Warriors

warrior
cap
cowgirl
kali
me with mermaids

What is a warrior? A photograph comes to mind, something I saw some time ago, of a woman with her shirt off exposing a double-mastectomy, her fist raised in victory but a life-loving smile on her face. I'm not sure if it was titled "warrior" but it was just that in my mind.

Here's a few pieces from the archives - the first is a watercolor, the rest are PhotoShop. The first one is titled "Warrior", the next is Captain America, then a cowgirl, Kali, and finally me and some pissed-off mermaids.

I'll be doing an illo specifically for Monday Artday that I will post tomorrow.

Love the mermaid illustration! I knew before I read your name that it had to be you fighting those mermaids! Are they mad because of the way you drew them? :)

No, they just want to drown me, maybe eat my flesh. You know how mermaids are.

Thanks, Livia! I like Kali too. :) What is it with me and angry women? I should draw Pele next.

I love your watercolor!!! My favorite is the bottom image of a warrior wielding a pencil at the attacking sharp-fanged sea creatures.
