This incredible woman is Nadia Murad. I am studying her, her face, her details. I hesitate to even post work that is unfinished, in progress when I have such respect for this person and want to deeply honour her image... More to come.

Attack of 230ft Lady Justice | Pencil crayon on paper 60”x40” from the PulpfictionPolitical collection. Cinematography is a big influence in my design and narratives from a vfx/graphic design history. Women larger than life, taking up space and rewriting their stories from a heroic, confident view is the golden pose. The scene starts early, to open up the dialogue. Will she win or lose? Is there another perspective this arc could take? Inspired by Attack of the 50ft woman, when aliens and Russia where the scariest !

Trying some time management techniques from @leahgoard — looking forward to her SHIFT June 21. I do find there are times in my day I am truly energized by people. Other times I want to be alone to focus on my work.
I always found the Myers Briggs test interesting because some extroversion/ introversion is better suited to specific outcomes.
Have you tried changing the time of day you work — and had success? I can’t seem to change my evening preference for creative work.
Do I need to? #earlybirdgetstheworm
