Jack and Sally - Nightmare Before Christmas
Possibly the most shared meme of Jack
and Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas, and definitely one of the
best pieces of fan art of those two fateful characters. It took me
years of hunting through uncredited blog listings, degraded
copy-and-reposts, and reversed image searches, to finally find the
artist and the source image.
Artist Name: Lulu Inthesky

This is the meme version that went
viral. Obviously, the motivational succor of "Your
soulmate is the person who mends your Broken Heart, by simply giving
you, Theirs," complete with the internet generation's poor
grammar, was added. Though it is a great sentiment and I'm sure
helped with its viral nature, I somehow doubt the editor of the image
also wrote the verse.
Here are some of her early
pencil/shading works whose style I prefer. Her work has evolved
towards a cleaner/pen-and-ink style which I think becomes more
common, more mainstream, too mid-20th century cartoonish,
and not nearly as creative or as beautiful as her earlier work.
Artists change, you just can't trust 'em. ;)
