Tilda Swinton
APE 2012 commission
She is untouchable. Wish the likeness was a bit more spot on, but I think it’s easy to tell who she is from the overall look.
This was a commission of a very, very good friend of mine for his sweetheart, lover, girlfriend for their anniversary. This one requires a bit of backstory to make sense and it has a world of special meaning to the happy couple. My friend has trouble pronouncing his L’s within words. In fact, he would have a problem properly pronouncing the word ‘trouble.’ Other words like ‘noodle,’ ‘poodle,’ ‘paddle,’ etc, are issues for him. The song Werewolf by Fiona Apple was being sung by my friend and his girlfriend and every time he would have to say Werewolf it would come out ‘werewoof.’ Adorable, yes? His mispronunciation of this specific L sound has been a long running joke for not only the couple, but my entire friend group and has become something of group meme. He wanted to gift his girlfriend with something commemorating his lack of tongue dexterity (ew?) since it tickled her so (ew?). Enjoy!

Wizard Of Oz,
a 100 year winter, a Giant Frozen Tin Man, a lion made of Fire, a Scarecrow that transforms into a Crow, and Dorothy with Her Trusty ToTo sword.
This is my vision of a classic tale.
Nobody hates Holmes like Sir Arthur hates Holmes.
