In the past, Jillian Dickson’s colored pencil drawings blended flowers and female anatomy. With “My Undies,” the artist’s realistic, vibrant style highlights a different brand of intimate imagery. The artist says that “the reality of women’s underwear seems to be one big dirty secret.”

“The general American public is exposed to a single type of women’s underwear, the sexy and the cute,” Dickson says. “These garments are stringy, lacy, silky, and well hated by the vagina. The truth is, many women’s underwear is roomy, made of cotton, and filled with years of period stains. The ‘Underwear’ drawing series attempts to take these daily garments out of hiding and describes them as sacred in it’s golden frames and beautiful in the luscious detailing.”
