I love how she put that “disclosure” for the Paris filter because she didn’t iron her dress. Are you fu¢&ing kidding me??? You filter yourself all the live long day and that’s the one you’re admitting to? What a hypocrite.
I agree Briony looks really nice. Butttt I am not sure what the assignment was but her Polly Pocket is not great. I’m not sure if she doesn’t plan for enough time or what happens, but her “work” for these types of gigs always seem a bit rushed and not properly finished. Are all the little gaps and unfinished seams, surface chunks, brush marked paint, etc part of the aesthetic? Like shoddy craftsmanship was on purpose? Signed, a craftsperson
She copies almost all the art she does. I’m in the “art” field and I’ve seen so many of her things that she’s done months if not years before she does them. And while there’s nothing wrong with doing things we see online (hello, inspo) , it’s very disturbing to be getting all this attention when a quick internet search reveals most stuff has been done before. A few artists I follow did a Polly pocket build months ago and even recorded the process on YT. Moonlight Jewel (YT) aka moonlight_jewel_dolls (IG) and rainstorm.creations (IG) did an awesome Polly Pocket which was all posted in April. And they weren’t even the firsts!
You are the best for posting this. I just put their work up on my stories. Briony should credit artists & designers she borrows from it’s not a huge deal to do this. I’ve noticed she never has. From photography sets to art. If she goes for Jessica Crafternoons Giant Furby… I may put my boxing gloves on. 😒
Thanks J. I’m laughing at the replies to my comments on the art (from an account that is defending her art - an account started 2 days ago on lemmy who have only posted about this Polly pocket “art”😂).
As an artist myself with my art featured on albums, billboards, charities, products, restaurant walls, etc, I feel upset when I see really bad quality praised (because of B’s status, not talent). If I hired someone to collab on something and I saw the drips, gaps, rough surfaces I would not accept it. It should be a back and forth process for collabs so it’s on Polly pocket too for allowing this poor craftsmanship to happen. It’s okay if companies tell people they need to do some revisions- it’s part of the process. Not every first draft of my work is the “final product”, and I’d be mildly insulted if people just accepted my first drafts or prototypes. There should be no walking on eggshells when it comes to showing your artwork, and feedback about quality is important. Art is subjective, but quality is not.
If a friend was giving this to my child as a gift? Awesome! But a paid project? I think as artists we can say : there are others who would do a far better job, and if it weren’t B , it would get called out too. If there weren’t “influencers” showing up and covering this, it would be called out.
She literally made it for Polly pocket. They asked her to make it. So… not exactly copying someone else’s original design. And that crafter you posted uses 3D printing so not really comparable to hand made.
This is so nicely done! All smooth and perfect. I am currently in the middle of a dollhouse build making all the interior from scratch and 80% of the work is in the no fun finishing. Briony is not a finisher!
I do agree it looks kind of shoddy. But this other crafter 3D prints her work so you can’t really compare hand made to printed. And it’s a giant Polly pocket. It’s not an original art concept. The Polly pocket company literally asked her to make it for the event, so I don’t see how she is copying other’s work?
Just google the artwork B has made and you’ll see that there are plenty of people who have made almost every “large” artwork that B has made before she has.
