Erykah Badu and the Big City

Hey guys! First new art on my account in a long time! I'm pretty excited about this piece. A while back I found a black and white portrait of the beautiful Erykah Badu and I had to try my hand at interpreting it. This is the result.

The color palate and background are all heavily inspired by Conrad Knutsen's "1962 Jazz In New York." And by heavily inspired I mean I tried to recreate it essentially.

This picture gave me a chance to try a couple of new techniques. Hope ya'll enjoy it .

P.S. click download for full view. I noticed some errors this morning that I was too tired to see last night, so here's the fixed version!
