Their Eyes were Watching God Quote

This is my photoshop art that incorporates/interprets a quote from Zora Neale Hurston's book Their Eyes were Watching God. A suggestion was made to set the scene in Harlem so I do so by setting it in a Harlem-like subway station. Then I placed a girl walking away from the the "camera" and into the subway station with a "handsome woman" seeming to emerge from the other door. This is my artistic interpretation of the quote, which I placed in the bottom left, and I like the way it turned out.

Tattoo Design

This is my tattoo design. It is based off the infamous ancient egyptian eye but has a unique spin on it. The tattoo has an interesting pattern making up the shape of the eye with a rainbow-type color scheme. I also added "stroke" to outline the pattern more and to further bring out the shape of the eye. I liked this project and the way my design turned it out. This tattoo is aimed more towards women but who am I to say that men can't get it too!
