Instead of being stirred by the political issue here, all I can think of is how sloppy the technical writing is. I guess putting “And I’m a sex worker” at the end is supposed to be the twist/shock, but it really just looks tacked on and reads awkwardly.

What if they started the paragraph with “I’m a sex worker.” instead? That would be sure to get the attention of the readers, and make their statements that much bolder.

Though, I guess there’s the problem of people reading the rest of the paragraph with the mindset of it being tainted somehow…

…really, they should just come up with a tagline that stands on its own. “And I’m a sex worker.” does not. 

Also, we’ve used the grey long-sleeved shirt lady stock photo in a number of designs before. 

ARgh once you are a graphic designer you can never see things the same way again.

(also I think the ‘I chose the job that suits my needs’ would be better if it was ‘I chose the job that suited my needs’ – tense consistency and all that.)

Well, it might have taken a couple of years to get all of the materials together, but the new Character Page is finally up on the Lackadaisy site.  Many thanks to Jay Lim for the technical help.  Just click the images to see the character descriptions.

The art takes inspiration mostly from commercial styles of the early 20th Century – things such as Knapp-Felt, Arrow Collar and Austin Reed ads, vintage film posters, the Saturday Evening Post and paintings of Tamara de Lempicka.

There’s a large wallpaper sized collage of the artwork here too.
