Peter Chung’s Princesses

SNEEZE Magazine released a skateboard set with Mulan and Jasmine drawn exactly how I imagined them as a teenager—massive breasts, tight jeans, holding each other like they’re about to have sex. Peter Chung did it, a Korean-American artist, and he basically rendered pure fantasy without pretending any of this serves the actual character narratives.

The deck is beautiful. Black and white, clean enough to look expensive even though I’d destroy it the first time I tried to ride it. Around 130 euros. I’d buy it immediately if I could actually walk anywhere without falling on my face. There’s something appealing about owning something gorgeous you’ll never use—the idea of it matters more than the object.

I’m already thinking about what he should do next. Arielle and Pocahontas. Tiana under Cinderella. Belle with Snow White. Just give me the whole lineup. These characters completely stripped of their narrative function and drawn like this. That’s the whole thing.
