Artist's Comments

Another piece from my gender illustration class. It's an affirmation of birth control as the glorious victory that it is. (!)

It's the goddess Nike (referenced from the statue Nike of Samothrace, and rendered art-nouveau style) holding aloft the small package of birth-control pills and braced by a wave of condoms. Yes, they are condoms. And yes, I am crazy, because I rendered them all.

Ink on bristol, 11x17"

Funny idea, it looks like an old advertisement. I really like it, especially the dress of the woman and the cute seagull infront! :) Definetively looks like a lot of work!!!
:icontizrak:
Bwahahahahaha! Thanks for sharing that with us ... :)

LOVE it, the concept is so well executed! I think I may have to favourite this not only because it's a fantastic work of art, but it well represents my views as well. =3
:iconzerikazaheroux:
What a great concept. I like it alone for the fact that Nike is in there but after reading your discription, it is just amazing!
Well done!

nice twist to the goddess like concept. All holy and old but, almost advertising new things. Your right it is a glorious victory, nice piece if not for the art but for your views.

XD this is fantastic! I love how at a glance this seems like just another art-nouveau piece, but when i realy looked, i said to myself. "wait...those are condoms!"

Great aproach to showing how wonderful the pill realy is. lol.

I haven't lived your life nor walked in your skin, so I cannot know the journey that has brought you to this day, therefore I will pass no judgment on you for other than what you show me. :boogie:
