Pencil on paper - Unique drawing - Sheet: 66 x 51 cm - Image: 50.6 x 36.8 cm // Mel Ramos’s Study for Fonda: Sketch #1 (TIME) (1970) is a pencil drawing featuring an outline of a strong, confident female figure standing in the foreground, with a motorcycle and rider in the background. The title TIME is prominently displayed at the top of the composition, with the first letter T colored in a gradient of rainbow hues, adding a pop of color to the otherwise minimalist sketch. The central figure’s pose, with one leg forward and one hand on her hip, suggests empowerment and control, a common theme in Ramos’s work as he often explores the intersection of popular culture, femininity, and objectification. The work appears unfinished, with delicate pencil lines defining the figures, allowing the viewer to focus on form and composition.

What is Comic Strip Art?
Comic strip art refers to artwork that utilizes the subject matter and commercial printing techniques found in comic strips. In the 1960s, a group of artists began creating paintings that incorporated Ben-Day dots—commonly used in comics and advertising—to produce highly graphic designs in bright colors, using traditional art media.
