A digital rough sketch from a while back (maybe 2 years??) that I never posted cause I get worried about what people think, but screw it. Here’s this burlesque dancer I drew. And the initial sketch I started with.

Today, my students are reading Victor LaValle’s Destroyer as we discuss literary adaptations of Frankenstein as well as discourse on police brutality and systemic racism. This graphic novel is brilliant and beautiful in numerous ways. Read it if you haven’t yet!
