š„ 13 DAYS TO HALLOWEEN | DAY THREE š„
A TALE AS OLD AS TIME⦠š„
Todayās story is a throwback to one of my favorite creative collaborations, with the talented Robbi āRachael āSommers. We were humbly tasked with re-creating the Beauty and the Beast story, in support of the annual Trevor Project fundraiser, at Southern Nights in Orlando, FL.
Never one to shy away from a challenge, Robbie picked up some prosthetics and went to town, transforming me from prince into beast, and himself from beauty into a witch⦠and back into a beauty again.
We created some beautiful things together over the years, and learned so very much about our respective crafts, and each other. And all of it before AI, and without the use of any Photoshop layers⦠Itās important to note that in this day and age!
That said, I highly encourage everyone to use your own noggin and instinct whenever possible. AI and the convenience era we live in, is not as helpful as we may believe. I have found one of the greatest joys of life is experience gained from learning, by actually doing.
Please never stop exploring, trying new things and doing your best to brighten the world by bringing fairytales to life. I promise you no matter what you face, itās worth it to keep going.
Love and light to all! Cheers ā KR.
