Stranger Things Time Lapse Painting

   It was during a family get together, don't ask me which holiday because I rightly can't remember, it could have been a birthday, it could have been a Granma hasn't seen you in a few days so lets have a party day. Who knows? It was there my little brother asked me "Have you seen Stranger Things yet?"



Now I had seen the image on Netflix for quite some time but I didn't really feel the urge to click on it. My curiosity just wasn't that strongly fixated on it, so I didn't.



"No." I said brushing my son's hair out of his eyes. He was badly in need of a haircut at the time and I had just been too lazy to take him to the barber shop.



"Is it any good?" I asked him.



And that, my dear readers, is when his eyes became round as saucers. His cheeks began to pinken with excitement and I could almost see the shiny sparkles surrounding him like you see in certain anime when a character is truly passionate about something or someone. True story.



He rose from his prone position on the carpeted floor and took a seat Indian style. I still have no idea how a man could sit like that with man bits being a possible casualty of such a position but he seemed to manage it fine.

 

Then, my fine readers, he began to flail his arms as he described to me what the story was about.



It's set in the 80's, 4 friends are playing D&D in their friend's basement. Once it was time to go home, one of the boys name Will is chased by a monster and then he just... disappears.



Later the friends, police, Will's older very shy brother, and his emotionally fragile mother are searching frantically for him.



My brother continues telling me more about the story frantically waving his hands about and nearly foaming at the mouth. Okay, maybe that part was a bit exaggerated....well maybe the whole waving his hands about is a bit exaggerated as well. Ok, ok, this whole damn post was wildly exaggerated! Except for my son needing a hair cut. That was 100% truth.



So to make this long story short, I went home and watch the first episode. From there on, I was hooked. I binge watched the entire series...almost in one night. I would have shirked all my duties just to squeeze in one more episode but kids are hard to shirk. Just saying.



I finally finished the show a few days ago and now....I feel like I'm in withdrawals. I need more shows like this. The world needs more shows like this! It's amazing!



When they announced Season 2 is coming out next year, I may have started jumping on my couch like a 5 year old when Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer comes on during Christmas. Oh that was just me? Never mind then.



So, that's when I decided I wanted to draw Eleven. The little girl with hellishly strong super powers an evil secret government facility is after in the show.



My advice to you loyal readers, is go watch the show. You will not be disappointed.



Live long and eat Eggos.
