Description
SO GLAD I finally get to post this, hot damn!This is my piece for the upcoming GIRLS: Fact + Fiction show, opening December 7th at the Light Grey Art Lab gallery space in Minneapolis, MN. We were invited to draw any fictional or factual lady of our choice, so I went with Hatshepsut because, well, she’s Hatshepsut. If I am to believe all of those ancient statues of her, she looks damn fine in a pair of aviators.
I’m not going to be able to make the opening myself, but you can check out the invite for the show over on facebook if you’re so inclined and/or local.
PRINTS AND ART BOOK
Also worth mentioning is that the people behind Light Grey Art Lab have already set up an online store for the show! You can pick up prints of all the art, along with a limited edition art book collecting all of the pieces in the show with short blurbs about each of the featured ladies.
You can pick up a print of my piece HERE, and grab the art book HERE. Go forth and look at all the pretty art!

This is fantastic! I actually have an entire book on Hatshepsut. I think she was an amazing woman. I wish she was mentioned more in Ancient History.

Beautiful rendering of my favourite historical figure. And I have to agree that I'm pretty sure Hatshepsut would have been able to rock aviators... I mean, she was able to pull off wearing the pharaoh beard. ^_^

Hatshepsut is my FAVOURITE PHARAOH EVER
She's such a boss though, wearing her ceremonial fake beard and assuming a role that was, until then, meant explicitly for men. I did a project on her in my ancient history class last year and she was just AWESOME

Hatshepsut one of the most awesome historical ladies. I really love this picture! It's really awesome how you combined the graphic and more traditional elements.

Goddamn this is beautiful. You are combining everything I love of beautifully detailed skin/anatomy and clothing that blends into the background. Simplicity and full rendering.
