Since the baseball playoffs are on, it's easy to find inspiration for my drawings from bases, bats and balls. Today, I found a black and white photograph of Marilyn Monroe playing ball, which I used as a pose source for this image. There is definitely a baseball connection, she had been briefly married to Joe DiMaggio.
The photo I used as a reference for today's JSVB entry came from an Internet baseball fan site, but I wish I knew the true photo source so I could give proper credit. Apparently, DiMaggio first became enamoured of Monroe after he saw a picture of her posing with a bat and a couple of players. If that's the same photo, I can understand how he must have felt.
