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!

Lancome - Chris & Tell by Chris Benz

Hey Friends!
How are you doing?
Wow, this week has been insane!
I've been multi-tasking like crazy!
I've also been Figure Drawing for client work,
which kinda stinks cause i don't post those kind of images on here.
You know, keeping it G Rated! haaha ;)
But i'm also doing Fashion Week work for Sundance Channel,
so be expecting some Paintings of collections coming out next week :)

Well, after I posted the Chris Benz's images, i realized that i had never posted
this painting i had done for Lancome, for the Collaboration they did with Chris Benz last season.
The two of them teamed up and created a lipstick color called "Chris & Tell by Chris Benz".
How Genius is that Name? haha
Such a clever play on words.
But i'm sorry to say to you ladies out there,
that the lipstick is sold out! Sorry about that.
It is a really cool/interesting color.
The Collection was really fun to paint.
What i'm really excited about is painting this season's!
But i think you already know that if you read the post below! haha ;)
I hope you like the picture!

OOOOOh last nugget of news...
I'm seeing one of my all time favorite bands today!
The Band is called Midlake!
They are from Texas,
and words can't describe how good they are.
If you haven't heard their music check them out!
Well, hope you all are having a wonderful day.

Some Times Love Hides Behind a Mask

Hi Friends, how are you???
Wow! I've been painting night & day lately.
I finished up a few painting today...

Ok so, since we are now in February...
I declare this "The Month of Love!!!"
So that is the theme for my posts over the next month!
You're going to have to cut me a little slack on the theme though,
I'm going to draw "Love" and things that make me think of "Love".

I saw this picture a little while back,
it just felt like it need to be painted.
My goal was to make the paining feel stuck in a moment after the kiss,
frozen there forever... haha I don't know, I hope it works... hah
Thank you all for being so amazing!
It's a blessing reading all your comments.
I'm going to try to go about and comment back to yawl.
I've just been so so so swamped with deadlines,
I hope you understand!

p.s. Who is going to the Chictopia 10 conference?! See you there :)
