Bubble Trouble

She’s not here to pose pretty. She’s here to pop your illusions.

This ink sketch of Marilyn Monroe isn’t your grandma’s glamour shot. It’s a curve-positive, bubble-blowing mic drop. That gum? It’s not just candy—it’s commentary. A puff of defiance in a world that still tries to shrink bold women into bite-sized clichés.

I went full crosshatch chaos on her hair—because perfection is overrated and texture tells the truth. Her eyes? They’re not batting lashes. They’re throwing shade. And that bubble? It’s a middle finger wrapped in cherry gloss.

This piece is part of my unapologetic remix series: vintage icons reimagined with attitude, agency, and a wink. Marilyn’s not asking for your approval. She’s daring you to keep up.

Hand-drawn, no filters, no AI shortcuts—just ink, intention, and a whole lot of cheek.
