I am an editorial illustrator that works in publishing and advertisement. The goal with my illustrations is to help the viewer think deeply about the text. Articles can be cold—merely reporting facts or sharing a story without the personal details. My illustrations allow you to understand the article on a personal level, making it easier to connect to and adding a deeper layer to the piece. Enjoy!

    Pretty much. Sadly many people feel like others should be punished forever due to even simple crimes, like theft.

    Can someone please explain this one? The only thing I know is that her father basically has juristic ownership of her (or something like that) and she's not allowed to do almost anything without his approval

    The piece is commenting on the unfair societal pressures Britney faced as a teen and young adult. I’m not sure what the current situation is with her survivorship, but the media really tore her apart in the early 2000s making it impossible for her to make anyone happy. She’s too fat, now she’s too thin, she’s a bad mom, now she’s smothering her child, etc.

    She is severely mentally ill. You can't use her to generalize about womanhood.

    This is about when she wasn't sick as well. It's what all women face. You're a whore if you show your shoulders you're a prude if you don't. You're too fat. You're too skinny. You don't have sex you're a tease you do have sex you're a s**t. You're a bad mom if you don't breastfeed you're also a bad mom if you don't bottle feed. Britney faced this on a larger scale she couldn't do anything right and it made her have a breakdown which a lot of regular women do too from this push and pull.

    BLM is about deaths and unfair treatment of minorities by law enforcement spanning decades/centuries. Jan 6 was about people throwing a temper tantrum because their candidate lost in an election where their side did all they could to suppress minority votes.

    Official drivers: Leilla Lomardi, Williams, Giovanna Amanti, Brabham. Test drivers: Sussie Wolff, Williams. Tatiana Calderón, Alfa Romero. BTW, this can be like the tweet of Burger King in march 8: Woman belong to the kitchen. Mentioning there are more male chefs than woman. maybe woman don't want to be F1 drivers.
