Sketch du Jour.

I recently discovered a folder full o' scans of some sketches I've done. Keep your eyes open for some more over the next few months but here's today's - a sketch of a photo by R Avedon of Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel I saw in the Pompidou.
Although Chanel allowed herself to be seduced by the Nazis and was arguably very dishonest in her climb to success, she was a talented revolutionaire and pioneer in elegant simplicity and because of this an inspiration to Foh Pea.
American Richard Avedon fortunately was a much more ethical individual and an excellent photographer. He had a huge influence on the career of, amoung others, China Machado. He died in 2004 at the age of 81 and hadn't yet retired.

See y'all later,
