An abandoned painting of Cersei and Jaime, maybe one day I’ll complete it.

Classic Hollywood playing cards

I finally took pictures of this old project (so many things I would change here…oh well). It’s an old Hollywood-themed deck of cards, with a suit for each of the studio era decades (so one suit is the 20’s, one’s the 30’s, one the 40’s and one the 50’s). Every numbered card features a film from the year it represents; for instance, card number two of the 40’s suit shows Casablanca (1942).
The king, queen and jack cards are actors who had been given nicknames along the lines of “the queen of Hollywood”, “the first lady of Hollywood” and so on (my personal favourite cards are Myrna Loy and Fay Wray).

On the responsibility that comes with her skin color: “I don’t feel like the responsibility I feel comes from any place other than my gut. I feel a responsibility to speak about certain things because I wish someone had spoken about them for me. I know I’m in a unique position where lots of people all over the world are seeing me and connecting with me, and perhaps because of my demographic and how limited representation is for my demographic, I do feel not a responsibility but an impetus to speak. It’s an impetus. It’s 2015, man. We could all use some diversity. It can get tedious to have to explain that I speak English because Kenyans speak English.” – Harper’s Bazaar UK, May 2015
