Cheryl Lynn isn't quite sure who she is, but she's pretty sure of what she wants to be. A warrior woman. A bad-ass mamajama. Perhaps an earth goddess extraordinaire. She spends her days abusing keyboards and screaming at computer screens while she waits for her cult following to finally show up.

She changes her mind more often than extras in rap videos change thongs.

The Fantabuloso Torchy Brown Art Meme!

That's right, kids! I'm kicking off my first art meme here at Digital Femme. I'm calling on one and all to pick up their pens and pencils and show me their best renditions of Jackie Ormes' Torchy Brown. And who is Torchy Brown, you ask?

And here is the way the fabulous cartoonist Jackie Ormes depicted her creation:



So, how would you bring the activist and adventurer Torchy Brown to life? Visit the Ormes Society's Torchlights section to see how other artists have put their own spin on the legendary character and then join in the fun!
