For the Draw With Jazza February 2018 challenge of the month. I went with Johannes Vermeer's 'Girl With The Pearl Earring' (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d7/Meisje_met_de_parel.jpg) and gave her a 90's look.
So, there's the Jennifer Aniston haircut, the gold tooth, the thin eyebrows, the red lipstick and not much eye makeup, sundress over the t-shirt, the flair (Officespace) with a quote from American Pie, a nod to pagers which have now been replaced by mobile phones and a nod to the graffiti which went on to name a huge hit song of the 90's by the rock band Nirvana. The name badge is both a nod to the VHS cassette which remained popular throughout the 90's as well as the character Jenny, the love of Forrest Gump's life.
I changed this piece around quite a bit initially, I'm happy with how it came out.
Thank you for the opportunity to enter these amazing challenges.
