We had an assignment to subvert a story or myth from our childhood. I had a hard time thinking of one until a couple nights before it was due. Out of nowhere I had the idea to do Bambi. I guess I can kind of relate to Bambi's loss of his mother. Mine wasn't shot by hunters but she was taken from me far sooner than she should have been. And I've felt a mixture of sadness and rage since her death and sometimes I wish I could declare war on cancer. So I guess that's where I got this idea of cute forest animals acting out in violence. It's a nice little ironic twist. I had a lot of fun drawing it. It would make a pretty fun project to do a whole coloring book of subverted Disney tales. Not sure if Disney would sue me for something like that though...probably.
