This is so, so cool. I love your idea and beautiful artwork-not too long ago I watched this movie. Fun and very sharp piece!

Amy! This is perfectly wonderful! You've captured the period vibe sp well, right down to her shoes! I love the touch of red on her shoes and the marquee, and the lettering is so realistic! I so enjoy seeing what you come up with each week...it's always a surprise and always delightful. This one is extra special.

The woman with the ruby shoes looks a little like Ms. Stanwyck. Great style for this illustration.

Makes me sorry that most everything coming out of Hollywood (a few exceptions) has to be an overblown cacophony of special effects and noise. Where are the movies that actuallly tell stories?

Unknown said...

THis is beautiful!! Romantic and love the idea!! GREAT job!
