How A small sketch on a piece of paper became inspiration for a series of paintings and prints. Inspired by glossy fashion magazine advertising, R.A. Vizcarra drew together a series of lips from the photographs of super models found in magazine pages. Some time later, this small drawing inspired the first of three paintings and several years later, a series of silkscreen prints.
