One Year Later Tribute to Alexander McQueen - Inspiration Friday

Well, today is a very special edition of Inspiration Friday,
as this is the one year anniversary of the death of Lee Alexander McQueen.
I thought I would put together a special tribute to him for all of the times that he has inspired me.
I've never been so consistently in aw and inspired by any other designer.
He was able to create a world that was both beautiful and terrifying, but it was so clearly a world outside of ours.
I don't think I will ever cease to be inspired by all the wonderful things that he made.
I hope this set of images inspires you today! :)
I add a song i wrote that i felt like fit the mood of his collections.


p.s. My friend Chadwick Tyler chose his top picks for this season for the site fashion copious is a great article check it out here :)

Reliving Again & Again - Inspiration Friday

(Images by Lina scheynius, Sarah Moon, and the first one is of sient film actress Lillian Gish.)

Happy Inspiration Friday!
I'm just getting rolling for today and so far so good.
Currently brewing some more coffee, and trying to get warm, and get on doing some writing.
Today's Inspiration Friday theme kind of has a Groundhog Day theme to it.
The Concept was "An old memory that you want to relive over and over again."
I really like how the set of images turned out. All of the pictures have a really warm and pleasant feel. ;)
Well, I hope you are having a great day! :)

A Dream That I Call Home - Inspiration Friday

Well My Friends it's Friday!~
YAY! I'm really happy that it is.
This has been a long week!
For example, I definitely fell asleep at my computer while proof reading last night!
My brother was kind enough to proof it, and click post for me, then wake me up! hahah
Yea, needless to say, I'm ready for some sleep this weekend.

So today's Inspiration Friday was inspired by the mix I'm currently listing to...
The playlist is posted up on "Inside My Brain" so you can listen along ;)
But really like how it turned out!
It has a warm intimate feel to it.
It kind of reminds me of the dreams you have that you're really disappointed you had to wake up,
and you wish they could go on forever...
You know what I'm talking about, right???

The Images are from a variety of places... Snorpy, Joe Sorren (my favorite living painter), Vincent Van Gogh, Life Magazine (1950), And the last photo on the bottom right, I took during this last Fashion Week at the Siki Im Fashion Presentation.

P.S. The image of Kate Moss was when she was 14 and it was her first photo shoot, i think... What the heck! She looked like a star from day 1 ;)

P.S.S. I'm working on a story book painting for yawl, i think you will like it! :)

The Land Of the Runaways - Inspiration Friday

Happy Inspiration Friday!
Welcome my Friends to the Land of the Runaways!
So a few years ago i kept having these dreams that all took place in the Forest of the Runaways.
haha no joke, it only existed in my dreamworld,
and the Runaway Forest was full of rag tag kids that either didn't have a family
or had runaway from home and now lived in this Kids town they built in the forest.
In my dream i would always come visit them, and lead them on random adventures.
So today's set of images are inspired by the Runaway's Forest.
It's kinda uncanny how much the images look like that world!
so Fun! I'm hopping to start writing short stories from my dream world. ;)

The collection of images are from Shorpy, Lula Magazine, and from my friends Knightcat & Alice.

P.S. I Added Buttons to the right to "Inside My Brain" & "The Dream Walking Society" :)
