Hi, friends! How are you today?
I'm super busy with some client work

I am using this crazy process that I just
came up with for the project and I am really
excited for how things are turning out so far : )
This drawing is of my friend Miss Sophie Ward and was for my Character Sketchbook. I really like the simplicity of it and feel like it captures Sophie. I hope you like it!

Kaja Sokola - Character Sketch Book 212


Artist Danny Roberts Black and white painting portrait of Polish Model poland Kaja Sokola number 212 in igorandandre character sketch book

Hi Friends!
Well the week is almost to a close! (finally)
I'm so exhausted, been a few late ones over the last few weeks.
I've been editing a video, thought i would have it ready for you today,
but it looks like it's going to be up on Sunday!
I hope you like it. :)
The Mixed media painting today is from my Character Sketch Book.
It's of a Polish model who i really think has an interesting look...
her name is Kaja Sokola.
I drew Kaja awhile back, it was just a Scribble Sketch.
So i wanted to do a more polished picture this time around.
It was hard to find many images of her, but i really liked this one.
I'm looking forward to seeing more shoots with her.
I hope you like the painting :)
and hope you're having a great day!

The Dress that Came Alive








So i finally made a video for the Collaboration i did with Caravan this last Fashion Week.
I've been wanting to make this video for months now...
The concept was to show the process form concept to being made.
The Song is by a musician i just heard for the first time two weeks ago named Peter Broderick.
His music is pretty amazing, and was a prefect fit for the vibe I wanted for the video.
The Girls in the video are the lovely Kylie Bisutti & Chiara.
I had a lot of fun designing the dresses and really like how they turned out.
Thank you Claudine for letting me be involved :)
I hope you all like it and hope you have a wonderful new years eve! ;)

Gesture Study of the Day

Fashion Artist Danny Roberts Gesture Study sketch of Model Frida Gustavsson for Igor and andre


Good morning!
So i definitely messed up big time last night and set my alarm to 1:30 a.m. on accident...
which is bad, i know, but what was worst, an hour later after i went back to bed, I woke up wide awake!
haha yikes~ seriously, so bad, so i just got up and started working...
Somehow i have a feeling i'm going to pass out midday today! haha
But anyway, had an great weekend, my sister & my brother-in-law had a Christmas party on Saturday.
It was awesome seeing them.
Also yesterday, saw Tron with my family!
Movie was great, and Daft Punk & the Art Direction was perfect!

So i've been trying to get better at drawing and painting different gestures and expressions.
The Sketch today was a little study sketch i did this last week.
I really like how it turned out.
It's definitely a rougher sketch but i really like how expressive she is.
I hope you like it too :)
Any of you traveling anywhere for Christmas?

P.S. Just to update you on the print orders. First off, thank you all so much for your support, it's been amazing. My mom has been helping process all the orders and get everything shipped, and so far we have been able to get your prints out the day you ordered them. So, if you're still thinking of getting Christmas prints, the sooner the better. They are all up at http://www.etsy.com/shop/DannyRoberts.

My Collaboration With W Hotels for Fashion's Night Out

Igor and andre Fashion Artist Danny Roberts Fashion Week and Fashion Night Out Limited edition Signature Guy and Girl Tote Bags Collaboration with Starwood Hotels W Hotel

Hey Friends!
So I'm excited to announce my Collaboration with the W Hotels for Fashion's Night Out!
A little bit ago, I was asked to design Limited Edition totes for the W Hotels.
Since it's Spring Fashion Week, I wanted the art to feel like spring.
So my theme was "It's Spring~Love is in the Air"
Then I had a concept of "Couple Bags".
Basically, I designed the guy's bag in the vain of the girl's bag,
so the bags would look like a matching set,
if that makes sense?

Also, the W is going to have a Fashion Night Out event that i'm a part of!
It's on Sept. 10 at the W in Times Square from 5 to 8pm.
If you want more info there is info up Here.
Well my friends, i hope you like it! :)

The Girl In the Darkness

Igor and andre Fashion Artist Danny Roberts painting of a girl with blue eyes laying on her back with arms over her head


Good day!
How are you doing?
Today has been wonderfully relaxing.
I sat and painted all day.
It been a cold coffee day for the last two days (which is my favorite kind!)
Which on a side note, this has been one crazy summer!
I can't remember a summer being this cold.
I love it! I know it sounds weird, but i love cool weather. :)

