Ambivalently Yours

I've seen these drawings floating around for a few years now but could never find who did them but I've finally found them (kind of). Turns out Ambivalently Yours is an anonymous online persona created to facilitate the exploration of feminist convictions and concerns.


- I always loved the splashes of bright colour that's included in this work, bits of watercolour paint that really stand out on the pale pink backgrounds

- Also really enjoy the hand-drawn type, and the messages it delivers. I really love work that combats an issue or provokes and emotion or response in the audience. I think type usually helps with this and adds to the image rather than taking away from it

- The use of mixed media is really nice, and adds bit more character to the girls that are drawn

- The consistent pink background and the style this artist uses to draw is easily recognisable, there's a really strong sense of visual signature throughout all of their work.
