(I decided not to do a Halloween project! But I did decide to do a few portraits - if they came out good- of some really iconic people but a la Randi. Apparently there weren’t as many popular, mainstream black women who were icons or it girls in history. Imagine that ! :P. I could do this project ad infinitum, and with more resources & help the better but until then like always I’ll do what I can with what I got! And take it all a day at a time.)
