Beauty Meets Brains, pencil on paper and digital
another piece inspired by a visit to the computer history museum (the first was call girl). there was this one particular ad of a woman stationed near a table-like computer. the copy was hilariously demeaning towards the woman, something along the lines of, “if only she could cook as well as we can store the recipes!” (don’t quote me on that, please).
in any case, this drawing is the impression it left. i wanted to marry 50-60s glamour with (clunky) retro technology and a cheeky title. i ended up tying in some 80s fashion and a ‘saturday evening post’ illustrative aesthetic (which was actually a surprising mistake).

What’s Up?
Tumblr I’ve been MIA for quite some time. College is coming to an end and I have a lot on my plate. My future is up in the air but I’ve never felt more control. I know who I am and I’m in love with my growth. My head and my heart are working together creating this awesome being. Be excited! I might end up somewhere near you…
“Who taught you to hate the color of your skin?
Who taught you to hate the texture of your hair?
Who taught you to hate the shape of your nose and the shape of your lips?
Who taught you to hate yourself from the top of your head to the soles of your feet?
Who taught you to hate your own kind?
Who taught you to hate the race that you belong to so much so that you don’t want to be around each other?”- Malcolm X, 1962

And I’m like

And the rejected guy looks at me like
