Ironic. Laconic. Iconic.
Ruby Leggs is the cheekiest 21st century icon on
two legs. Too mouthy for Boston and too ambulatory for L.A., Ruby
is one hundred per cent New York. What other city would have the
balls—or, for that matter, the zeitgeist—to accommodate
a luscious pair of lips on pin-up legs?
Ruby’s adventures are as mysterious as they
are bold. Just because she’s in your face doesn’t
mean she’s short on nuance. Ruby’s chutzpah defies
the subtlety of her watercolor subtext, layering pop over elegance,
exuberance on top of finesse. Decipher these scenes for yourself.
Just as you think you’ve got Ruby pegged, a new angle catches
your eye, sending you right back to square one.
 Invite Ruby’s world into your own. You’ll
spend a long time figuring her out; and even then, you’ll never
be sure.
“Ruby is a pop icon with an attitude—and a distinctly
female point of view. Through her, I can express my views on
the dilemmas of urban survival.”
