Color quote project for graphics class. Went with this since black is always called “evil” and “scary” and I wanted people to see something more positive for once. Still needs work but so far I like it. Critiques are more than welcome.

“Still needs work”?
“Critiques are more than welcome”??
What you talking bout, it’s perfect!

No other cultural sculptures had the noses removed time and time again by those who took that area over. It ain’t some “The nose was the easiest thing to steal” bs either.

more like, we don’t want you to know how wide that nose was…

^^^My father always says that too

The majority of the Egyptian artifacts in the British Museum that include human faces have their noses removed. The few that remain are more “European” for the most part, and there is one (just one) where the nose is distinctly, undeniably, unabashedly African and is still connected to the face.
