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.

Hello From New York. My brother and i are currently getting settled in at the Bryant Park Hotel. I love this place, it’s a pretty wonderful place. But on a bad note… The airlines misplaced both of our bags… hahh i know, quite a week, First, we had our flight canceled cause of weather, and now they lose our bags… i sure hope they arrive, cause not sure what i’m going to do… going to Charlotte Ronson’s Show tonight… haha i hope my bags arrive.

On a different note, tomorrow i’m speaking on a panel at the Chictopia10 Social Influence Summit. I’m excited and a little nervous.. Never really done anything like this before… but it should be fun. There will be a lot of my fellow blogging buddies there. The painting above is one i did for the Chictopia10 Social Influence Summit. They made tote bags of them and will be handing them out for free at it. :) The painting is of my lovely friend Louise Ebel of the blog Pandora. She is one of my favorite bloggers so i thought she would be perfect for it! I hope you like it. If you want one Chictopia will be selling them on their site.

Thank you all for the kind comments on the McQueen Tribute Painting.
I’m hoping to leave a copy of it at the McQueen store tomorrow.

Well, my friends, Merry Christmas! I’ve got some good news for you… First, crazy enough, today was my 400th Post! haha That is so crazy… Doesn’t seem like i’ve posted that many times, but I have. :) Well, so over the last few months, i have had the honor of Collaborating with the lovely people at Lancôme! I was asked to make their Holiday cards. So, i thought i would post the Holiday cards today! There is more to come! Lancôme is a great company, and it was great working with them :) Alrighty, the last bit of news is… I will be taking a Two Week Break from Blogging. Like i said, i’ve been pretty run down, sick, and worn out. So, i decided to take two weeks off from everything, and just rest up for the New Year. So don’t worry, I will be back posting on January 6, 2010 Love you all and Merry Christmas! P.S. Thank you so much Fashionista. You’re seriously too nice. i was really touched by your kind words!

Well, my friends, I came to a sad realization today…. I think i might not have the patience to animate! Haha! It’s kinda brutal…that is a whole lot of drawing. But on the bright side, i had a wonderfully relaxing weekend. :) How about you all? You have a good weekend? I thought i would post the painting i did for ALDO shoes. The Original piece is in their corporate office and is 48in X 60in. It is very large, to say the least ;) ALDO is a wonderful company, so it was a great project to work on :) I do hope you like it! Hope you’re doing great! -d

Hi Friends! How are you doing? Sorry for the few days delay on my posting… It’s been a crazy week, i’ve been working a lot, and some exciting things are in the works ;) Yesterday, I was featured In the incredible Women’s Wear Daily! It was an extreme honor and the lovely Miss Patty Huntington wrote an amazing article. If you haven’t read it & want to, Click Here to check it out. :) Also, yesterday in the mail, my Heutchy Collaboration shoes arrived!!! Heutchy is an amazing men’s shoe line. A few months back, Heutchy asked me to collaborate on a fabric. After throwing around a few ideas, we decided that it could be interesting to make a fabric print out of a building top texture. so i ended up painting the the image above. Then is was digitally printed on leather. I really like how the fabric and the shoes turned out. :) Thank you, Lowe! The shoes are amazing! Whatcha think? I hope you like them! :)
