"Wendy Meets a Black Man"

I want to start off by saying no disrespect at all to the Wendy's fastfood chain or to Dave Thomas.

I admittedly do a lot of tongue and cheek artwork that blurs lines. I can't tell you how or why i come up with these images but i do. There are 2 parts to this drawing the comical side and the serious side as well. I once read that sometimes in order for you to get your point across you have to use certain tools until all is out in the open.

There is no mystery to anyone that for the past couple of years the Wendy character from the food chain has become more animated. She is now more across, motioning, as well as winking in their TV ads now. Wendy is no longer the homesome character that they created. Understandably with time she had to change as well. Therefor i came up with an mental idea that hopefully some will understand. Eventually everyone will attempt to break away from the rules that their parents has stressed to set in order to learn more about themselves. Everyone one has experimented and some experiment more than others. So what if Wendy had left the comfort of her red circle and just so happened to become interested in a black guy? Just what if they shared a sensual moment together? I joke among dating African American is "that once you go black you never go back!" which means you never want to stop dating African Americans.

That was the comical side now to how it is a direct reflection of my life. I was out with friends at a bar and a female friend asked me "do i like white girls?" I don't color classify anyone girl that i like or that i chose to date. I date women and yes i have dated girls from different ethnic backgrounds that aren't my own. I've even dated black girls who were raised with different values than the ones that i have. I know this may sound very cliche but i try to date people who are level head and have good values. Don't get my wrong it doesn't always turn out that way but i try what i can. By nature i'm an artist who doesn't like to get caught up in a world of 2 colors. I'm exploring in hopes that i can learn more about myself and i encourage everyone else to do the same.
