Stylish Women in Positions of Power

Earlier this year I managed to secure a commission from Grace Allison, a professional artist who does a lot of work related to games, including a fantastic Mario-themed illustration for the cover of the program for the Seattle Retro Gaming Expo (link). I told her that I wanted her to draw Princess Peach in contemporary clothing. When she asked me specify what sort of fashion I was inspired by, I gave her two words: Michelle Obama.

( These are two of the design sketches she's sent me! )

Although I am obviously in love with Peach myself, this is also something I want to share with two of my female friends from college who are gearing up to run for public office in different parts of the country. Girls be ambitious!
