Artist's Comments

Sorta over-stimulated right now... I had a bunch of half-done sketches and this was the product of one of them... The ever-so-lovely Erykah Badu in a sorta goddess-type state (she already sorta is, but I just exaggerated on it a little bit).

I found a pic on her myspace page that I dug, and I drew it out on paper first to get a feel for what I wanted to do (I might post that too), and then just re-drew it in Illustrator alongside the pic.

Semi-inspired by my Boots Riley joint. I just fucking love drawing fros.

i love the skinny neck- looks almost like a charicature. i like th black lines on her skin too.
I didn't even recognize her in that photo you were using. i guess i'm so used to seeing her in that turban-like thing!
I like the deconstruction lines in the face.

WOW!!!... I hope this gets the type of "attention" that the Boots Riley one did.
Yeah I sorta followed my drawing a little more... In the ref. pic she had like straight hair, and that ain't typical Badu, so I re-drew the fro.

That'd be damn sweet. I'm gonna try and send it to her somehow... She has a lot of fan art on her page. Maybe I could squeeze in somewhere.

I wanted to give her an other-wordly feel.

I did it sort of as a caricaturesque type thing.

You think there will be peace if you eliminate hunger and disease by giving the mindless masses technological freedom?

Life is conflict...The strong grow through adversity...
