“It’s funny to see a resurgence of rock and roll alt punk in fashion. Vivien Westwood always said punk was a fashion aesthetic before it was a sound. So I embraced that. I think it’s great, I’m rooting for all that. But at the same time, I kind of want to stick up for the underdogs. I want to stick up for the people who got made fun for this, that got bullied for being like that.” - @modsun on his song ‘Rich Kids Ruin Everything’ I wish when I was a kid struggling with getting bullied for being different and wearing punk clothes and dying my hair pink that someone would have told me ‘The people that made fun of you and bullied you will one day be embracing everything that you were- the weird, the interesting, the outcast.’ I didn’t know Netflix was coming out with a show on Wednesday directed by one of my fav artists Tim Burton when I painted this. I painted Wednesday because this character made me feel seen at a time in my life when my the few lady friends I had were starting to become obsessed with boys, MTV, and fashion. My guy friends were starting to treat me differently. And she made me feel like it was okay to be strange and unusual. With all of the things that make up Wednesday- She’s a little wicked with a deadpan sarcastic charm, she’s got a steadfast ability to remain weird and different from other people and speak her mind. You have to admit, even if you don’t like Wednesday: She is a force to be reckoned with. Second photo? Grade 11 Aliza. By @somerrunner . Long live the outcast Comments are closed.
