Alexa Chung Harpers Bazaar
Hello, hello Friends, So, this weekend, I had a great discovery on youtube… “ALEXA CHUNG”!!! Haha yep! Where have I been! I stumbled on to her interview with Harry Potter, and i was laughing so hard! There aren’t many talk shows that i watch or really like all that much. Her show is amazing. So I did this painting; I Thought it would be a perfect for my Pop Culture Series, Plus she looks amazing on the Magazine Cover. I hope you like it! Whenever i do a painting of a person, i like to give it to them as a thank you. I feel like they are part owner of the picture, because the painting couldn’t exist without the person. With that said, I was wondering if you all could help me get the painting to her? I was wondering if you can help me tweet her this painting, Maybe if we can send her enough messages she might see it. :) Her twitter account name is “alexa_chung” and if you read this, Alexa, please email me and i will send you the painting :) Thank you, my friends. i hope you all are having a wonderful day! Update: Alexa twitted me! She is wonderfully amazing! thank you all :)

Vogue 1962
Hey friends, here it is. This is the 1962 Vogue Cover i drew while on the plane over here. What do you think? Is it Audrey Hepburn? My gut tells me it is, but not sure. How have you all been? It’s been fun out here. Just was walking on the beach over to Pipeline today and it began to rain on us. It’s incredible out here. Don’t think i could live out here cause i don’t think i would get any work done. haha Well, i hope you all are doing good and hope you like the cover. i can’t wait to scan it when i get home. This is just a snap shot of it. :)

The First Oxygen Cover
Wow, long day but i’m home and about to go to bed which is good! Dreamland is one of my favorite places! hah So it’s crazy, the great Refinery29 and Modelinia featured me on their sites today! Thank you to Mo and everyone for showing me that. Also thank you Refinery29 and Modelinia! :) I’m really glad you all liked the experiment! I actually started a new one trying the same process…. we shall see how it turns out tomorrow! i got a few requests to add it in my Etsy store so i ended up posting it in two sizes: 13″ X 19″ (33cm X 48cm) & 8″ X 11″ (20cm X 28cm) just click the sizes if you want to check them out. The pick today is my first magazine cover idea for oxygen magazine, but then we ended up going with a little brighter cover. but i thought this was kind a trippy drawing. i hope you like it! :)

First Magazine Cover!
My oh my, hello friends! How is your day going? Mine was great! Besides the fact that i’m home sick, I saw “My Fair Lady” for the first time today. Yet again, i fell in love with Audrey Hepburn… Seriously, what the !?! She was incredible in that movie! It’s left me sitting here thinking over that movie, replaying the scenes…. So Good! Also, I just got back the Cover i did for Oxygen Magazine! i’m excited to finally show you all it! It’s kinda uncanny how my drawing’s neckline is so similar to this picture of Audrey. haha So fun. Yes, thanks again for all the love on the Valentine post. I ended up setting up one of those Etsy Account… Finally, i have a few originals up for sale. Also, i put up some other prints. Also, i plan on getting some lower price range prints up, just been trying to figure out how to do it, but don’t worry, hopefully it will be up soon.

A Little Dazed & Confused
Well, well, well, the day starts and we are already off working. For the last two years i haven’t really bought any clothes, (which is kinda funny being a fashion artist. hah) cause i’ve been investing constantly in things of a business nature, (Art supplies, Prints, Cameras, etc.) I think i still have one more major purchase, but alas i find my clothes starting to dissolve. hah. Quite the Dilemma, huh? Well anyways, the post today is the Cover i did for the Dazed and Confused Cover Versions Contest. The contest ends today. In the past, i’ve been super anxious for competitions, hoping, wishing, and praying i win. But always, to no avail… there are so many Factors in Art Competitions that i think i will just chill, haha. Plus, i don’t really meet the requirements; i’m not under 18, but i’m hoping they’re going to forgive me being 5 years older. hahah Well, i hope you like it. Wow, I’m ramblingUpdate: My cover got selected and published in Daze and Confused cover issue.
