Andrea Grant
This is my new routine...
Sunday afternoon into the evening I go looking around for my pinups picks for the week
Some I request as MySpace friends and some I don't
Andrea Grant I did indeed request
Right up there with the traditional pinup and the modern pinup is the Noir Femme Fatale
The pics of Andrea that I am posting show you exactly what that can mean in the modern era
These pics show the kind of girl it just might be worth your soul for ;)
Now don't get the idea that she is all pinup and curves...

She is the creator of the striking new comic book series ‘Andrea Grant’s MINX’ which merges Native American mythology with clever contemporary fantasy, exploring such themes as the duality of human nature and the thin line between dreams and reality.
She also plays the character Minx.
Ms. Grant is an accomplished artist known for a unique melding of poetry, photography, collage, 3D paintings, spoken word audio recording, video, and live performance which creates a dynamic expression that can be understood on many levels.

THE DANGEROUSLY TRUTHFUL VERSION:
I live half of it in dreams. I'll fight to the death if I believe in something.
I'm the kind of friend who will help you bury the body, but I also conserve my energy and crave solitude.
I can tell by your eyes if you are lying to me, but I probably won't bother to call you on it, I'll just vanish.
I am from a small, exotic Island off the West Coast of Canada, which means I am predisposed to the natural 'niceness' which is typical of the region, but I have also been in New York for a while, which erodes those tendencies a little.
I am a mix of opposites - reclusive vs. social, intellectual vs. bombshell, eccentric vs. emotionally stable. I'm sometimes accused of being half-crazy but I prefer to be accused of half-genius, it sounds more pleasant.
I am never boring.

Normally I'd comment about the pics themselves here and tell you why I like them
I think these speak for themselves
Enjoy
