A Metallurgical Approach to Bettie Page – 12-03-17

Bettie Page – 24-02-17
Another drawing by me of Bettie Page returning to surrealism again. After scrutinizing her features and estimating what her character would have been like I came to an inescapable conclusion. Eggs, rabbits, dogs and snakes could be derived from her and were essential for her expression.
