What is sexy? My client said that her logo didn't have to look like her, but it should look 'sexy'. "What does that mean?" I asked her. She said she would like me to draw long eyelashes and pouty lips. Here's the picture I created for her guests to sign on the mat at her Launch Party. Along with the reference Photos that I was working from:
And here's an extra picture that I sent - because my client suggested midway through the project that I color the skin brown. After we discussed it, she decided to give me free-reign to create the piece, but I played around with it anyway. There are so many decisions that an Artist can make. So many different ways to express her visions:
The client said that she loved the drawing. But, she continued, "I have one request can you go a little easy on the lips for the one you are emailing me. Can they be more like I'm kissing someone!" (She had ordered two pictures. One to be displayed at the Party, and another to be used on her website and business-paraphenalia.)
"Oh!" I thought. "Oh! Perhaps 'pouty' is just a word to describe what we'd actually See if we saw inside a soft kiss!"
"And maybe, Maybe" I thought, "We Interpret any eyelashes as being Long when we slow down so much that we'd actually feel those little things with our eyes closed."
Maybe it has less to do with the thoughts that might causes Pout Lips and Long Eyelashes in our platonic interactions than it really has to do with Sensuality - the physical feel of Pouty Lips and Long Eyelashes.
Here's the Digital version that I designed for the new Spa:
Whew - It's not easy to be an Artist. I really have to go through all that soul-searching from the sorts of things that people say to me. I also have to relive my life in comparison to the Parties that I go to. What was I like when I was 13? What was I like when I was 21? Am I generous enough now? Do these people have better relationships than I have now?
All that - Real Art. From my heart. It's important that I feel okay about it. So I can go on. I'm so glad that I get responses like I got after sending this one. The client wrote to me (paraphrased):
It has been a pleasure! I'm so glad you're into my life. Thank you so much! I so much appreciated this.
