Daily Creativity: Robin as Pop Art

Robin as Pop Art
Tonight’s Art Project was not done by hand per say, but I drew it in photoshop based on a photo of my friend Robin (Who rocks FYI) and I was going for a Pop Art, Roy Liechtenstein sort of fee.  I felt like doing my Pop Art thing so I did it.  I have to say, I love this.  I could actually see this blown up on my wall somewhere.

Daily Creativity: International Women’s Day “Rosie”

Rosie the Riveter
In honor of International Women’s Day I decided to sketch one of the most famous images of female empowerment and feminism.

Rosie the Riveter is an icon I grew up with, it’s more then just imagery but it’s history.  To me, the idea of Rosie is what every woman should aspire to, not that every woman needs to do manual labor but that when it comes down to it every woman can do what they can to help out, to make the world a better place and to maker her way in the world.  A woman can work with her hands, or in an office or anywhere including at home.  There shouldn’t be limits on women, but there shouldn’t be limits on men either.  True equality isn’t about women getting what they deserve, but everyone having the opportunity to become and be what they can.  Male, Female, Whatever. /soapbox
