in the past month i enjoyed a brief respite at a burlesque festival followed up by a night of rockabilly fun watching the royal crowns heat up the stage… so needless to say i’ve been itching to put pen to paper and let my imagination dance. well this lil’ lady flowed out like honey.

i tend to be more cut and dry with my colouring – basic two tones usually make me happy, but i wanted to try a little something different here. so a bit more laying of colour and a lot of line holds… i might continue the experiment on future pieces to give the ladies a softer look

i was traveling not too long ago and a girl familiar with my work and my website asked me “so what exactly is your kind of girl ramon?”… i didn’t really have an answer for her then. but i watched a movie recently – pushover (1952) starring richard quine and fred macmurray as an aging cop who falls in love with a bank robber’s girlfriend played by a young kim novak. the young cop, quine, asks the older macmurray in regards to women and settling down “what keeps you single?” , macmurray replies “maybe i like ‘em too much.” – i think i concur.

hope to back sooner than later with a few more ladies for you all to peruse. in the meantime click back a couple posts and see a couple of ladies by helle and mclachlan that snuck in last month…

cheers,
