LITTLE BLACK DOTS



THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THIS WAS SIMPLY THAT I SAW THIS CHANEL DRESS IN VOGUE AND IT REMINDED ME OF A DOMINO, SO I DREW A GIRL WEARING THE DRESS AND HOLDING A DOMINO. SIMPLE AS THAT.

I THINK KARL LAGERFELD USUALLY DOES A PRETTY SKETCHY JOB AT CHANEL (just my personal opinion folks) SO IT'S VERY RARE THAT I TAKE A FANCY TO ANYTHING CHANEL NOW-A-DAYS. SOME OF THE OLDER PIECES PRE-KARL ARE GREAT THOUGH! I GUESS U CAN CALL ME A CHANEL PURIST.

CANNED CANDIES



I HAVE TRIED TO COLOR THIS PICTURE MANY TIMES BUT IT JUST NEVER SEEMS TO LOOK AS GOOD COLORED IN AS IT DOES IN BLACK AND WHITE. IT'S ABOUT TWO YEARS OLD, FROM A PERIOD WHEN I DREW MANY MANY PACO RABANNE PIECES. IT'S KIND'A HARD TO FIND GOOD PICTURES OF A WIDE ARRAY OF PACO RABANNE ITEMS, SO IF I SEE SOMETHING AS AWESOME AS THE TWO PIECES DEPICTED HERE I ALWAYS MAKE SURE TO RECORD THEM.

I COLLECT FASHION BOOKS AND STUDY FASHION HISTORY ENDLESSLY AND YOU'D BE SURPRISED HOW FEW GOOD PICTURES THERE ARE OF THE GREAT OLD FASHIONS. BOOKS TEND TO USE THE SAME PICTURES OVER AND OVER AGAIN. SO AS SOON AS I FIND A NEW PICTURE OF CLOTHING FROM A DESIGNER I LIKE I ALWAYS DO A QUICK SKETCH OF IT, OR BUY THE BOOK IF IT'S WORTH IT.
