For #musicwomenwednesday , I want to highlight Gladys Bentley, an American #blues singer, #pianist, and entertainer during the Harlem Renaissance.
I drew and foiled this #portrait as a part of a series of 18 #portraits that I #donated to the SF LGBT Center last year, highlighting #lgbtq icons from past and present.
Image of the day is Spiky, an in-camera double exposure on film.

Near me there are no cacti large enough that I can use them for textures. On a business trip to Berlin in March, I found a couple of hours to check the Botanical Garden and the desert glasshouse there had these amazing cacti. This is one of the images that came out of it.
I love my work as an illustrator. I also love my work as a pet-sitter. I absolutely love it when my two jobs collide.
This is a pencil portrait I drew for a pet-sit client.

Today at the hawker centre, there was a little girl who drew my portrait! I’m so impressed! She captured my bun with hairclips in it, she captured my bangs and the locks of hair I have in the front, framing my face. She captured my striped T-shirt and the face mask I had on my wrist. She captured the peace sign I made in the picture we had just taken. She even drew a cat for me! How did she know I loved cats‽
I decided to sculpt this guy as a single mesh, instead of the usual blocking out with separate primitives. Then I separated the shirt once that was sufficiently shaped.
