**Love, Lies & Tears — A Pop Art Drama** Love was never meant to be simple, especially when secrets, jealousy, and forbidden feelings turn everything upside down! Inspired by the iconic comic-book paintings of Roy Lichtenstein, these six pop art scenes tell a dramatic story of women caught between passion, betrayal, heartbreak, and unexpected desire. From a worried glance inside a car to a mysterious handbag spilling its secrets, an almost-kiss, a desperate phone call, and a devastating discovery, every image captures a moment when emotions become impossible to hide. Bold black outlines, delicate Ben-Day dots, classic comic-book lettering, and vintage colors bring this tangled tale of love to life — one dramatic panel at a time!
Entry in the Storytelling #04 theme.
