Personal project muse portrait of musical artist Janelle Monae, who has been one of my favorite artists in music and has been over the past 5 years. I wanted to capture her essence of mystery. Inspired by her android persona, Cyndi Mayweather, I added her signature android ID number: 57821 on her tie.
Jane is not to be messed with and is way ahead of the "game".
I love everything she stands for. A poise black classy woman on a mission.
"I'm cutting up, don't cut me down"... -Q.U.E.E.N.
Janelle recently partnerered her indie label, Wondaland with Epic Records and quoted
"We come in peace, but we mean business..."
Materials: Pen and ink on watercolor paper with digital finishes.
Keep scrollin' for my progress in reverse....
I screamed inside to recieve feedback from the droid herself, on instagram. It was a sweet suprise that made my night.
Thanks for stopping by!
