This blog is dedicated to the many of we misunderstood artists who are often stigmatized by our choice of subject matter on which we frequently wax poetic - the Third Reich.
Donna Barr calls us "KrautGrrls."
Our interests aren't limited to only the 3rd Reich, however. Some of us make frequent forays into Flanders Fields - but the vast majority of the world only sees "those $#%^&!#$^$ Nazis," no matter what era we draw.
We come from all corners of the world, all ages, all social classes, all sorts of talents. Some of us are teenagers (and therefore already suspect in the eyes of others), mothers, wives, grandmothers, husbands, fathers, grandfathers, or people simply interested in snazzy uniforms. Being a KrautGrrl isn't solely restricted to women. Men can also be in the "group," as it goes.
Despite the often dark memories and history our subject matter deals with, we are an open, intellectual and accepting bunch of folks. Folks who like screwing with preconceived notions.
In this blog, and the upcoming publication, readers will see all aspects of our passion revealed in its myriad forms.
The readers - and bloggers - are encouraged to maintain and partake in discourse regarding the material represented within; however, we, as a group, do reserve the right to serve obvious trolls their heads back on platters.
Enjoy the upcoming artwork, the articles and the other tidbits soon to be presented in this blog and as always, keep an open mind.

We're probably the best people to ask to fight the Dark Forces -- because we know how bad it can get, if only vicariously. Nobody can fool US with propaganda and made-up wars or Lebensraum claims, because we know where those have gone before. Thanks for putting up the blog, Cori!
ReplyDeleteNo problem, Donna! It's true- we seem to have an eye for the bullshitters. Heh heh.
ReplyDeleteI am going to make another post in a bit, perhaps SOPA or PIPA related vis a vis the blog and the artwork (I need to get some artwork up here, dammit).
