5. Choosing a favorite design would probably be like choosing between your children, but which one are you most proud of?
Belle, no question! I think she is the perfect companion for him, and that design just happened very organically. It was so easy and just came to me, and I love how it turned out.
6. You already have a whole slew of designs in this series. Do you see a stopping point, or are you going to try to do as many as you can?
My goal right now is to do 12 Disney heroines and then move on to something different. It may be in the Doctor Who realm with Disney, or something entirely new.
7. Can we expect any other similar mash-ups in the future? Maybe one where the Doctor meets another group of characters, or the princesses venture into other worlds?
I am such a huge Disney fan, so that will always surface in my work. I really love doing mash-ups, and combining two totally unique stories in such a way that opens up a completely new story. I see myself doing more art in that respect, but I don’t know for sure what pop culture reference that might include.
8. You seem to be eternally full of ideas. Do you have any other concepts that you’d like to turn into another series of designs?
I am not short on ideas (see above white board reference!) and right now don’t have nearly enough time to get to everything I would love to do! There is an idea up there now to do characters from Once Upon a Time in an Art Nouveau style that I just started working on and can see doing as a whole series eventually.
Karen was kind enough to share with us an exclusive sneak peek of her latest Doctor Who/Disney mash-up. This one features Sleeping Beauty! Check it out below.
Karen’s artwork can be found all over the internet, including some of the most popular t-shirt sites like TeeFury and Threadless, but you can check out her etsy shop for all sorts of her designs on things like prints, posters, pillows, iPhone cases and more.
Don’t forget to check her out on Facebook (where she posts the majority of her works-in-progress and final sketches), along with her Twitter.
