I showed this image to a friend on IG.
Her: Ha. You got the idea from a post Tyler Shields put up recently.
Me: HOW DARE YE! I will not dignify that attack with a response!
She was right. Tyler Shields posted a giant closeup of a pair of lips. I thought, “Hey! I’ve got some lips too.” It was the same thing like the April O’Neil/Huey Lewis scenario. I found a photo that I liked but right next to it was a dark photo from the same series. The flash failed to fire. I started playing with that image and produced this. A little artsy-fartsy. A little sexy. A little different.
