old art. If you want to see if I’ve experienced artistic growth over the past decade, or if you want to make fun of me for being a worse artist, the opportunity now exists! #Repost @kevinpetersonillustrator ・・・ Sketch time with Lucy. #artaday2017 #sketchaday2017 #sketchwallet #hairflip #girlswithfreckles

I tried to do two very different stylistic interpretations of this recent photo series @madeyeturner (yes, again) posted. I like the pose of the second drawing, but prefer the first overall (which is why it’s first). #sketchwallet

More art made using @wetransfer’s Paper and @procreate. Including one from my forever favorite @ashhleyjeann I really prefer the sketch version to the colored version, so this might show up again later in a different form. #madewithpaper #procreate

Entirely possible that I’ve done more drawings of @aquaamarina than anyone else ever, because she’s one of the best people ever. But mostly because I don’t want her to ever stop sending pictures and videos of @bootsymellows. Scroll through for some work in progress drawings and a couple of Marina as DC’s Zatanna.

Now that October/Inktober/Battober is over I have a back log of pencil sketches and drawings, I haven’t listed one since August! I have 3 posts worth of drawings, that I’ll put up eventually or I’ll panic and think they’re all terrible and delete my Instagram.. either way, something to look forward to! I don’t remember who everyone is in these and I don’t even know if I’ve told everyone yet.. so.. I hope you like them?!

The movie that I had zero interest in until they decided to make it just for me by putting in ALL of the Disney Princesses. If you need me I’ll be screaming excitedly and crying while looking at the the designs of the causal look Princesses until I actually see the film.

I rarely go in for physical media, but high definition remastered versions of the two defining television shows of my lifetime? The greatest representation of Batman (and maybe even comics as another media), ever, Batman: The Animated Series, and the smartest sitcom ever made, Community (and two discs labeled season four which I assume are frisbees or coasters?). Weirdly enough at 110 episodes, Community has one more episode than Batman, but Batman has two and a movies?! Batman hot take: the new look episodes of Batman have the best consistent writing and animation as well as the best episode, Over the Edge. Community hot take: Season Six is amazing and if you don’t like (or haven’t watched it), you’re simply wrong.

My favie @taylorrrbailey and our attempt to take a picture with my whole face so I could make a Facebook profile post (scroll for previous attempt). Seriously though, Taylor is one of the absolute delights of my job and life and I honestly don’t know what I’d do without her.

Here we are again. Another year already? Another birthday. Are these supposed to get easier? Possibly, of this last year was maybe not the second worst year of my life. Maybe then I would be waking up panicked throbbing through every hospital conversation and visit and trying to determine if this was really how it’s supposed to be? All of this is of course, crazy, irrational behavior and we need to move on to other thought, like how much you loved Halloween, even though I can’t. I still can’t, is this still negative? I was trying to not be. Well this didn’t turn out as eloquently as I planned it. This picture is proof that I’ve always smiled like that and will continue to do so. Happy Birthday, Mom.

Penguin day. #penguinday #timehop
