MOTHER OF THE YEAR
SEEMS LIKE ALL THE CELEBS ARE HAVING A BABY (OR BABIES) TO BOOST THEIR SAGGING CAREERS LATELY. WHEN YOUR CAREER'S IN DOUBT, ADD A BABY TO THE MIX AND U GET INSTANT PHOTO OPS AND TABLOID ATTENTION! JOAN CRAWFORD WAS, OF COURSE, THE INVENTOR OF THIS SCHEME. SHE ADOPTED 4 CHILDREN WHO ALL FAMOUSLY TURNED ON HER. SHE EVEN ADOPTED TWIN GIRLS, SO SHE WAS WAY AHEAD OF THE GAME ON THE CELEBS HAVING TWINS AND ADOPTING KIDDIES, BOTH OF WHICH EVERYONE IS DOING NOW. OH JOAN, IS THERE ANYTHING YOU HAVEN'T TAUGHT US?
I HAVE BEEN WANTING TO DRAW THIS COAT FOR A WHILE. IT IS VIKTOR & ROLF FROM F/W 'O7, I THINK. I ALSO WANTED TO DO A PIC OF A FABULOUSLY DRESSED LADY WITH TOO MANY KIDS ON HER HANDS. SO I JUST MIXED THE TWO IDEAS TOGETHER. I USED WATER COLOR ON VELUM TO ADD DEPTH TO THE FLAT PHOTOSHOP COLORING. THEN I SCANNED A COURREGES FUR COAT FROM THE 60'S AND COLLAGED THAT INTO THE MIX AS WELL.
NO WIRE HANGERS WERE USED IN THE MAKING OF THIS PICTURE.
PEN AND INK OF BRISTOL BOARD, WATERCOLOR ON VELUM AND PHOTO COLLAGE + PHOTOSHOP.
