stylised digital ink illustration i drew of iconic actor, dancer, singer, performer, civil rights activist & resistance fighter, josephine baker. here, she's dramatic in 3/4 profile. she looks towards the ground, her hair swept into an immaculate updo. large earrings dangle from her ears & a dramatic mid-emerald moon shape lights her from the back. colours are black, hot lavender, hot pink, fuchsia & mid-emerald.
