R.I.P. 14 September 1983 – 23 July 2011 Your fans will miss you dearly. I’m still so shocked, even though I had a feeling it was coming. http://mehrnazart.com
Fierce
Since Pride Week was this past week (and ends today, July 3rd), I thought about making an illustration dedicated to LGBTQ. “Why is it that, as a culture, we are more comfortable seeing two men holding guns than holding hands?” ~Ernest Gaines And if you haven’t seen it yet, check out my new site! http://mehrnazart.com...
Mermaid
I was inspired by many things while making this picture, especially the colours. One of the biggest trends at the moment is the “mermaid” hair, and I must say, I love this trend. If I didn’t have such short hair, I would definitely do this. I just wanted to created a flowy picture, that wouldn’t...
