Christian Dior Haute Couture Spring 2011 - Version 2.0

Good Morning Friends!
Sorry for the 5-6 day absence. I decided since I passed up my 600th blog post a few weeks ago, that I should give Igor+André a facelift. So that's what I've been doing over the last few weeks, and yikes, it was a learning experience. I didn't know much about web design/coding in blogspot format so I had a crash course in it. So what do you think of the new look? I really like how it turned out. I'm not sure about you, but looking through the site and the different categories is like rediscovering the content. For some reason I feel like the scroll through experience is light years better now. But I would love to hear your thoughts :)

I thought I would post the original Color version of my Christian Dior Haute Couture Spring 2011 painting. I posted a Black & White Version of the picture a few weeks ago, but i really like the color version too, so voila! Here it is. ;) I hope you like it, and hope you're having an amazing day!

Miette's First Visit to the Other Side

Hey Friends,
How's the week going for you?
This week has been crazy...
Been trying to finish up a bunch of projects before i leave tomorrow night at midnight for Texas.
My good Friend Stacy Dupree of the band Eisley is getting married to another friend Darren King of the band Mutemath.
I'm really excited, they are both wonderful people, also really excited to see all my friends in Texas, too. :)

So the Painting today...
The painting is of a Character named Miette from a story book series i've been wanting to write.
I have been having a lot of fun painting Little Kids lately.
I really like how the painting turned out.
She turned out exactly the way i had pictured her.
I really hope you like it :)

The Girl In the Darkness

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 :)

The Bright World Of Ali Michael

Hello friends!
Sorry i didn't get this post up last night...
Basically I was the only one awake in the house,
& i was drifting off to sleep as the image was uploading...
So i thought it best not to post because,
The Writings of a 3/4 of the away asleep Dyslexic Boy are not a pretty sight! haha

Oh so, Thank you all so so so much for the Blog Birthday Wishes! It really means alot!
I'm really excited for what the next year will bring.
I Actually started to plan out ideas for the blog content, a day or so ago...
Are there any Series you would like to see more of? Storybook series? Blogger Series? The Series on Love? The Model Series? (which i got some new things planned)

Well the post today is of The Lovely Miss Ali Michael!
She is such a fun model, Plus she is a Texan!
Ali has such a beautifully calm demeanor & Presence.
So I guess she has a tumblr account!
The painting today is of a self portrait off her blog!
Well ... i think it was a self portrait.
But when i saw it, i had to paint it!
It's so intriguing, huh?
Well, i hope you like it. ;)
Do check out her blog, it's Alimichael.tumblr.com

The Queen of Parnassus

Hey Friends!
How are you?
Well, i know i have already posted this picture,
but was going through my etsy store and making sure all the items were up,
when i saw this piece.
i almost forgot about it.
i really like how it turned out.
Also, since i still can't get "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" out of my head,
i thought posting a Lily Cole image would be fitting.
I'm resting up my friends.
Haven't drawn in 3 weeks, which is the longest period i've gone without drawing in 3 or 4 years!
So crazy... just been super tired,
but i hope you all have a magical day!

My Girl Wears Chanel

Well, my friends, it's finally here!
This is the painting i mentioned a few weeks back that I did for Sundance Chanel's Full Frontal Fashion
for their Paris Fashion Week Coverage.
The painting is of Chanel's Spring 2010 Collection
and this painting is my current computer wallpaper! haha
I just really like how strong & innocent she came out.
I really hope you like it, too,
I hope it helps your week start off on the right track! :)

Also Ashley Simko from Sundance channel Wrote an amazing article about my work.

I Heart Tanya Dziahileva :)

Well, Happy Friday!
Gen Art was amazing!
I had so much fun!
It was in an automotive museum.
I've never been much for cars, but this place was a treasure!
I mean i saw the Mock 5!! Yep, i said it, I SAW THE MOCK 5.
Also, it was really great seeing the start of new designers' careers.
I'm going to try to post some pictures up really soon! :)

So, not sure how many people know who Tanya Dziahileva is,
but she basically has my all time favorite eyes!
She is so amazing looking.
While my brother and I were sitting in Bryant Park during NYFW,
Tanya came and sat at a bench across from us.
I wanted to ask her if i could sit and draw her, but i was too timid.. haha
Oh well, it would have been incredible, she seemed really nice.

I'm going to have to get ready for a Halloween party tonight...
Looks like i'm going to be "Tom Ripley" from the movie "The Talented Mr. Ripley"... haha
I hope you all are having a wonderful day!

The Profile of Miss Johannesson

Hello, Hello, my friends!
How are you?
Well, today has been a long, but good day;
been drawing and painting all day.
Did this painting of one of my favorite models Mona Johannesson.
I've been eyeing this picture of her for a while now.
I love this photo shoot, it's wonderful,
so i ended up painting it today.
Kinda reminds me of Audrey Hepburn a little.
Well, i hope you like it! :)

Please forgive my absence.
Last week i had to go into work all week
and so needless to say, i'm way behind and trying to catch up.
With that said, i've been meaning to draw a new picture for you all

The Girl Experiment

Well, ok so you all requested it....
this was my late night drawing experiment.
It was a super funking and weird technique to get where i got.
It would to hard to explain,
but i don't know, i think it was an interesting idea i want to explore in the near future...
It's definitely different, huh?
Well, for me, i guess.
I finished up 14.5 pages out of 26 in the kid's book, so almost there.
Leaving for Hawaii in less than a week!
Wooot, woot! i hope you're doing wonderful!

Edit:
As Requested i added this Picture to my Etsy Store

Oh, thank you all for the nice comments!
i'm really glad you like the prints. :)
It really means alot!

to get my brain firing on all cylinders.
So the painting today i tried something a little different.

i hope you like it! :)

The Red Hair Queen

Wow, i can't believe this week is over!

Well, i'm getting geared up right now for a long day of drawing.
The picture i'm posting today is of Lily Cole looking very Queen esk.

The Blue Eyed Girl

Hello, my friends!
Whatcha been up to?
Wow, thanks for all the lovely comments on the drawing of Lisa. :)
The drawing i'm posting today is one i did for a client,
but it wasn't exactly the art direction they were looking for, so i get to share it with you all.
i hope you like it. It was a blend of water color, ink, color pencil, and pen.
Are you getting excited for Fashion Week coming up?
Anyone going?
Well, i'm definitely excited to see what's coming out. :)

Taylor Swift

Hey friends, how are you all doing?
It's late and i think i'm getting sick...
been working so much lately. i think it should slow down soon.
i doodled this up tonight.
Sophie said i should do a series of famous people....
Somehow the conversation got onto Taylor Swift today.
Anyways, i thought she would be a good starting point in that series.
i had a lot of fun drawing her.
Now i just need to figure out how to get the drawing to her.... :)
hm... any suggestions? hahaha
i hope you are having a great day.
i found an old story today that i wrote in 3rd grade;
