The final round of Senior announcements for 2009!
Artist's Comments
So the *HistoryFashionLovers club is having a "Born in the Wrong Century" contest, where you're supposed to draw what you would be doing if you were born in the *right* century. Okay, I'll be honest, I love the 18th Century, but we horribly romanticize the past and I actually believe that I was born in the right century. (Am I going to get kicked out of the club??) Cause... I really, really appreciate things like being able to vote, have a career, own property, and, uh, wear pants without being tried as a witch!
 Not to mention how much I appreciate things like the end of small pox, polio, slavery, the reform of prisons and the treatment of the mentally ill, etc, etc, etc. (I will concede that the Constitution was so much purer back then..!)In any event, the premise of the contest is fun, so you know, my answer of course is THE LATE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY AMERICA, HUZZAH! And what would I be doing? Well, fan girling Thomas Jefferson, of course! Background photo is manipulated from an image from Monticello.org. (Oh, and all you TJ lovers out there, we so need this: [link] )I have no photos of my own from inside Monticello, because they only allow you to photograph the outside. So... I had to lift one from their website. That's what they get for their silly prohibitions! I used Stephen Dillane as my TJ model because he's doing such a bang-up, delicious job as Thomas Jefferson on the John Adams mini-series. Well, today is my birthday, so I went to Starbucks and drew two completely silly pieces I had been wanting to find time to do for a long time. This is the first one, the second I'll post whenever I have time to color it... |

 reports, 1d 18h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |

i an one with the trutles, r u?
I love it
SO MUCH
This makes me think about a very deep and serious discussion with a group of friends about which Fonding Father we would rather sleep with.
Thomas Jefferson won by a landslide?
I guess he's pretty sexy, in that tortured Declaration-writer sort of way. My personal vote was for Benjamin Franklin. But that might be because I was also a little obsessed with Liberty Kids at the time. I MEAN SHH WHAT I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING. >_>

Also, as an attempted historian, i sympathize with you. Sometimes, one just needs to fangirl historical figures.

This idea is pure genius however, and I totally agree, Thomas Jefferson is by far my favorite founding father. (he had such great ideals and you have to love the writers of history, often they're under appreciated)
