When I was a young girl growing up in and around Motown I wanted to look like this. Unfortunately this was impossible, because little blond Polish girls don't grow good Afro's.
The phrase is a play on the language of the fashion industry when a new color trend emerges: ("grey is the new black"; "brown is the new black" etc...)
She's an image that started as a doodle several years ago. She evolved into a painting, and now, thanks to the world of digital, is now an 8x10 poster-style art print. She's available at Crazy Funky Cool. I hope to develop several variations of her in the near future.
In other news: today is the day I have long waited for: I am FINALLY going to get my iPhone. I have been an Apple FREAK for over 20 years. I think this is one of those techy devices that lives up to the hype... anyone I know who has one is totally in love with it. Being such a Mac geek I think it will tie in seamlessly with my digital world. I'm not happy that I HAVE to switch phone companies (I believe Congress is actually looking into the legality of this), but it's not that big of a deal.
My husband is not a sucker to the hype like I am. He uses his company-provided Blackberry (which has a totally LAME interface) and he's ok with it. So, whatever!
But: I AM SO EXCITED!
Shallow? Yes.
But YAY!!!!

I love her... I love fro's... I'm a German redhead... I get no fro.
I do get to play with my nephews though.. He even lets me pick it out... He's a good kid!
Afro lady is back! Yea! She is one of the handful of characters that got me following you originally on flickr. I loved the simplicity in their design.
Congrats on the new phone. I guess I'm with your husband and I won't really "get" the new technology. I've had my flip phone for about four years now and he thinks I'm completely insane!
