Multi-media artist David Jablow did a series which started with mid-century “doodle pads;” notepads with unclothed women in compromising poses. Although the doodle pads were clearly meant to objectify women, Jablow takes them in some pretty surprising and empowering directions.
As delighted as I was to find David’s work, I was even more excited to discover he’s a fellow WordPress blogger! Go check out his website and on Instagram. Oh, and there’s a book, too.
Anyway, girl power!

Me, too. It makes me think that this is what R. Crumb’s work would have looked like if he’d been raised by a feminist!
