flashing lights Aug 20, 2009by amanda3 Comments

click to see it bigger!! (looks better that way)

So I was sitting there, at the computer as always, and Kanye West’s Flashing Lights (feat. Dwele) – (a.k.a. the niptuck song) blared out of my itunes and I suddenly had the urge to draw this girl in an exaggerated, sexy/animalistic pose. I also listened to Paparazzi by Lady Gaga which was odd becase those lyrics also include “flashing lights”. Despite all of this glamorous inspirational music, I think she ended up looking like a vampire…which makes sense I suppose, vamps can be very glamorous.
