Pixar just emailed: they're interested.

This was supposed to say "modification of a drawing by Michael Manning" but I resized it to 500 x 500 and lost everything, including the attribution.

The above comments apply to an earlier version of this drawing.

THIS IS SO HUMANIST

"the bravest are surely those who have the wonkee-ist vision of what is before them ..."

"This is....ATHENSSSSS!" cried the young artists.

nah we'd be all like "THIS IS SPARTA"

That was supposed to be a This Is Sparta joke.

Was thinking about a "It's Only Humanist"-style essay that considers "300" as the dark side of Greek New Media, "expressing young filmmakers' yearning for manly virtue and ancient rituals of violence in the disconnected, affectless time of the Internet. In contrast to the aestheticized holistic beauty favored by the Athenians, The Spartans' CGI abs and pecs conjure a warrior cult of the body: free-floating signifiers of sweaty buffness but also a grotesque cyborg 'skinning' of the human form."
