Escher Girls

Float like a butterfly, Sting like a WTF!?

This is a blog to archive and showcase the prevalence of certain ways women are depicted in illustrated pop media, specifically how women are posed, drawn, distorted, and sexualized out of context, often in ridiculous, impossible or disturbing ways that sacrifice storytelling.

So I saw this (aka this) and I almost broke my brain trying to figure out what was going on. So I did this. And, well… let’s just say my brain is officially broke. Why couldn’t they just a pose like this one?:

Although much better of course, this was just a very quick doodle. And, of course, I know others could draw much better, more fitting poses than I just did. But yeah - just a example that you don’t have to break the girls like that…
