Erykah Badu "22 x "28 Oil on Canvas



One of my favorite black and white studies.  Soul music... if ever there was a picture to represent it properly, this is defintely it, within the realm of the more current artists... plus, I dig her swag.  I already thought that the original image was dynamic in its own right, but nevertheless, I sought to put my own spin on it, so I changed up the microphone to something that was a bit less phallic in shape (lol, you know, for class etiquette puropses) and basically cropped enough to still maintain the same feel but more forced in a black and white scope.  ..and so the emphasis remains on the look.  Compelling, or like we say in the streets, all the way charged!
