My Hatshepsut piece for the upcoming GIRLS: Fact + Fiction show, opening December 7th at the Light Grey Art Lab gallery space in Minneapolis, MN!
We were invited to draw any fictional or factual lady of our choice, so I went with Hatshepsut because, well, she’s Hatshepsut. If I am to believe all of those ancient statues of her, she looks damn fine in a pair of aviators.
I’m not going to be able to make the opening myself, but you can check out the invite for the show over on facebook if you’re so inclined and/or local. :)
PRINTS AND ART BOOKAlso worth mentioning is that the people behind Light Grey Art Lab have already set up an online store for the show! You can pick up prints of all the art, along with a limited edition art book collecting all of the pieces in the show with short blurbs about each of the featured ladies.
You can pick up a print of my piece HERE, and grab the art book HERE. Go forth and look at all the pretty art!

Bai Su Zhen and Xu Xian

The Lady White Snake, Bai Su Zhen, and the Scholar, Xu Xian loved each other deeply. All was well until the monk, Fa Hai, tried to separate them.
Bai Su Zhen remained defiant; “What right have you, to separate two souls in love?”
To which the monk replied, “By the laws of nature, and heaven’s edict.” So saying, he sealed her away in the Lei Feng Pagoda.

For the Traversing Realms print compliation. I chose to illustrate a folktale which, for obvious reasons, means a lot to me. Prints are available online through the link.

I think this is finally done! Thank you for all your support on the work in progress version. :)
This was inspired in part by an awesome scifi comic my friend pigeonsoup has been working on (although this ended up having little to do with her story; sorry!! XD), and in part by a conversation I had at a recent scifi convention about working with more abstracted elements and iconic imagery; I felt like it gave me permission to do more of the type of art I like doing best. :)
