CALIFORNIA GIRL

LEFT SHARK ALERT! HERE'S MISS KATY PERRY IN HER JEREMY SCOTT 2 PIECE BEACH BALL OUTFIT FROM THE 2015 SUPER BOWL HALF TIME SHOW.  I LIKED THE SHOW AND LOVED ALL HER COSTUMES. IF I HAVE SOME FREE TIME I'LL DO HER FLAME SUIT AND SILVER STAR GOWN AS WELL.

(I WOULD HAVE HAD THIS DONE SOONER BUT MY PHOTOSHOP PROGRAM AND SCANNER BOTH BROKE DOWN AT ONCE! BUT WE GOT IT ALL BACK UP AND RUNNING NOW, SO NO NEED TO WORRY, KIDS)

SHAKE THESE BOOTIES!

I REALLY LIKE THE WACKY DESIGNS AND REFERENCES THAT JEREMY SCOTT COMES UP WITH FOR HIS ADIDAS ORIGINALS COLLECTIONS EACH SEASON. THE NEWEST COLLECTION HAS CUTE BLACK & WHITE WEDGE BOOTIES W/ HUGE LOGOS AND WINGS ON THE UPPER. I PUT PEN TO PAPER AS SOON AS I SAW PICS OF THEM ONLINE!
 BOTH OF THESE PIECES ARE UP FOR SALE AS PRINTS IN MY STORE AT: http://society6.com/hithereb

FRIES W/ THAT?

HERE IS MY ODE TO JEREMY SCOTT'S 1st COLLECTION AS HEAD DESIGNER OF  MOSCHINO FOR SPRING 2014. Mr. SCOTT PAID HOMAGE TO ALL THINGS McDONALD'S AND IT WAS GREAT! FUN FASHION SHOWS ARE ALWAYS MY FAV ONES OF THE SEASON, BECAUSE THERE ARE SO FEW OF THEM. I DREW ALMOST EVERY LOOK FROM THE FAST FOOD SECTION OF THE SHOW AND INSTAGRAM'D OUT, 1 A DAY FOR A WEEK. YOU CAN FIND MY INSTAGRAM FEED HERE - - - > CLICK!

TOUCHDOWN!!!

FOR THE MILLIONth YEAR IN A ROW, JEREMY SCOTT's SHOW FOR NYC FASHION WEEK WAS THE BEST THING ON THE RUNWAY. HIS A/W 2014 PRESENTATION WAS ALL ABOUT FOOTBALL & SPORTS. ABOVE IS MY FAVORITE LOOK FROM THE SHOW, THOUGH I'LL PROBABLY WIND UP DRAWING A FEW MORE.
 

UN-BEAR-ABLY CHIC

MOSCHINO IS MY FAVORITE FASHION BRAND (tied w/ Mugler, of course) AND THIS TEDDY BEAR DRESS FROM THEIR S/S/ 1988 COLLECTION IS ONE OF THEIR MOST ICONIC ITEMS. I'VE DRAWN THIS DRESS MANY TIMES BEFORE BUT I THINK I FINALLY GOT A VERSION I REALLY LIKE. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT NEWLY APPOINTED CREATIVE DIRECTOR JEREMY SCOTT DOES WITH THE COMPANY IN THE FUTURE. HERE'S HOPING WE GET MORE CLOTHING W/ STUFFED ANIMALS ON THEM!

BLURRED (color) LINES

I'VE BEEN SO BUSY W/ WORK LATELY I HAVEN'T HAD TIME TO DO MUCH DRAWING, BUT FASHION WEEK ALWAYS INSPIRES ME TO PUT PENCIL TO PAPER. JEREMY SCOTT IS ALWAYS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SHOWS AND THIS YEAR IS NO EXCEPTION. HE'S ONE OF THE FEW DESIGNERS THAT STILL SHOWS A FUN COLLECTION!

THIS TV TEST PATTERN PRINT DRESS WAS MY FAVORITE LOOK FROM HIS S/S 2014 COLLECTION. IT HAD MATCHING GO-GO BOOTS, SUN GLASSES & A CLUTCH. I SAW IT & DREW IT ASAP TO MAKE SURE I'VE DRAW AT LEAST 1 OF THE GOOD LOOKS FROM NYC FASHION WEEK.

ONCE AGAIN, MIZ KATY PERRY

THIS ILLUSTRATION I DID OF KATY PERRY IN HER SILVER "KATY'S KISSES" SWIM SUIT IS THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING!!! YOU CAN CURRENTLY SEE THIS PIECE OF ARTWORK FEATURED IN InSTYLE MAGAZINE MEXICO ALONG WITH AN ARTICLE ABOUT KATY'S TOUR OUTFITS. WHO KNEW DRAWING A HERSEY'S KISSES BRA COULD GET ME SO MUCH ATTENTION???

