Keep A Breast Cast #2- “Check Yourself” Katy Perry

This cast was for Keep A Breast’s “Check Yourself” cards they hand out that explain the proper methods of screening oneself for signs of breast cancer. My original sketches for the cast were just a made-up female figure in the poses on the card, but again- I wanted to do a caricature. I instantly thought of Katy Perry for two reasons- 1) because she was the most famous person I know of that had a cast made by Keep A Breast and 2) well, her cupcakes. Her cupcake bra is so iconic and I thought it would be a great way to imply breasts without having to show them. Plus most people could recognize her from the caricature and possibly relate to it better. The video “California Gurls” has so many great visuals that inspired me to go with the whole Candyland theme. It was a fun cast to paint and took a lot of time!

Keep A Breast Cast #5- Star Wars “Action” (Christie Burns)

I started working on my fifth cast for Keep A Breast as part of their mantra series: Art. Education. Awareness. Action. For this cast I decided to use one of my favorite subjects to convey ACTION: Star Wars. This cast is the second from a Keep A Breast charity event. At the event Keep A Breast Traveling Education Booth was onsite with some limited cause merchandise available. This event was quite special because they did a LIVE CASTING with two of San Diego’s finest ladies, Claudia Miranda and Christie Burns. This ACTION cast is of Christie.
