Artist's Statement

:sing: Tonight those super trooper beams are gunna blind me, but I won't be blue, like I always do, 'cause somewhere in the crowd, there's you.

OK, this was done for a contest on horned animals, real or fantasy. So I did a unicorn. (what a shocka!)
But I wanted it to stand out, and I always wanted to do something psychadelic. I ordered some markers, but we didn't get along at first. This is our reconciliation, done entirely in DickBlick brand illustrator markers and pen.

Why the doofy unicorn? Because let's face it: Outside of a handful of fantasy and mythology aficionados, unicorns will always be perceived as doofy girly rainbow-barf animals. I think it's almost possible I had too much fun on this. There will definitely be more marker work in the near future.

The song is by ABBA, called "Super Trooper" and it got so painfully stuck in my head that I listened to it the whole way through this drawing.

NOTE: I never have, and never plan to, do drugs. Drugs are bad, mmkay? Stay in school, don't cuss and listen to your mother.
