From Russia With Love

Hello Friends! How is your weekend going?
Mine has been super relaxing!
i'm hoping to have a good long afternoon of hanging out drawing today.
Posted non stop yesterday on the Dream Walking Society.
Oh and the Speed Painting Video went over 10,000 views!
Thank you so much! So awesome! First of my videos to do that. So amazing, thank you.
The painting today is from an editorial i started, but ended up not finishing.
I thought you might like it.
It has some funky layering, and the setting is St. Basil's Cathedral in Russia!
i hope you like it!

Olive des Olive

Hey friends,
Well, it was a late night last night.
Went to Nike's screening of Bjork's tour DVD in LA last night.
It was really fun. Bjork is incredible. What she can do live never ceases to amazing me.
But needless to say, i'm pretty tired from last night.
Need to refill my coffee cup and get rolling on some projects...

The painting today is an old water color, spray paint, and pen picture i did back in the day.
I think i did this in my fashion illustration 2 class. haha
I just stumbled on to it and thought it would be fun to post.
It's always funny seeing my old work. haha :)
Well, i hope you all are doing greeeeeaaaat!

The Girls Of the Lookbook

GOOOD MORRRnning to all!
I'm currently finishing up my second coffee this morning and excited about today!
So, first off just want to apologize for the lack of new drawings.
I've been swamped on projects trying to finish up Miss Sophie Wards and my kid's book.
Getting very excited, going to work all today on it,
but anyways, i've been feeling guilty about not posting any new drawings,
so i ended up starting a picture at 11 last night and working till 2 for you all...
but you know me, i couldn't just do a straight forward picture....
so i tried this crazy crazy experimental technique that i made up in my head a few days ago...
and well the picture turned out super crazy and weird...
I wasn't sure about posting it. haha
so i decided to post a close up of this Lookbook drawing i did for the Academy of Art for New York Fashion Week.
it's actually one of my favorites from the Lookbook,
which on a side note was like 2 years ago!
What the !? It seems like just yesterday!
Oh my, how these drawing just roll by!
Have a wonderful day! :)

My Long Lost Picture...

Well... i start this painting/illustration like 4-5 months ago. but than i started the book and haven't been able to work on it.
she is my long lost picture. the girl in the pictures name is Josette, she is from this book series i've been dying to write. it will consist of about eight books. but yea i thought i would introduce you all to my little josette. Oh yea i designed the dress based of old persian patterns and architecture.

The Academy of Art LookBook

In June 2007 Simon Ungless, Director of Graduate Fashion at the Academy of Art, asked me to illustrate the School of Fashion's Lookbook for New York Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. I jumped with excitement at the offer. I worked night and day through the month of July producing one drawing a day for it. So yeah, this is my first Lookbook I've ever done. Hope yawl enjoy it.
