Attack of the Crazy Models

Hey Friends, how is the weekend going for you?
Anything exciting?
My weekend has been super laided back and chill (which is the way i like it!)
Watched one of my favorite movies, Hook!
It's been so long! i love that movie! "Rufio Rufio Ruuuufiiiiiioooo!"

The drawing today is Number 172 out Volume 2 of my Character Sketchbook.
If you are new to the site and don't know what the Character Sketchbook is, Click Here to read up on it...
it's one of my all time favorite projects.
And if you do know about it...
I have a question for you.
How many of you would be interested in getting the Character Sketchbook if i find a publisher?
I thought it would be cool project to publish because i think it shows anyone can learn how to draw,
it just takes hard work and practice. ;)

Oh, on another note, i had a really funny dream last night involving a supermodel and an adventure on a resort island! haah i might have to post it ;) haha

Well, i hope you like the drawing. It's kinda fun/crazy ;)

Miss Tavi on Pop

Hello, my Friends,
How are you doing?
You having a good weekend?
Mine has been great! i love the weekends, they are so wonderful!
I'm really excited about this week.
My really good friend Mr. Ryan Baxley & I are going to meet up later this week,
and start planning out The Fawn Album.
The Fawn is a collaboration music Group Ryan & I started like 4 years ago.
As time went by, i think i have like 200 song starts on my computer,
so we decided to finally finish an album.
So i'm pretty excited.

The drawing today is of Miss Tavi on the cover of Pop Magazine!
How awesome is it that she was on the cover!
But since I love drawing covers, I thought this was a perfect cover to draw.
i hope you like it :)

... Now, i think I'm going to challenge my brother to a round of Mario Cart!

A Splash of Color

Happy Sunday!
So, spent all of yesterday moving my friends Ryan & Alice Baxley in their first house since they have been married.
It was a long day, but it was a pleasure to do it.
But needless to say, my body is sore head to toe.

Just did this drawing today.
Turned out kinda crazy.
The picture was crazy & colorful, so i thought it would be a perfect picture to experiment.
The drawing is pencil, color pencil, ink, acrylic and pen.
i hope you like it and hope your having a wonderful day!
:)

Christian Lacroix Couture Inspired

Good Morning, Good Afternoon, and Goodnight.
Well, today is my last day home.
Flying out to Texas bright and early tomorrow morning,
so I'm trying to tie up some loose ends today.

This painting i did over the last 2 days.
It's inspired by Christian Lacroix's Spring 2009 Couture Collection.
I took the design of the finale dress and made some slight changes.
I think Christian Lacroix is incredible;
so colorful and fun.
I really hope you like the painting!
Have a great day, friends! :)

Also, I posted some pictures of me wearing the Girls In Glasses T-Shirt
from Borders & Frontiers. I hope you like them.

Garance Doré

Happy Tuesday!
Wow, today was fun!
i went down to Laguna Beach to the galleries with my mom and had some sushi,
and then definitely got to see Dr. Seuss stuff in one of the galleries!
It was so stinking incredible!

Well, the blogger portrait today is of one of my all time favorite street style blogs.
Her photography and illustration is lovely;
it's such a timeless site.
I'm sure you all know who she is...
Her name is Garance Doré.
Please check her site out; you won't be disappointed!
How are you all doing?
Hope you like the drawing!

The Character Sketchbook 159

Wow! Thank you everyone for your amazing comments; really means alot.
It definitely was a long day for me, so that was perfect encouragement throughout the day.
I thought i would post one of my favorite pages from my Character Sketchbook Series.
For some reason this was one of the hardest pictures for me to draw.
But i think that is what makes it my favorite!
It's fun how that works, huh?
I have a big day tomorrow, shipping out all these print orders,
so don't worry for you that ordered, they're all going out tomorrow! :)
i have to say, the new prints look really cool. i was so excited when i saw them.

The Life Of My Studio

Hello my friends!
Thanks so much for all your Blog Birthday wishes; means alot!
Sorry for the lack of a post last night...
I randomly got the idea to post a video last night, at like 10:30,
and for some reason, i thought it would just take a minute to throw it together....
so needless to say, at 1 in the morning, i realized
i would probably not be up by the time the video stop rendering. hahah
Thus i am posting today.

Ok, i must warn you, it is quiet random...
I made the Video out of Random Clicks of my Studio.
So it's like close ups on paintings and me drawing, and my friends hanging out.
Oh, and also, i have the filming of the concept sketch with Miss Sophie Ward sitting posing for the painting. :)
Well, i hope you enjoy it!
Have a great day!
:)

Anna Selezneva

YAY!
Did experiment Painting Number 2,
and tried to duplicate the process twice.
Just finished it!
I really like how it turned out.
Kinda trippy looking, huh?

A Lot of Bloggers

Ok, so i was talking with my friend on ichat,
and looking through files on my computer
when i realized how many blogger portraits there are now.
i kinda lost track and now i think there are like 24?
So crazy! Wow, so many great blogs out there.
Thanks to all of you readers and bloggers for making such a great community.

So i L-O-V-E-D Roman Holiday.
Think i'm going to see it again.
i think it just tied for first with Funny Face,
but the more i think about it, maybe solid number one.
i think part of it is because i daydream all day about traveling and going on adventures with princesses,
which is basically the movie, but yes, it was wonderful.
Thanks for suggesting it!

Oh, so for the post today, i thought it would be fun to do a post with all of the
portraits side by side straight down... hope you like!
