"Practice makes perfect..."

Coco Quote

This is a little inspiration poster I made for myself. I love this quote from Coco Chanel. I was inspired by the two Coco Chanel movies that came out recently. What a cool lady!

Anyways, please feel free to print one out for yourself. However, please be nice, give credit where it's due, and don't sell what ain't yours to sell. Gracias, amigos!

Illustration Friday: Theory

Illustration Friday: Theory, originally uploaded by soulofarose.

This is my submission for Illustration Friday's theme of "Theory." Pictured here is Jacques Derrida, the well-known twentieth-century literary theorist. "Différance" is a word that Derrida coined; it is a complicated concept/word that I will not attempt to explain here. In any case, the word "theory" reminded me of this great theorist.

The writing that serves as the background in this image is actually a portion of the work of Derrida. Thanks to this page, I was able to get the French as well as the English translation of Derrida's description of différance.

I hope you enjoy!
