It's probably no surprise that I am a Tarina Tarintino fan, duh. However, that doesn't mean i approve of everything she does. Nobody's perfect, right? It's time to take a look back at the highs and lows of her work thus far.
Tarina clearly likes to incorporate pop culture imagery into her work. Sometimes this can be a good thing, and sometimes it can be a baaaad thing. Here we have some of my favorite pieces by miss Tarintino, and what i think is her absolute best work. My theory is, if you are going to use a universal symbol or character in your work ... don't mess with the original design. She obviously got it down perfect with these few pieces. As you can see, they are all gorgeous.
Now let's move on to the bad:
As I was saying... if you're going to use a popular character in your work, best thing to do is leave the original design in tact and the way people love and remember it. Otherwise, you'll end up with something like the extremely unappealing pink haired Hello Kitty series.
When I think of Hello Kitty, I think of the cute little kitty that is the symbol of everything innocent and cuddly. Then i see this shit above and it just confuses the hell out of me. I'm sorry, but i just want to throw up when i see retarded shit like this. It's not cool, it's not original, it's just stupid.
Another stupid move is thinking you can establish tiaras as normal. Seriously, who the hell would buy this, and where the hell are you supposed to wear this shit? If i saw someone wearing a tiara, i would think they had some serious mental problem.
And finally, we have the incredibly disturbing. I don't think this picture requires any explanation. Just one question... Why?
