“What if I wanted to break… laugh it all off in your face” - great song, 30 Seconds to Mars, “The Kill”. The artist is of course, Jared Leto, with his strange looks, strange role playing in movies and strange weight loss. He’s the perfect emo… just look at the hair, the make up. Looks more like a woman than a man…
Hollywood’s bad pretty boy is now an effeminate sad cartoon character…
The series of famous characters gone emo continues with the one, the only Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street with a change of looks (not a huge one though, as he’s still diabolical).
Notice the sad eyes, the lip piercing and black tear? Now that’s what I call a dark Victorian character! “At last, my right arm is complete again!”
You probably (don’t) know that the symbol of the art of Theatre consists of two masks, one that’s smiling and a sad one. Well we took a more emo approach to the matter and the result is a mask that’s not smiling and not sad. It’s in between panic and the horrific feeling that something bad is going to happen.
We say: “Life’s a stage and we’re all actors on it!”
The Mask says: “Say what?”
Michelle is one of our biggest fans and we wanted to draw an emo version of her, but she’s more into punk and ska than My Chemical Romance and Panic at the disco. So, we drew a pretty standard image of her with a touch of makeup and a punk rebellious attitude.
She says: “Punk’s not dead!”
We say: “Nor is Emo, but it wants to be”.
Of all the people… Keith Flint was better in his ’90s version doing the Firestarter, now he’s all “I’m a British raver with too little hair left and I mime the attitude of a cruel Brit lord”.
We say: “Where’s your heeaaddd aaaaat?”
Flint says: “I’m the EmoStarter, tears instigator!!!”