The Painting today is kinda different, huh?
It's a little bit on the darker/creepy-ish or maybe not creepy but Mysterious side.
But i really like how it turned out.
It's a crazy mixture of Pen, Color Pencil, Water Color, Ink, CRAYONS!!!
hahaha I love Crayons and i haven't colored with them in so long!
Well, i hope you like it :)

6th Character Sketch - Remember When Saturday


Artist Danny Roberts 6th drawing ever of fashion model gemma ward in volume 1 of his character sketchbook


OOOOOh ok so,
I ♥ Saturday's!
hahah How's your day going?
Been having a relaxing day with my family.
I had an idea today for a posting series I'm going to start...
Since i've only been able to draw for about 3-4 years,
I thought i would start a weekly post called "Remember When".
It's going to consist of drawings that i did back when i was starting to learn how to draw.
Thought it could be a cool/fun way to encourage you all that if you like something and want to learn something,
With some hard work, you can do anything. :)

The drawing today was my 6th drawing ever of Gemma Ward that i did 4 years ago.
It's from Volume 1 of my Character Sketchbook.
If you don't know about my Character Sketchbook i have some info on it here. ;)
I hope you like it.
Hope you're having a wonderful Saturday!

On a different note, tomorrow i'm speaking on a panel at the Chictopia10 Social Influence Summit.
I'm excited and a little nervous.. Never really done anything like this before...
but it should be fun. There will be a lot of my fellow blogging buddies there.
The painting above is one i did for the Chictopia10 Social Influence Summit.
They made tote bags of them and will be handing them out for free at it. :)

Coco-Pumpkin Pie




A portrait of Danny Roberts holding a pumpkin he painted of Model Coco Rocha


Hahaha I did it!! Well, kind of.... haha
So I tried, key word TRIED, to carve a pumpkin today...
Yes, it was kind of a major failure...
Don't get me wrong, i had a blast attempting to cut that thing to pieces.
By the time i was done, the pumpkin was falling apart!
So, i regrouped and thought I would paint the back-up pumpkin.
And who better to paint than the pumpkin haired model Coco Rocha!
So, a few hours later, this was the by product.
Ok, so i know it's kinda trippy looking, but it was my first time painting on something spherical.
I hope you like it! Oh, also going to Gen Art's Fresh Faces in Fashion show tomorrow night.
Pretty excited to see the new designers.
Also, what do you think of the new site?
Well, it's kinda a new site. Spent the day working on cleaning the look of the blog up. :)
Well, my friends, i hope you like the pumpkin and Happy Early Halloween.

Wow, wait a sec!
I almost forgot to mention something...
Where are my manners?
I heard from Alexa Chung!!!!!
I got a message from her today, saying thank you for the painting.
Thank you, thank you friends for your help; really means alot!!!
And Alexa, if you're reading this, thank you so much, definitely made my day!
And if you want the painting, i would be happy to send it to you! ;)

Danny Roberts Painting of the Gerlan Jeans Fashion Show


Hello, Hello, Hello, My Friends,
Happy Wednesday!~
We did it! We made it half way through the week!
So how's it going?
So far the week of relaxing has been so so nice and very much needed :)
Well, today is my first drawing post.
I did the drawing last week, and since my brother, Dave,
shared the NYC adventure, i asked him if he would guess write for our first show.
So, it's my pleasure to introduce you to my brother's writing! :)

"Gerlan Jeans - Waiting outside the the Audi Forum, my brother and I had a pleasant surprise. A flash of red hair caught my eye,
and I quickly realized that it was Julia Frakes of Bunny Bisou! There, chatting with her,
was none other than Suzie Bubble of Style Bubble! Danny approached them cautiously,
as he had done portraits of both of them, conversed with them online,
but had never met either of them in person. After conveying his identity to them, hugs were exchanged.
Once through the doors, we checked in and tracked down our seats.

The collection delivered an urban overtone utilizing grey and white prints of broken brick walls,
pink and white prints of clenched fists, and pot leaves. These made their way on to various garments
ranging from overalls, to swimwear, to hoodies, and even underwear.
All in all, it was a fun event and we were so glad to have met Suzi and Julia!"

P.S. Our family cat Milo has a hurt foot, and there is a little girl who lives
in the house next to us who is in love with Milo. So, today she came over and gave Milo a "Get Well" Card she made him.
It is pretty much the most amazing thing ever! So i posted it on my image diary click here to see it :)
