Welcome to FANtasia, shared lands. Ruled by passion and creative freedom, these worlds are based on our pop culture and inhabited by derivative characters.
As kids, we grew attached to the stories we all watched, thus sharing a culture that connects us on a very emotional level. This bond is easily shared on the web, where both amateur and professional artists contribute to this culture with their own derivative works – Works that break the rules given by big companies, thus enabling total creative freedom. The relationship between producer and consumer is transformed, shifting from a passive to a more active one. The stories that were once linear and untouchable become now universes that are constantly changing and open for us to explore.
