Gurls.Just.Wanna
the cinnamon peeler's wife: (129)
(129)
My most vulnerable spot is at the nape of my soul
and your lips hold the power to paralyze me
from skin down.Your biggest secret was that you loved me.
Mine was that I couldn’t tell whether I wanted to kiss you
or drown you.If you write me a sonnet about my elbow on my knee
I would write you a Russian novel about the way you walk
like you’re holding two bombs in your back pocket.I’m sending you a letter.
Included is a ten page play I wrote
between your palm and my fingertip.My hamartia is that I apologize too often.
Yours is that you never thought to do so
at all.

World’s Finest (African American Supergirl & Batgirl), original artwork.
This is the female (and race swap) of the World’s Finest which normally consists of Batman and Superman overlooking Gotham. I just think that Supergirl and Batgirl are more interesting. Still practicing with the tablet…

Single-Serving Site of the Day: More than 4,000 street portraits have been taken for the Humans of New York Project, “an effort to create a photographic census of the city of New York.”
A highlight from the Tumblr:
I found this man on 7th Avenue in Park Slope. He was leaning heavily on his cane, looking down, wearing a grimaced face. I felt bad for him, so I smiled and waved when I walked past. His face changed completely. He lit up, smiled wide, and gave me a cheery greeting. There was nothing forced about it. He seemed like a man who went through life looking for the smallest excuses to be happy.
I walked 50 feet down the sidewalk, turned around, and walked back to him. “I want to take your photo,” I told him, “because of how big you smiled when I walked by.”
He said: “Well I saw someone smiling at me who I didn’t even know. So I thought: ‘By God! I Better do something!’”

African American Wonder Woman Redux, original artwork.
A redo of my first African American Wonder Woman illustration…this time a full body version...which I will use for other purposes. But I’ll speak on that part soon. This was done with a more traditional cartoon/retro comic coloring style just to keep things simple. I may color this again in my more traditional way with a different background…maybe.
African American Harley Quinn (finished), original artwork.
This took a little longer than expected since I’m still not 100% comfortable with inking on a tablet…but its getting there.
Loungin’, original artwork.
As I’ve said before, when I come to an art block, or just sit down to draw something for the sake of drawing, either two things come out: Spiderman, or half naked women.*shrug*
HISTORICAL FIGURE #6
Billie Holiday is amazing and has an incredibly sad life story that seems to seep into all her songs.
