We haven’t posted anything about our local watercolor wonder and moleskin *mayven*, [artist Nikira](/tag/nikira/), since early 2010\. It’s high time that change.

Nikira — real name: Irina Chtypel — illustrated, and [posted on skine.art](http://www.skineart.com/art/28220/dress-brooklyn-sheepshead-bay/?ref=bklyner.com) an arresting still life of a sexy, pink cocktail dress draped on a garment stand outside of the *haute couture* shop Lace & Satin, located at 1719 Voorhies Avenue just off Sheepshead Bay Road. The dress ‘pops’ against an otherwise monotonous backdrop.

A few words from Nikira on skine.art about her creation:

> Dress. Brooklyn, Sheepshead bay. It was striking and unexpected to see that vulnerable feminine dress on the winter street. I used ink and few Kuretake brush pens. Scanner didn’t pick up variety of blue.
