dawnofthefox asked: What would you say to someone looking to get your piece titled "Judgments" as a tattoo? A classmate showed me the photo thinking it was a tattoo, and talked about getting it done herself.

I’d say pics or it didn’t happen. :)

Curvy Kate

Yes, I’ve seen the atrocity that is Curvy Kate’s ad. Yes, that was taking my art and twisting the message to the exact opposite of the orignal message. They took it down, and I’m happy. But I’m not happy because I somehow vanquished some company that was looking to steal my idea – I’m happy because the internet is looking out for me. 

I’ve somehow managed to get a lot of thoughtful, intelligent people on my side – to encourage me to be the best artist I can be and stick up for me when my work is being taken advantage of (to the extent that I found out about this whole ordeal via. Curvy Kate apologizing to me on Twitter). It does a lot to restore/spark one’s faith in the human race.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 

I don’t know how, but the internet gods have blessed me with you, and I’m going to try and give you the best of me.

Random vintage tins, matchboxes and toy cars just seem to gravitate towards me at this point.

Anonymous asked: I'm sure you have tons of silly messages like this, but your work is really amazing. I've been struggling with the whole women can dress how they want to thing for a while because I mean obviously its true but just everything I was raised on was so against that, and that picture really helped me realize how silly I was being. Keep up the amazing-ness.

Thank you. I’m so glad to have helped you, even a little.

Mediasplosion!

I’ve done interviews with The Province (big deal where I’m from up in ‘lil old Canada) and The Art Market. Then Jezebel got wind of it via some rando facebook group, and then Huffpost picked it up. You so crazy, Tumblr.

cecilyrosser asked: Did you actually lick that ink?!

Haha, no. Paintbrush dipped in water. 

I mean, yes.

Here’s a few more photos from one of my high school photography projects.  

The model is the lovely Sophia Bauer, who is an amazing portrait photographer from Germany.

Beam me up, Sexy

Here’s a peek at the hilariously fun and awesome photo shoot I had last night with Lace Cadet, April O’Peel and Bruce Wang. They’ll be featured in a poster I’m designing for “Beam Me Up, Sexy”, a nerd-themed burlesque show in Vancouver. 

Notice the high-tech “green screen”.image

Prints + Stuff

A lot of people have been asking about buying prints of “Judgments” – hell yeah! I’d love to sell prints! Currently in the process of working out exactly how I should go about that. If any of you know of any good companies that would print my work, please let me know!

When I get prints going, I’ll fix my silly spelling error (prudisih). I’ll let you all know here and on Twitter (@roseaposey). Thanks again for showing so much interest in my work. :)

sayokaytodrugs-deactivated20130 asked: Hi! I recently joined a feminist group at my school which I am currently very loosely involved in due to other things in the way, but I will soon be more involved, and I was wondering if I could share your image with them and if it ever comes up, if we could use it in presentations or something of that nature? Thank you. :) Your photos are lovely, by the way.

<OKAY – LAST THANK YOU POST, I PROMISE>

Yes, please do! If you want to use “Judgments” for education or awareness purposes (only), the answer is yes! Just please send me a message so I know how many awesome people are doing this.
