The Girl With Punk Hair

The girl with punk hair

I made this new poster from some drawings in my sketchbook. It was a long time coming, but it was worth the wait. It started as a "what if " drawing, and over a year or so, it grew into this poster.

Later, while revisiting the sketch, it reminded me of an amulet—an object designed not just to be looked at, but to be held close, trusted, and carried—a kind of spiritual tool. In the drawing, I used layers of blue and black ink, with energetic crosshatch marks and long brushstrokes to evoke a kind of atmosphere—a hard, ancient sky pressing down, or perhaps a protective energy pushing outward.
