Slum yum yum

This is the beginning of the first painting I've done in a while just for fun. In my environmental sociology class we watched a movie about maquiladoras, who are Mexican women who work in factories on the US-Mexico border. The slums they live in are often contaminated with toxic chemicals. I had a vague idea for a painting, so I figured I'd just kind of make it up as I go. I kind of messed it up last night during an impromptu work party with my illustration friends, but I'll fix it. Especially since I have spring break this week which means FREE TIME! Updates to come!
