Illustration Friday | “Modify”
For Illustration Friday, The word was “Modify.”
The inspiration for this piece >>
| “At one time we have directed it to the statuesque and aristocratic type of beauty, mixing men’s vanity with their desires and encouraging the race to breed chiefly from the most arrogant and prodigal women.

At present we are on the opposite track. The age of jazz has succeeded the age of the waltz, and we now teach men to like women whose bodies are scarcely distinguishable from those of boys. Since this is a kind of beauty even more transitory than most, we thus aggravate the female’s chronic horror of growing old (with many excellent results) and render her less willing and less able to bear children…” - C.

Some sketches from D.C. today, crowds waiting for the fireworks over the river and monument. Lots of red white & blue, folding chairs and coolers!
