The other day, I was out thrift shopping and found this awesome white-and-gold dress. I really, really wanted to buy it but it just didn't look good against my pale, honky flesh. "This dress would be perfect if I was a black woman," I thought to myself.

So I guess when I flipped my monitor to portrait and wanted to draw something pin-uppy to take advantage of that shape, that's what came falling out.

(High-res copy here if you want to use it for a portrait monitor backdrop, like I am.)

I would really love to find a printer who can make a limited edition of this with the yellow-white replaced by an actual gold ink. That'd be pretty keen, I think. Sadly tugrik tells me his Awesome Printer Of Doom, while pretty awesome, can't handle this. although maybe if I laser-cut a stencil to match and hand-applied the gold? i don't know, physical processes are not my field.
