While this is a poster, this is a rather personal piece! There's a lot going on with it, but I'm not sure how interesting it is to read about. Continue at your own risk of boredom. :P

This artwork is purposefully derivative of Lisa Frank's iconic work while deliberately using my own art style. This is meant to be a spiritual successor to a few of my other unicorn prints over the years, an illustration that can stand on its own without the use of a dumb joke or pun, a "fuck you" to Lisa Frank Incorporated for the shit they pulled over Christmas, and a piece of art that would absolutely piss off my former self.
The overall idea and pose is from a piece I found in my old college sketchbook. I was desperately trying to become a "real" artist and have my craft taken seriously at that time. While I was still primarily a cartoonist, I found myself trying to do something more along the lines of Dark Natasha, or Golden Wolf, albeit more fantastical and folksy than "spiritual." The unicorn whose horn formed the crescent of the moon was one of those fancy high faluten' ideas that my self-important 20-year-old self thought of.
So I took that and repurposed it for rainbow puke pop art. Get that stick outta your ass, old me.

That's a lot of words and thoughts for a piece of art that's little more than "ooh shiny" lol. I think I'm okay with being a serious artist that draws incredibly unserious things. It's a lot more fun that way

Edit: Oh yeah, you can get your shiny holographic print of this here:
