I’ve been having a wonderful time working on these little cards. I’ve decided to call this young woman Mitzi. I have no idea why. It just seems to be her name. She’s inspired by Louise Brooks and Clara Bow, two of my favorite silent film stars. Mitzi seems audacious and crafty. You know, the type of person who never gets into trouble no matter what they get into. She’s be fun to go out with, but you would never tell her any of your secrets.

I’d agree, she really looks as if here name was Mitzi ^^!

I don’t think I’d trust her either! I love your portrait art cards, they do have so much character!
The historical series on African American presidential candidates is fascinating. You have so much life in your portrait work.

Kim: Thanks a lot. I wondered about the background. I was afraid it would make her look like she was in jail. 😛 Glad you like it.

Your portrait drawings are amazingly lifelike and the viewer has no trouble in deciding who they are. I really like the Clara Bow type girl. She has a really cheeky expression and a come hither look in her eyes. Great stuff.
