The Princess Series by roxanne wolanczyk

The Princess Series is a group of animated autobiographical shorts produced by artist roxanne wolanczyk. The work centers on the life of a modern day princess, trying to find happiness by escaping an oppressive corporate structure. 

Wolanczyk's graphic-style drawings are clean and inviting, and the individual frame style of delivery is equivalent to an almost under-stylized graphic novel, with the exception that pages are turned for the viewer and the text is delivered via narration. The story is both relatable and engaging. It presents a seemingly honest personal account of the struggle between the external forces of capitalism and an internal desire to pursue a more complete and creative life. However after viewing a few pieces, the observer may start to view the plots as excessively self-serving and self-indulgent on the part of the artist.
