How To Cut A Peach with Danielle Dewitt

by | Dec 4, 2009 | ART

The lines are loose and the ideas follow suit with illustrator Danielle Dewitt. Titles like Snakes & Babes, Grotesque Self, Come Give Us A Lick speak to an unabashed female sexuality and self conscious reflection in her personal work. Her subjects cover everyday events, women, herself, and peaches?

The lines are loose and the ideas follow suit with illustrator Danielle Dewitt. Titles like Snakes & Babes, Grotesque Self, Come Give Us A Lick speak to an unabashed female sexuality and self conscious reflection in her personal work. Her subjects cover everyday events, women, herself, and peaches? Okay, maybe it was one illustration of a peach but why was it so sexual? All her stuff smells of twisted sexual hangups.

She doesn’t give much information on her site but judging from her thoughts put on paper, she would be hella fun at a party. Bring on the snakes!

In 2005, I created RVA Magazine, and I'm still at the helm as its publisher. From day one, it’s been about pushing the “RVA” identity, celebrating the raw creativity and grit of this city. Along the way, we’ve hosted events, published stacks of issues, and, most importantly, connected with a hell of a lot of remarkable people who make this place what it is.