CANDY COATED

IMAGINE WAKING UP TO THIS!!! Mr. JEREMY SCOTT LOVED MY DRAWINGS OF HIS COSTUMES FOR RIHANNA'S TOUR SO MUCH HE ASKED ME TO WORK MY MAGIC ON POP DIVA DuJOUR
KATY PERRY!

I DID THE TWO PIECES SHOWN HERE (BOTH BASED ON CANDY LAND THEMES) AND SENT THEM OFF TO THE LOVELY Mr. SCOTT. WELL LOOK WHAT I GO OUTTA IT! I'M FEATURED IN InSTYLE MAGAZINE YA'LL!!! I HAVE BEEN AN InSTYLE READER SINCE I WAS A YOUNGIN', SO I AM VERY HAPPY TO BE ONE OF THE FEW FASHION ARTISTS TO BE FEATURED ON IT'S PAGES. WITH FASHION ILLUSTRATION BEING A DYING ART FORM, I FIND MYSELF GETTING MORE AND MORE WORK OPPORTUNITIES LATELY TO DO WHAT I LOVE. LET'S ALL CROSS OUR FINGERS AND HOPE IT KEEPS UP!!!

RiHANNA-ANNA-ANNA-EH-EH-EH!!!

WHEN MY BUDDY DESIGNER JEREMY SCOTT ASKED ME TO DO A FEW QUICKIE SKETCHES OF HIS DESIGNS FOR POP GODDESS RIHANNA TO BE USED IN A NEW YORK MAGAZINE ONLINE SPREAD, HOW COULD I SAY NO? AFTER ALL, RIHANNA, JEREMY'S CREATIVE DESIGNS AND THE ART OF FASHION ILLUSTRATION ARE ALL THINGS I LOVE!!! I JUMPED AT THE CHANCE AND WHIPPED THESE TWO PIECES UP IN 5 HOURS FLAT TO MEET THE DEADLINE! *whew* QUITE A TIME CRUNCH, BUT IT WAS WORTH IT. THEY TURNED OUT GREAT AND I AM BEYOND EXCITED TO BE INCLUDED IN THE PROJECT.

IT WAS REQUESTED THAT THE ILLUSTRATIONS MADE FOR THE WEBSITE HAVE A PLAIN WHITE BACKGROUND. THE VERSIONS I AM USING FOR MYSELF HAVE A POP ART INSPIRED MOTIF THAT I FOUND ON THE STREETS OF NYC AND SNAPPED A PIC OF. I THINK THE SPONTANEOUS USE OF COLOR AND SHAPES IN THE SWATCH REALLY BRING OUT THE FESTIVE MOOD OF RIHANNA'S CONCERT TOUR.

I AM REALLY PROUD OF THE WORK I DID AND MEGA-GRATEFUL THAT Mr. SCOTT ASKED ME TO PARTICIPATE.

SNEAKER PIMP

IT'S ABOUT TIME SOMEONE BROUGHT THE FUN BACK TO FOOTWEAR! WITH EVERY NEW COLLECTION JEREMY SCOTT DOES FOR ADIDAS THE SHOE DESIGNS GET MORE AND MORE OUTRAGEOUS. THE MICKEY MOUSE HIGH-TOPS ARE CARTOON WIMSEY AT IT'S BEST AND THE 3-TONGUED TRAINERS ARE A STROKE OF CREATIVE GENIUS. THE METALLIC GOLD WINGED SNEAKS ALONE ARE NOW AN ICON OF MODERN SPORTSWEAR FASHION.

I'VE DRAWN SIX OF Mr. SCOTT'S SHOE DESIGNS HERE AS JUST A SMALL DISPLAY OF HIS DESIGN BRILLIANCE. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT WEIRD AND WONDERFUL SHOE-THINGIE HE COMES UP WITH NEXT!!!

BAD TO THE BONE!!!

NO ONE DOES KOOKIE GLAM LIKE DESIGNER JEREMY SCOTT. WITH EACH NEW COLLECTION COMES A GREAT NEW BATCH OF FUN IDEAS AND DIFFERENT TAKES ON FAMILIAR SUBJECTS. HIS ABILITY TO TWIST SOMETHING WE ALL RECOGNIZE TO SUIT HIS OWN POINT OF VIEW IS WHAT I LOVE MOST ABOUT HIS DESIGNS. CASE IN POINT, HIS S/S 2010 'FLINTSTONES' COLLECTION. IT WAS A KITSCHY TAKE ON THE FAMOUS HANNA-BARBERA CAVE-MAN FAMILY MIXED WITH THE PIN-UP GIRLS OF YEARS GONE BY. TWO THINGS FROM THE PAST MIXED TOGETHER TO MAKE SOMETHING FRESH FOR TODAY! HE ALWAYS LEAVES ME WANTING TO SEE WHAT HE'LL COME UP WITH NEXT!

SO, DO YOU LIKE HIS HOT PINK ZEBRA SKIN SWIMSUIT? BECAUSE YOU KNOW I YABBA-DABBA-DO! (Ugh, i know, what a bad joke, but i had to go there!)
