Description I've become re-inspired recently by Naoko Takeuchi's older works pre-Sailor Moon era. This particular drawing was inspired by 'Maria'. I was determined to use an oval doily. I want to try to do thinner more delicate line art like Naoko as well. But thats for later. Although this work is INSPIRED by another artist it is a picture of my own character. Enjoy
Alyssa Stehle, Lincoln Member Since August 2015 Artist Statement I grew up in Chicago Illinois but currently live in Lincoln Nebraska. I've been drawing most of my life, and because of that, it is a major part of my life. Early on I was influenced my my mother and great grandmother's art combined with the rising popularity of anime in the 90's. As a teen I became mesmerized my surrealism and dada. Now it seems I'm easily influenced by retro kitsch. I love collecting prints!
