Good Hair 2

Description

This is an 8 x 10 pastel on Canson paper. First off, I want to give love to all the queens who where their naturals proudly. You're beautiful and don't let anyone tell you differently. If someone wants to press the issue, send them to me. I'll straighten them out.

This is the second piece in this series. It takes alot of stregnth for women to reject the perm and go natural, so I applaud the stregnth of those who are able to do it. I am not downing women who do straighten their hair. By all means, do you. If it makes you feel good, then go with it. Your hair doesn't define you. Just please don't clown those in their naturals. I hate when I see a group of women or men belittling the one natural person they see in the crowd. Show respect. Their leading a revolution that most can't understand.

Hotep,

Natiq...

Very nice, and great message. I know where you are coming from, and one of my goals is to help fight this false image of beauty that is thrust upon us. I want to make a black comic character unlike any you have seen. A strong, proudly black, African influenced, female protagonist. Seeing images like this is really inspiring for me and I just want to thank you so much for sharing your beautiful artworks.
Please do look through my profile if you have the chance. I don't have much to show, but have a small collection of paintings, comic pages as well as concepts. Would really appreciate your advice and suggestions if you have any.
