I quickly knew this would be one of my favorites. Understandably Ms. Badu is beautiful and I had become very comfortable with a paintbrush, but the experiment with graphical elements took it up another notch. The design within the hair has very precise measurements to create illusion of wavering lines but the lines are perfectly parallel. Visually there is a battle between the luster of her striking, natural beauty and the mathematical matrix of her afro...just as long as you keep looking I'm happy.
