Description This is the alternate version of a piece I posted not too long ago (seen here: [link] )

With the original, I wrote that this was one of my most personal pieces of art to date...with a deeper meaning than just a woman's body...she represented the BEAUTY and TRUTH of what REAL hip-hop is to me.
Well, I got a couple people who said it might come off as objectifying women. And with all the debate recently about the portrayal of women in comics,(with the new 52 series Red Hood and The Outlaws coming to mind), I started thinking about a modest version and how would I pull it off.

I have to be honest, there's a part of me that died inside when I did this new version. Was I going against my artistic code? And just to kill any last bit of integrity I have left I've decided to make shirts of the image. Details coming soon.

Check out my blog where I speak more on this subject.

:/ I still appreciate the version I bought much better. It's not a piece about objectification....but a piece about who you are, and the beauty of a strong woman and what that means in relation to hip hop. It's kind of sad to see a "politically correct" version.

It was sad for me too. lol I'm trying to take the advice of one fan who said to look at it as a version for the kids.

I can see that. Still, its always upsetting to see your work changed in anyway than you had originally intended it.
