Blackmask


I was walking home form a doctor's appointment and got an image in my head as I was walking through Madison Square Park. Like yesterday's drawingitt was inspired by Matisse' cutouts as well as an illustrator I follow on Dribbble. But in trying to do yet another silhouetted image of an African man (specifically because I wanted really African features), I wasn't sure if it might come across as racist. So I kept him blue like yesterday's, which is also kind of in keeping with Matisse cutouts. Frankly, he also looks like he could be a sage Filipino or other Asian man wearing a mask, the kind you might encouner ona  dusty road in the provinces in some kung fu movie.
