A Walk on the Mild Side
FOUND by Erika in San Francisco, California (Valencia and 19th)
With that squint against the sun, she's not exactly ferocious. Judging from the back of it (squiggles of sparkly glue and fragments of other construction paper) this was probably part of a much larger piece of work, off in some kindergarten somewhere. I like how carefully the kid cut around her braids.

"...I said hey Joe, take a walk on the mild side and the colored girls go do dodoo dodoo dodoo do do...."

not so clever in responding to this sort of funk
Uh...er...um...

Would you honor your mother or aunt this way? I can see the next wave of mother's day cards. A whole series of maternal faces pasted on fierce predators...

i don't think a kid did this. those braids are definately cut out with an xacto knife.

Hey lost,

I agree, nor was that...cat...body drawn by a child. However, the swervevy outline around the whole thing looks like a young cutter's job.

Good find. I agree with lost that an adult did this. I like the face and angle it's glued on.

Actually, the big cat body looks like it could have been cut out of a "learn to draw! big cats" book.

This makes me want to go cut out random heads and bodies and mix and match them.

I "Sherlock Puckhog" am under the impression that the artist is a child who is very proud of his or her Mom.
She be the Queen of the Jungle!
Assuming that the lion part of the art is original, it appears that the artist is fairly talented. Therefore the meticulousness of how the braids are cut out is not surprising.
More importantly it's not that "heart" and "cater" crap that took up a whole day two days ago.
I like it.

My first thought: "Queen Latifah...the ultimate reincarnation!"

Or maybe somebody out of Sweet Honey in the Rock?
Sorry, gang...not a terribly inspiring Find...
