I Am Not An Artist, But I Wish I Was (Wk 11)
Our penultimate lectorial was centred on remixes which was fascinating to me because I am a huge fan about everything television and film. Having access to the internet allows me to find other fans who share my interests and the fan art they produce always blows me away. Not being able to draw I appreciate the amazing pieces of fan art all over the internet and what makes fandom art pieces so special is the ability to mix and match various television and film pieces into one work. The following pieces of fan art represent the coming together of some of my favourite media artefacts that show how remixes honour the original works.
It always surprises me that the creators of my favourite content are fans of shows as well and it was such a surprise last week when the Adult Swim released the couch gag for the season final of The Simpsons which had been animated by Justin Roiland to include his creation, Rick and Morty. While serving as cross promotion for both shows, introducing fans of The Simpsons to Rick and Morty, it was a fantastic insight into the show and seeing this collaboration was a great treat for fans of both shows.
