When I had my paper, pencils, erasers and several pictures searching for references for a new Lempicka charicature for my series, nothing came out.

I was very sad and worried about some personal problems that day and I had that Joan Crawford by George Hurrell picture in front of me.

I just started drawing.

This was the result of my little frustrated moment.

While I was making it, I laughed and thought by myself "Why would a woman look so sad in such a fur coat?!! If I ever had the weather and the money to have a fur coat like that I'd never look like that"

And then I looked at myself and said "Damn, I've got so many wonderful things in my life, so many wonderful people around me, so many beautiful oportunities and experiences, why the hell am I that sad?!"

My life is my fur coat. And I am happy with it. So sorry for Joan in her fur coat. So sorry so many people feel bad not even knowing how happy they are.

This deviation is dedicated to *SalFish , hope you are feeling better dear

And it was also made for this contest [link] held by =christiana

My recurring themes are two in this deviation: Sadness and Glamour.

Glamour is the main theme in my art as I believe women must believe and impose their glamour and feminine features in a world filled with masculine and feminist women.

Sadness is a recurring theme for everybody, in any time of their lives and in any part of the world. Young or old, Man or Woman, Black or White, Rich or poor...You name it!

Hope you like this guys!! Feel free to comment!
