#TheArtOfOscar

Incredible @karondavis! 👏🏿

Reposted from karondavis For @hollywoodreporter Oscar issue along side a great group [of] Artists. We were asked to create our own Oscar, so I did a bit of a history lesson on the Egyptian God Ptah. The creator of the Oscar claims it is a man wielding a sword to protect all in the academy to me it's obvious where he took his inspiration from. Bloop

Byyeeee ...”
