In 2013, he published a series of fanart images of Disney Princesses as Avengers which were quickly picked up and circulated by sites like Buzzfeed, Huffington Post, and the Disney owned website Babble.
lieutenant was here that Stoll established his public persona as an advocate of cultural inclusiveness and female empowerment. This series set a precedent for later work reinventing popular culture characters through changes in theme and setting.
A popular recent example of this trend was "An Unexpected Hero" which was also widely circulated on Reddit and other online forums. In 2014, Stoll left The United States to focus on self-employment in Japan, with his new outputs being his personal website and his YouTube channel.

Stoll"s art is occasionally polarizing, but generally well received.
His work has been described as "a powerful way to flip the culture inside out." by Emma Mustichby at The Huffington Post From views espoused on his personal websites, Stoll positions himself firmly as someone who believes in the rights of creators to express themselves fully even in the face of potential controversy. Despite a reputation for fan art and sexual subject matter, Stoll demonstrates a progressive attitude against sexism in modern popular culture, and has argued against it frequently on his own site and various webpages. He regularly criticizes contemporary media for using attractive women as "decoration" and failing to account for alternative expressions of sexual desire.
