A Face Study

This is the newest page in my quote book. It turned out a little more bleak than expected but...what can you do?

THE BACK STORY:
This quote was torn from page 103 of the recent January issue of Vogue.
Spoken by Jeanine Lobell, founder of Stila Cosmetics, in an article showcasing actress Natalie Portman; the quote is less about her acting and more about her character.
I drew the man on the left late one night really sporadically. Apparently that's what I think about when I can't sleep on weekdays--apathetic Frenchmen...perhaps I'll name him Mersault. I don't know what I was going for with the extremely creepy mask of a woman on the right. Conject at will.

THOUGHTS:
It certainly made me think...is she right? Her argument is that as people get older and they're not good on the inside, it starts to show on the outside. I think I agree with her but I also think it's comforting that she's the founder of a high-end make-up line, meaning that where ever I should fall, I can change my fate and just apply a little powder. There. Good as beautiful.
