Creative Feature: A Fresh Take on Vintage Pop Art, “Monchi” by Nyanza D

“Girl with pastel green hair and lollipop” Poster from “Monchi” by Nyanza D

Brilliant pop art series, “ Monchi ,” centers retro-futurist women of color and their varied beauty — stretch marks included.

Created by London-based artist Nyanza D , the artwork is inspired by an assortment of influences: 1960s black feminists, the UK garage era, 1990s Lil Kim, fashion editorials, 1970s comics, Sailor Moon, Grace Jones, and Nyanzi’s own Nigerian/Tanzanian heritage.

Each vibrantly hued piece is hand-drawn, digitally edited and processed on card stock or silk paper. Shop the collection at etsy.com and keep up with Nyanzi via Instagram .
