The amount of detail in Duport’s work is almost more disturbing than some of the details inside the works themselves. When I asked her how long some of the pieces took and what the longest she ever spent on one individual piece was, she responded by saying, “I work very instinctively and above all, always driven by obsessions, that’s why I can easily spend days drawing, without going out or seeing anyone.” That is real commitment to what you love!

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?
Would you believe after looking at her work that this artist started illustrating only a year ago with no formal training in art? With her departure from fashion after six years at WAD Magazine, Claire Duport decided to pursue one of her greatest passions, “drawing”. Through observation, contemplation and patience she has developed a very detailed and distinctive style,
currently limited to black and white. “I still feel the need of deeply exploring all the fields of density, gradient, light, shade and resonance between both tones. When I come all the way around, maybe I will get into colors,” said Duport.

beautiful work! posters for posterity!2
I like it. And it grabbed your attention esp. if you posted a comment below. whether you love it or hate I don't see anything where it promotes violence or degrading women.. what i see is government taking away the rights of a citizen n the rights away from people. Failure to follow instructions will land us in prison like the model. Now if steven photographed the same concept with average shmucks would we pay much attention to it? i dont think so. it'd be just another political journalistic photograph.3
