Magazine Cover
Sofia Coppola & French Vogue
What happens when Sofia Coppola and French Vogue come together? Magic! Just got finished with this drawing… Wow, today was really long, wasn’t sure if i was going to get to draw today, but at 9 o’clock tonight, i saw this picture and decided i had to draw it right that instant. It’s just was too beautiful. Plus, as most of you know, it’s my life goal to illustrate a Cover of Vogue. So, i just keep praticing it! haha i love everything about it, so Voila! painted it for yawl. I really like how it turned out. I hope you like it. :) EDIT: Thank You Noami & Teen Vogue for the Post you are wonderful! :) Also, for all you who Ordered Prints I shipped out everything yesterday, so they’re on the way.

Video
The Alexander McQueen Display
Well, i think I’m officially done with youtube! I edited this Video yesterday for you all, and was having tons of trouble uploading it, then finally this morning when i got the Video up on there, what happens? Youtube had disabled the audio to my video cause it said the audio violates the copyright of i think it was Universal Music Group… Which is kind of ridiculous considering i paid them money by buying the song, and it’s not like i’m selling the video… So, huh? Now, i can’t make videos unless i write all the music? Whatever… Sorry for the mini-rant, but i was pretty disappointed this morning. So solution! Vimeo!! They are better in every regard so i will be uploading everything to them for now on. The Video i made by mapping camera movements of still pictures i took of my McQueen Display. Basically, i love all of Alexander McQueen’s Collections cause they’re straight out of a storybook. So with that said, i decided to create a world for McQueen’s People. This Layered Display is what i came up with. I call it “The Under Ground Forest” All the clothes in the Display are from McQueen Collections. I hope you like it. Wish you all could see it in real life. :) It’s definitely the piece i personally enjoy the most.
Portrait
Brandi Cyrus & Taylor Swift
Wow, so so so glad it’s the weekend! The last two weeks have bled into one, leaving me one tired boy! But alas, it’s the weekend! woot woot woot! How is it going for yawl? Ok so i wasn’t sure how to categorize todays portrait… Wasn’t sure if it was going to be in the Blogger Portrait Series or Pop Culture Series… then i realized, it’s technically both, so i’m putting them in both. Today i was talking with my really good friend Mr. Tim Brooks, who is in the greatest most fun group alive called LUVBEAT, and i clicked over to their Myspace Music Page to listen to their Miley Cyrus cover song they did with their neighbor, Sam. Well, anyways, somehow i stumbled on to Brandi Cyrus’s Blog, and i had fun looking through it and reading her post. Then i came a across this picture of her and Taylor Swift on the blog so i thought it would be fun to do a double blogger portrait of them, cause Taylor keeps an interesting Blog on Myspace. I really like how the picture turned out. It was the first drawing i’ve done in so long on actually art paper. It felt good! hah. Well, i hope you all like it. OH also congrats to Lulu of the Blog Lulu and your Mom for getting your styling in Nylon Magazine. Also, Congrats Tavi for having your INCREDIBLE shirt featured in Vogue France!! So amazing! :)
Portrait
Karlas Closet
Not quite sure how i am yawning at 9:30 at night, but i am… haa. Today was a long one. Finished a painting, started and finished another one, and also organized and packaged prints to get them ready to ship. It was long but great! Well, the new Blogger Portrait is of Karla of the blog Karlas closet. i have been following her blog for a while; it is a great style blog, but last week i stumbled on to a picture of her that i had to draw. All the lines and color and sunglasses, it just looked fun to draw. i hope you all like it! :)
Models
Sophie Ward is Officially Back!
It is my Biggest Pleasure to announce my good friend Sophie Ward is Officially Back Modeling! A few months back, Soph told me that she thought she was going to start modeling and writing full time. How amazing of an idea is that? Think about her writing Fashion Coverage from the perspective of being in the show; so fun! i’m really excited! Last night, i clicked over to Miss Frockwriter‘s blog. and saw this picture of Sophie backstage in her first show of 2009, and so i thought i would post and let you all know! If you don’t know Sophie yet, please get to know her. She is the biggest ray of sunshine. For example, read this amazing post she wrote when she was out visiting me! Click here to Read it. Go to her blog at papercastlepress.

Return of the Mcqueen
Happy Tuesday Folks! Wow, i’m tired! Spent the last 6 hours rendering a hounds tooth dress… needless to say, my eyes are numb and hands tired! But on another note, took a new set of pictures of my Alexander McQueen layered art piece. The only thing is, i’m not done going through the images yet, so i will post the rest of them tomorrow, ok? The image above is just one close up of it. i have to say, it might be my all time favorite thing i have made. i think it’s cause it’s the one that has taken me the longest to make. i think it was something like 5 weeks to make, but yes, i will post more tomorrow! Hope you all are doing wonderful :)
Volume 2
Lily Cole Backstage 131
All the people who have a bad case of the Mondays, raise your hand… For those who can’t see me, i’m raising my hand… hahah Well, at least it’s down and out of the way. i think this week is going to be a long, brutal one, which, on a good note, means i should have some good dreams this week. If i have any good dreams, i will type them up and post it for yawl. The drawing today is from my Lily Cole Back Stage at, I believe, a Dior show, but I can’t remember. i like the raw rush of the scene. i hope you all like it! :)
