Christian Dior Haute Couture Spring 2011

Well I'm not sure if you all have been following the Couture shows going on right now,
But a few days ago i was looking through the pictures of the amazing Christian Dior Haute Couture show,
and there was this one specific garment that I had to paint the second i saw it.
I really like how the painting turned out.
It's one of my biggest dreams to be invited to a couture show and getting to paint the collection!
That would be so insane... but until then i made this ; )
What do you think? Inhope you like it!

Yesterdays Airplane Drawing

Hello Friends!
Well, it's now catch up time.
I got home yesterday for Father's Day,
and had a great time with my Dad and my family catching up with them.
Texas was really fun and relaxing.
While i was half asleep on my extra early flight yesterday morning,
i ended up drawing this picture.
I think the original image was from an old Vogue cover.
I also did a few more drawings on the flight; one of them isn't done yet...
don't worry, i shall post it soon enough!
How are you all doing today?
i hope you are all doing wonderful ;)

I Love Covers

WOW! Don't remember the last time i was this tired. Sorry for the day delay on posts...
been exhausted & working non stop!
Well, i thought it would be fun to do a post of all my different drawings of covers.
Some were real covers, some i made up, but i wanted to just post all of them! haha
i hope your like it!

P.S. i also posted some pictures my friend and i did a few days ago.
i technic-colored all the pictures. Click over to My Image Diary to see them!

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

Done. Done. Done.

I'm DONE!
Wow, that took longer than i thought it would.
Let me first say that this is just a crappy snap shot.
i'll post it again when it's scanned, and it will look 10,000 times better, i hope.
haha But yes, i'm done!
It's Saturday! which means i can collect my thoughts, breath in, relax, and plan out this next week!
Hope you all are doing great~

The World of Mr. McQueen

In February 2006 I had an idea to create a world and characters that would represent Alexander McQueen's Designs. I looked through all his runway shows from over the years, and picked out 12 outfits for the picture. After playing around with a few sketches, I decided to build the world as a sort of 3D/2D Layered Art Piece. I used all sorts of different papers and recycled cardboard. The final dimensions of it are 46 inches long by 26 inches high and 6 inches deep. I think I still have some of the early concept sketches. If I do I'll post it up here. I hope you like it.

Fashion Art Book

Here are some Paintings out of my Fashion Art book. Oh yeah, I'm also new to this blog stuff, so some of the images are cropped and and they shouldn't be.... not sure why.
