It’s time for me to dive into VR to make some fresh illustrations for Jazz Age Wednesdays on Teagan’s Books.
I’ll be back on Monday 4/16/18

“I Wanna Be Loved by You” by Herbert Stothart and Harry Ruby
Recorded by Helen Kane
A perfect soundtrack for Hullaba Lulu, Rob. “I want to be loved by you” could easily reflect Lulu’s conflicted attitude about Valentino. Have a sublime Sunday. Hugs.

Yes, all the characters/personalities are works in progress as the things guide me to unexpected traits. 🙂 Hugs.

The women of that age staged a revolution that history has mostly ignored; yet the way we live now was introduced by them. I find it interesting that the ‘Flapper’ is primarily remembered as frivolous but the ‘style’ was a political statement.

I didn’t know that. You should write a post about it.

I’ll have to think about a way in, if that makes sense. What piques my curiosity is why it happened: was it women winning the vote or was it a sudden shift in consciousness? Why does our species have these bursts of social evolution?

I think, Rob, that winning the vote may have played a bit role. The Suffragettes were significant emancipating leaders and those always have a massive impact on people.

That and the Freudian conception of the subconscious.

Now that I think about it, there’s something magical about entering a 3 dimensional environment to make theatrical illustrations?

Using it to illustrate a story is a little like staging a play. It’s a fun challenge.

She had a great voice. The only version I was familiar with was the one sung by Monroe in ‘Some Like it Hot’. https://youtu.be/WQIvhotZSUw
