Majorette, le retour.

Après le succés de mon premier post, je me permets de reposter un dessin en l'honneur de mes amies majorettes et de leur art.

N'hesitez surtout pas à commenter.


Mais vraiment, n'hesitez pas.

Man and the moon (Disney 1955)

I'm fed up of people thinking that Disney is only stupid princesses, singing birds and mainstream visual style. A closer look in the history of the studio proves that it's totally wrong.

In 1955, Ward Kimball, on of the Nine old men and finest graphic designer at Disney, has directed a program called Man and the moon, an educational mix cartoon/live action speaking about our relation with the moon.
The first part of the show, dedicated to the history of the moon in men's cultur, is all animated. Ward Kimball show here all the graphic and original style of the Disney artists, using the distinguish style of the late 50's cartoon modern. Moreover the animation is very good, funny and well balanced.
The kind of cartoon artists and producers show learn about.

(Thanks to Amid Amidi and his Cartoon Modern blog to make me discover this master piece).

A funny thing to notice is the presence, in a Disney program, of Wernher von Braun, the father of the american space program, but before that the creator of the deadly V2 rockets used by the nazi germany during world war 2... spooky !

Majorette

En cette période de "chtisation" de la France, je suis tombé hier soir un merveilleux documentaire à la Strip-Tease nous faisant découvrir le fabuleux univers des majorettes du nord.

Je vous ai fait une reproduction je pense assez fidèle de la majorette de base: elle pourrait s'appeller Brenda, 18 ans, 3 enfants (Dilan, Alisson et Zidane), mariée à Kévin qui ne comprend décidément pas la passion de sa femme, préférant de loin le noble art du tuning qu'il pratique sur sa 205 Gti.

Il y a des jours comme ça où on est content d'être un gros con de parisien.

Le costume est inspiré de celui de la fabuleuse équipe des Sylverstars de Oye-Plage dont je vous ai retrouvé, bande de petits veinards, le skyblog.
