Appropriately, writer and radio producer Starlee Kine offers the perspective that suggests that self-help information is so prevalent and abundant, it overwhelms and creates an inability to actually solve anyone’s problems. Or, as better said in Kine's own words: "The more self help I am surrounded with, the less it seems to work." The aim of this illustration was to embody self-help as an entity that unfortunately buries and drowns rather than alleviates or elevates. Thanks so much to GOOD for the wonderful opportunity to contribute to such a fantastic issue.

Within this collection, there are reoccurring bodily postures and physical gestures that contribute to a visual vocabulary of icons and signs constantly present within the fashion industry. By the widespread use of this developed vocabulary and universal lexicon, the sources and origins of an image/figure begin to flatten as they become anonymous and largely unimportant. Through this collection of drawings I hope to highlight these iconic postures as well as their displaced origin. You can find more pieces from this series over at my drawing/process blog Yeah Okay Sure. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/125545/1750236/pp_01_twiggy.jpg" border="0" width="514" height="700" width_o="514" height_o="700" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/125545/1750236/pp_01_twiggy_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/125545/1750236/pp_02_leanback.jpg" border="0" width="538" height="700" width_o="538" height_o="700" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/125545/1750236/pp_02_leanback_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/125545/1750236/pp_03_harvestvest.jpg" border="0" width="515" height="700" width_o="515" height_o="700" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/125545/1750236/pp_03_harvestvest_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/125545/1750236/pp_04_armsonhips.jpg" border="0" width="541" height="700" width_o="541" height_o="700" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/125545/1750236/pp_04_armsonhips_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/125545/1750236/pp_05_patty.jpg" border="0" width="554" height="700" width_o="554" height_o="700" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/125545/1750236/pp_05_patty_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/125545/1750236/pp_06_blueheaddress01.jpg" border="0" width="519" height="700" width_o="519" height_o="700" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/125545/1750236/pp_06_blueheaddress01_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/125545/1750236/pp_07_sitback.jpg" border="0" width="527" height="700" width_o="527" height_o="700" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/125545/1750236/pp_07_sitback_o.jpg" align="left" /> {<img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/125545/1750236/pp_08_trianglejump.jpg" border="0" width="533" height="700" width_o="533" height_o="700" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/125545/1750236/pp_08_trianglejump_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/125545/1750236/pp_10_clasp.jpg" border="0" width="527" height="700" width_o="527" height_o="700" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/125545/1750236/pp_10_clasp_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/125545/1750236/pp_11_twiggytwo.jpg" border="0" width="518" height="700" width_o="518" height_o="700" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/125545/1750236/pp_11_twiggytwo_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/125545/1750236/pp_12_covet.jpg" border="0" width="534" height="700" width_o="534" height_o="700" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/125545/1750236/pp_12_covet_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/125545/1750236/pp_13_blueheaddress02.jpg" border="0" width="499" height="700" width_o="499" height_o="700" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/125545/1750236/pp_13_blueheaddress02_o.jpg" align="left" /> http://cargocollective.com/allegralockstadt/Ghost-Comics http://cargocollective.com/allegralockstadt/following/allegralockstadt/Ghost-Comics Wed, 29 Jun 2011 03:35:31 +0000 Allegra Lockstadt 1659046 Illustration for the cover of Ghost Comics Anthology edited by Ed Choy Moorman Winner of the Xeric Grant in 2008, Ghost Comics is a collection of comics, images and stories about Ghosts and the like.
