Comments on: What a Ralph Lauren Model Might Look Like With a Ribcage http://jenniart.com/what-a-ralph-lauren-model-might-look-like-with-a-ribcage/ art and design by jenni chasteen Sun, 02 May 2010 07:09:12 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Duncan Long http://jenniart.com/what-a-ralph-lauren-model-might-look-like-with-a-ribcage/comment-page-1/#comment-16 Duncan Long Tue, 23 Feb 2010 21:48:20 +0000 http://jenniart.com/?p=509#comment-16 Nice reworking of the butchered photo. Had a beginner sent the original picture to me as a demonstration of their skills, I would have written back advising them to study accounting. That this is the results (apparently wanted) by a company is nothing short of amazing. How sad that the "picture perfect" female form is now looking like someone that stepped out of a UFO. I guess every culture has a "norm" it aims to present as perfect. It is too bad that for those pushing this culture the norm has become such a monstrosity. --Duncan ===================== Freelance illustrator for HarperCollins, PS Publishing, Pocket Books, Solomon Press, Ballistic Publishing, American Media, Fort Ross, Asimov's Science Fiction, etc. See my book cover illustrations at: http://DuncanLong.com/art.html Nice reworking of the butchered photo.
