Multiple Panel Inspiration

 My main inspiration is old Hollywood and starlets of the 1950s, like Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, and Dorothy Dandridge. I want to explore their talents and extreme beauty, but their often tragic lives as well.

My inspiration for the visuals/style of my piece is 1950s comics books/teen magazines and 1950s horror movie posters. 

From the artists provided my Professor Laura, I enjoyed the works of Joanna Helfer. I want to utilize the collage style and messy nature of the piece on the blog.

Joanna has also done several comic strips that I want to emulate.
