Olexander Wlasenko; Lelia

Lelia takes its cue from Shadows, a film which was directed by John Cassavetes and takes place during the Beat Generation years in New York City.  The film stars Ben Carruthers and Lelia Goldini.  Lelia is shown in this drawing against the background Libby Holman poster.  Holman was an unconventional LGBT actress and singer.  An endearing character amongst the disestablishment Beats of the late fifties...
