[C] Under the Sea

Things I do to amuse myself... I mean, to entertain my daughter. My latest masterpiece is a montage of Little Mermaid characters, as rendered in Wikki Stix. Clearly the artist (that would be me) intended to comment on the neodialectic tension between traditional children's "fairy tales" and their manifestation in patriarchal narrative, and to critique the commodity fetishism of contemporary pop-cultural production. Oh, and there's something deep about the human condition in there too. Yes, this is indeed the apogee of art as we know it.
