Chloe & Stella


This is a fairly large (11x14) illustration that is in progress, but I thought I would give you a sneak peek! I have some line work and coloring to finish up, but Chloe(left) is wearing a look from Chloe's Spring 2008 collection, and Stella(right) is wearing a look from Stella McCartney's Spring 2008 collection...what else would they be wearing?

The illustration is somewhat similar to an illustration I gave my sister for Christmas. I like that "sisters" illustration better of course for obvious reasons, but also because it makes me laugh. I drew one sister a head taller than the other, and I find it amusing that people always assume that is the *older* sister when in my case my sister is 6 years younger than me and about 4/5/maybe 6? (oh god..I'm depressed just thinking about it) inches taller than me. These girls in the above illustration look more like frenemies...but isn't that always the way it is? :) Have a wonderful rest of the week!

Inspire Me Thursday: Intimacy

inspire me thursday


i think could listen to kate nash's the nicest thing over & over for the rest of my life. every time i hear it i almost cry. this just sums up my experiences with men boys:

"i wish i was your favorite girl,i wish you thought i was the reason you are in the world.i wish i was your favorite smile, i wish the way that i dressed was your favorite kind of style. i wish you couldn't figure me out, but you always wanna know what i was about. i wish you'd hold my hand when i was upset, i wish you'd never forget the look on my face when we first met. i wish you had a favorite beauty spot that you loved secretly,'cos it was on a hidden bit that nobody else could see. basically, i wish that you loved me, i wish that you needed me,i wish that you knew when i said two sugars, actually i meant three. i wish that without me your heart would break, i wish that without me you'd be spending the rest of your nights awake. i wish that without me you couldn't eat, i wish i was the last thing on your mind before you went to sleep. all i know is that you're the nicest thing I've ever seen; i wish that we could see if we could be something"


-"the nicest thing", kate nash

Inspire Me Thursday: DNA

One of my favorite quotes is:

"Fashions fade, style is eternal." ~ Yves Saint Laurent

When I saw the prompt was DNA, I thought of this quote...I'm pretty sure style, design, fashion, & art are embedded somewhere in my DNA...so I designed a DNA print dress...so cute! (would probably never wear it though hahaha!)

Inspire Me Thursday: Silence

This weeks prompt was to find inspiration in the absence of sound. As I was brainstorming, I imagined a doll who came to life but her lips were sealed (thus unable to speak) so she searched for the key in desperation...

Illustration Friday: Polar



keeping in line with inspire me thursday's eco-art theme, i used a piece of cardboard from a mailing i received and turned it into a piece of art. the polar bears habitat is under threat, and i just want to swoop in and save them all!!! i imagine that is what the girl is doing here...riding her polar bear to safety where there is plenty of ice floating about, no hunters, and no pollution. to understand what is happening to the polar bears read this excerpt from a recent ABC news article:

"There has been a noticeable warming trend in portions of the polar bears' habitat, threatening the species with extinction by the end of this century. For instance in Canada's Hudson Bay, the ice that polar bears use to hunt seals-the mainstay of their diet-is melting two weeks earlier than it did 20 years ago, which means they have less time to hunt and store up needed fat. This is a particularly serious problem for the females because they use so much energy to nurse their cubs. Researchers report that there has been a 7 percent reduction in ice cover in just 25 years and a 40 percent loss of ice thickness. It is predicted there will be a mostly ice-free Arctic summer by 2080 if present trends continue. Other threats to the bears include pollution, poaching, and industrial disturbances. Also, hunting could become a threat if populations are not well managed." {source: ABC}
i can't imagine a world without polar bears, can you?
