Aura-flare - Drawings And Stuff (mainly Stuff)

THE COCOAPUFF GIRLS

So about this project. For awhile now I’ve noticed almost every single time I see a darker skinned black woman “going viral”, she’s half naked, oiled up, and/or sexualized in some way shape or form. It’s very rarely ever “Look at this amazing dark skinned woman who accomplished this thing.” Or “Look at her smile, she’s gorgeous”.  Please don’t misinterpret what I’m saying. There is nothing wrong with darker women and black women in general being free and expressive about their sexuality and provocative features. BUT that is NOT ALL they are. They are so much more than sexual beings, but for some reason, that seems to be almost the only thing that grabs viral appreciation. So here’s my attempt to have darker skinned black women go viral for just being cute, creative, stylish, bubbly, beautiful, and black. Aside from the videographer EVERYONE involved in this project IS A BLACK WOMAN. I hope you guys like it. I ask that if you enjoyed this and agree with my objective, share it with a few people please.

A special thank you to @aggienes, I couldn’t have done this without her.

New Surreal Animal Sculptures by Ellen Jewett

Artist Ellen Jewett’s (previously featured here) newest surreal animal sculptures are a reflection of her extensive background in anthropology, medical illustration, exotic animal care, and surprisingly stop-motion animation. Dream-like and unique, Jewett uses potentially toxic materials, such as paints, glazes and finishes to achieve her desired results. Much like nature, filled with imperfections and lethal traces, Jewett’s goal is to deliver a raw, earthy product: one with fingerprints and other small flaws. You can view more of her contemporary work on her Etsy shop.
