'i'm a race woman.'

#art #history: billie holiday was born eleanora fagan on this day in 1915. as i usually project a sadness upon her that is likely not entirely accurate, i decided to sketch her this year in full smile.
there's a lot to know about her. you can read more below if that's your bag. she's worth the time, though. i'll tell you that for free.
