queerthestreets:There’s Too Much Sexist Street Art A certain amount of street art paints women in a not very empowering way. Often women are painted with hyper-sexualized, unrealistic body shapes (over-sized lips, boobs, butts, and tiny waists). This always bothers me. There are so many degrading images of women in advertisements scattered around the city and on tv. Its sad to me when artists do the same exact thing. Personally, I’d rather see women painted as if they are people with their own identity, rather than simply a decorative element. These paintings are based on 2 bad ass queer feminists that I’ve drawn inspiration from. I hope you enjoy them. xx -- source link
