I would be remiss if Ghibli Month on Beneath the Tangles went by without us doing a post specifically about fan art! There are a lot of wonderful pieces out there created by the fabulous community of artists who enjoy Ghibli films, but perhaps none as lovely (to me at least) as these pieces by… Read More Friday Fanart: Studio Ghibli in Silhouette
I was not a particularly active youth, but I think I must have seemed like a mountain child compared to kids of this generation. I spent time outdoors most every day, and all morning and afternoon long during summertime. I walked trails cut in the desert near my home, searching for rattlesnakes and horny toads.… Read More When Shinkai and Fan Art Remind You That “Gee, Nature is Pretty Gorgeous!”
For all the ills and unintended consequences of social media, there are some remarkably good things about it, too. For instance, it provides a brand new way for nerds, who aren’t always the most sociable bunch, to form community. Well, maybe that’s not fair—a lot of geeks are incredibly social, they just have an awkwardness… Read More Get Social, You Nerds!
There’s practically an entire anime genre featuring cute anime girls carrying big guns and going to battle. Off the top of my head, Girls und Panzer, Sora no Woto, The Third Aerial Girls Squad (the series the SHIROBAKO crew creates during the second cour of that series), and Violet Evergarden come to mind. Add to… Read More When Cute Anime Girls Go to War
In lieu of writing something, I thought I’d share some of my fan art.

But for that reason it can also be very instructive. Unfortunately, no real thematic… Read More Josh’s Fan Art Gallery

I love fan-created works, and especially fan art. Pixiv, a site that brings Japanese artists together to display their manga-style works, similar as to how Deviant Art does the same for English-speaking artists, is one of my favorite site featuring fan art. There’s something about anime (and lots of other forms of media) that speak… Read More May 2017 Pixiv Round-up: Grand Order, April Lies, and Academia Heroes
A number of of us on Beneath the Tangles have a passion for fan art, those wonderful pieces that fans like you and me (but with amazing talent and honed skill) create. I’ll be posting illustrations, mostly developed by artists who have accounts on Pixiv, from time and time. Today, I’m introducing some wonderful tarot… Read More Anime Fan Art: Attack on Tarot
This week, Kaze and Jack (R86) talk about their experiences with- wait, what about JP? Sadly, your favorite editor and podcaster will not be joining the podcast this time around. He’s not bitter about it or anything. It’s not like he still had to spend the time editing and preparing the podcast or anything. All work… Read More TangleCast 12: Fan Art
