I was hoping I could at least try to make it 5 days in a row with this challenge! Oh well. My excuse: I had a deadline yesterday. I must admit though, its getting tough for me.This past weekend I saw a documentary called "Hollywood Chinese," about Chinese and Chinese Americans portrayed in hollywood movies. So here is a little illo inspired by "The World of Suzie Wong" movies.
Another interesting thing related to this: I was told by a fellow (non-Asian) artist that my art didn't look "Asian." Hmmm? What is that suppose to mean? I was thrown a bit off guard, I didn't know how to answer. Was there an "Asian style" I was suppose to have? Perhaps I haven't done enough Asian-related subjects? Was I suppose to be inspired to write a children's book on the Asian American experience? It really opened a can of worms for me personally.
In the meanwhile, I'll draw some chickens. BTW, the chickens will be Asian.

nice illo. i missed you yesterday. i have been getting used to seeing a new character each day
love that...asian chickens! maybe they could be dining on sushi.
lovely girl! thanks for your comment! i always take a look at your work, so
great!, adoro tu estilo.
i remember a british artist telling me that my work was very american. he was not the first to say this either. which was weird because i'm not even from the americas - north central or south. oh well.
good luck with the challenge.
I really like the hair on this character, very different. I'm always struggling to create new hair styles for the women characters I draw. I don't think I'd try this one you've done though. What's it called, the lumphead? 8 )
She's gorgeous, Jannie :) I can't wait to see more :D
oh asian chickens --- can't wait to see that! heehee
love the bridezilla - LOL - you should do their opening credits with that illo! :)
What the heck does that mean that it's not "Asian enough?" You draw a lot of animal characters...are they supposed to look like anime or something??? I think your work is perfect!!!! Don't change a thing...an Asian chicken would be funny, though, eating some raw fish!
