Sometimes I make art to make people smile. Sometimes I make art to get the weird ideas out of my head and into the real world. And sometimes, on those rare occasions, I get to do both!
Let me just say, I am NO fan of the infamous fan-fic Cupcakes in any of its myriad of horrific forms. That being said, the animated version has a dance number that is all kinds of adorable. So cute that some days I watch it just to feel happy. It's like a perfect, tropical island of cute in a sea of soul-crushing horror.
SOOOO After the MLPFIM season finale, I had this odd idea of Cadence and Chrysalis doing the oddly adorable cupcake dance. The idea wouldn't go away and so- A THING is born.
For context, here is just the video of the dance number set to some sweet Andrew WK accompaniment- [link]
I had never seen this piece before this past weekend... and then someone stopped by my booth at Ponycon with a copy. I ended up with the song stuck in my head for the rest of the day. Sadly, I didn't get a chance to wander over to your booth until the next day, and by then all that was left was the 4x7 version... but I did get the last one of those! Yay!
