Cigarettes and Furs

Sophistication. 


That's one of the words I associate with divas. And when it comes to images, there are many. 

One image is of some super rich gal, circa 1950's, draped in fur. She has a matching hat. There's a cigarette in one hand and an equally glamorous pooch either carried or on a leash in the other.

Today that reality would be wrong on a couple of levels. Thankfully, no animals nor lungs were harmed in my illustration.  ;-)

She's still a draft.  I still want to incorporate a couple of ideas.  I'm leaning toward a cat.  Poodles are so typical.  

I want to give it some more energy.  I'm thinking the legs could be exaggerated for the energy I'm trying to capture.

However, I don't want to clean it up too terribly much.  It needs to stay loose and whimsical.  

I'll be visiting peeps and fam in Atlanta this weekend.  This will probably take longer than I originally planned.  But once I get my mind set on something, it gets done when it gets done. 

And it's always worth it!

Diva Sightings - Poochie Poochie Coo!

Spotted this furry slice of cuteness downtown one weekend.  I'm guessing any owner of such a pedigree has at least an ounce or two of diva blood coursing through their veins!  :-)
