But I’m also curious about your, like, art origin story and kind of how those-what’s your fanartist origin story?įE: Well, I was-I actually-we didn’t have a word for this back then? I didn’t realize I was doing fanart since I was a very young child, actually. Let’s start in the traditional spot we have with guests, is I would love to hear your, like, fannish origin story. I’m not sure of the plan, but-įE: I don’t think anything I’m gonna say is a particularly hot take, but… ĮLM: OK, all right. It’s, like, if I were a listener, I would think that you were about to drop, like, a volcanically hot take of some sort. įE: Yes, these are all just my opinions, and my opinions also change over time, so… įK: I love this disclaimer. I wanna make sure that you feel reassured, here. Though, I will say again, you are not speaking on behalf of all fanartists. We are delighted to talk to you, specifically, and a fanartist in general. So /Fansplaining is how you can support us there.ĮLM: All right, great! So should we call Fox?įK: All right, it’s time to welcome Fox to the podcast! Welcome, Fox!ĮLM: Thank you for coming on. If you just want one to see if you’ll like it, you can try it. Of course, there’s also other things that you can get if you support us on Patreon, such as a really cute enamel pin, occasional Tiny Zines, various levels of access to our special episodes. I do like soulmate AUs, and we, I think, had a really great conversation about it. But this one is about one of Flourish’s all-time greatest number one top tropes: the soulmate AU.įK: All right, I’m gonna just let you have that one. We were really coming in hot during the first year of the pandemic, and I think it fizzled a little bit, and this-įK: Yeah, well, you know, we were- we didn’t have as much to do outside of our apartment-įK: -so we might have recorded some more. So we wanted to mention it upfront, because for our $3 and up patrons, the special episode tier, we have a new special episode out.ĮLM: It is another installment in our Tropefest series, which we hadn’t done in a while. I just felt a little silly when I was editing it and realized that we had just ended the conversation.

So we are going to call her up, but first, astute listeners may have noticed in our last episode- I’m sure people were so sad that we didn’t talk about Patreon, but we completely forgot. Maybe they were just more, like, “I’d like to hear fanart, please.” But I definitely think it’s something that we idly speculate about briefly and in passing far too often, because we are both, you know, it’s just not-it’s something that we obviously see and like and, you know, have paid for at cons or over the internet and reblogged but, like, it’s not something that I think either of us ever have had any firsthand experience with, unlike a lot of other fan behaviors.ĮLM: Between the two of us, I feel like we cover a lot, so…įK: So we’re extremely excited to have somebody who’s been, like, doing this for as long as Fox has, especially, like, and really seen the whole spread of stuff.ĮLM: Yeah. Why aren’t you talking about fanart?” Kind of a-I’m putting this weary tone onto these messages.

Harry Potter and X-Files, which is where I encountered her, yeah, and I guess Xena before that-anyway, I’m really excited to talk with her.ĮLM: So one of the reasons we wanted to have Fox on is because, you know, we’ve gotten a fair number of comments over the last few years from folks being like, “Can you do a fanart-fan-please talk about fanart.

#One last stop fanart Patch
I first met her via Sherlock, and she’s heavily involved in the Three Patch Podcast.įK: Yeah, and before that, like, yeah. Fox has been a fanartist for a long time in a bunch of different fandoms.

FK: And welcome to Fansplaining, the podcast by, for, and about fandom.ĮLM: This episode #193, “Ask Me About My Fanart.”įK: Which is going to be an interview with Fox Estacado, and the title is because Fox Estacado is the creator of those shirts you might have seen that say “Ask Me About My Ship,” and then if someone does, you pull them up, and on the bottom, like, on the inside is printed a picture of your ship kissing.ĮLM: They are very cute shirts renowned throughout fandom.
