Art Description (What inspired you to create the artwork?) The piece is a gothic, tattoo inspired piece of Disney's "Beauty and The Beast". I grew up on Beauty and The Beast as it was one of my favourite movies growing up, and my interest in the movie came from both main characters being imperfect and flawed yet still strong. I wanted to take the iconic Beast and give him a new spin with a snake. I chose the snake because a snake is known for being ferocious, and imtimidating. Snakes also have a bad reputation due to misconceptions leading to many avoiding them. Due to this, I believe the snake would be the best representation of the Beast. Further, to push the symbolism and nods to the movie; the roses symbolize Belle but also the iconic rose that signals the Beast's impending doom looming ever closer to a permanent reality.
