Watercolor Sketch of Brittany S. Pierce, Not Britney Spears

Brittany S. Pierce of Glee

I'm having a bit of a personal art renaissance, so I'm going back to creating pieces I've always wanted to do, but was too busy or nervous to pursue my own personal style. As of late, I've been very inspired by such artists as Kei Acedera, Brittney Lee, and Liana Hee. 

One of the pieces is this watercolor sketch of Brittany S. Pierce from Glee. Not to be mistaken with Britney Spears, even though she's awesome. I really like the elongated body of the actress who plays Brittany, and I thought she looked great doing the Britney Spears dance numbers on Glee.

“Because my name is also Brittany “S-Pierce”. My middle name is Susan, last name is Pierce – that makes me Brittany S. Pierce. I’ve lived my whole life in Britney Spears’ shadow. I will never be as talented or as famous. I hope you all respect that I want glee club to remain a place where I, Brittany S. Pierce, can escape the torment of Britney Spears.”

Aimee Mullins-inspired Can-Can Dancer with Wooden Leg

I'd recently watched this video with Aimee Mullins on Ted Talks. It was such an inspiring video and I found a new hero in Aimee. I decided to do a piece with 2 of my favorite things: Can-can dancers and Aimee Mullins:
Handi-capable Dancer
Aimee is an amazing lady. I've never heard of anyone turning their handicap into life-altering inspiration! Talk about focusing on the positives, she's made herself into a beautiful piece of art. Here she is, the woman behind the fantasy:
