I HEART NYC (fashion week!!!)

I'M TRYING TO BE A GOOD BOY THIS F/W 2011 FASHION SEASON AND SEE EVERY FASHION SHOW AS THEY ARE POSTED, EITHER ON STYLE.COM OR MY NEW FAV FASHION-SHOW SITE NOWFASHION.COM. THAT SAID, I HAVEN'T EVEN PEEKED AT THE LONDON SHOWS YET! UGH!

(for those who don't know, the major shows start in NYC, then London, then Milan and finally end in Paris)

PICTURED ABOVE ARE JUST SOME OF MY FAV LOOKS FROM THE NYC SHOWS. I HAD OTHER LOOKS I LIKED, BUT, YOU KNOW, I CAN'T DRAW EVERYTHING. MY TOP TWO FAVORITE SHOWS, JEREMY SCOTT & the BLONDS, ARE NOT SHOWN HERE BECAUSE THEY WILL GET THEIR OWN GRAND POSTS AT A LATER DATE.

SO HOPEFULLY IN ANOTHER WEEK WE'LL HAVE A LONDON AND MILAN FASHION WEEK POST AS WELL. JUST CROSS YOUR FINGERS THAT I KEEP UP WITH IT!!!

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!!!

BABY I'M YOUR BOOMBOX!!!

NOW, CHEERLEADERS MAY USUALLY BE THE MOST POPULAR GIRLS IN THEIR SCHOOL, BUT I CAN GUARANTEE AIN'T NONE OF THEM GOT A THING ON K-Y-L-I-E! WHEN SHE PERFORMED HER SONG 'HEART-BEAT-ROCK' ON THE XTOUR2008 SHE MESHED THE TRACK WITH 80'S CAMP CLASSIC 'HEY MICKEY' AND A WHOLE NEW CHEER SQUAD THEME WAS BORN! ONLY Miz MINOGUE CAN DO PEP RALLY CHIC THIS WELL!
I SKETCHED THIS PIECE OUT WAAAY BACK IN '08, BUT I'VE BEEN ON A KYLIE-COSTUME-KICK LATELY, SO I FINALLY GOT IT FINISHED. YOU'LL BE SEEIN' A FEW MORE OF HER TOUR LOOKS IN THE MONTHS TO COME.

P.S. - T-SHIRTS, CARDS AND STICKERS WITH THIS FAB CREATION ON THEM CAN BE PURCHASED AT MY ONLINE STORE. JUST CLICK THROUGH AND SHOP AWAY! ---> http://www.cafepress.com/BryanHollingsworth

THE TRIP BACK

WELL WELL WELL, LOOKIE WHAT THE CAT DRAGGED IN! HERE ARE 3 OOOOOOLD DRAWINGS I DID THAT I RECENTLY RAN ACROSS AND DECIDED TO SCAN AND SHARE. I DID THESE AT A TIME WHEN I WANTED ALL OF MY DRAWINGS TO HAVE BLACK FRAMES OR BOXES AROUND THEM. I STILL LIKE TO DO THE BLACK BOX THING, BUT I'M A BIT LOOSER ON APPLYING THE CONCEPT TO EVERYTHING I DRAW. GROWTH!

THE FOUR DESIGNS SHOWN HERE ARE BY: KANSAI, SCOTT BARRIE, BIBA AND KATHERINE HAMNETT (original queen of the message T!!!).

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!)

BETTER THAN TODAY

DON'T YOU EVER WISH YOU COULD ENTER A GAME OF PAC-MAN? NO? WELL I GUESS KYLIE DID BECAUSE THE VIDEO FOR HER CATCHY NEW SINGLE "BETTER THAN TODAY" LOOKS LIKE A 80'S VIDEO GAME GONE GLAM! THE COSTUMES OF La MINOGUE AND HER DANCERS ARE REMINISCENT OF THE LITTLE GHOSTS THAT PAC-MAN CHASES AROUND THE MAZE IN HIS NAMESAKE GAME, WHILE HER BAND MEMBERS WEAR GIANT PLASTIC PAC-MAN HEADS. WISH I HAD ONE OF THOSE FOR HALLOWEEN! I REALLY ENJOYED THE VIDEO AND I REALLY ENJOYED THE OUTCOME OF THIS PIECE.

SOME OTHER PEOPLE ALSO ENJOYED IT, BECAUSE MY ARTWORK OF KYLIE IS FEATURED ON THE AMAZING KYLIE STYLE BLOG!!! THEY'VE ALSO POSTED MY PIC OF KYLIE IN HER 'COWBOY STYLE' OUTFIT FROM THE 'KYLIEFEVER2002' TOUR. I'M VERY GRATEFUL TO THE SITE'S BLOGGERS ROBBIE AND ROBYN FOR THEIR ATTENTION AND SUPPORT!!!

SHOP TILL YOU DROP!!!

I SPENT THE END OF 2010 FINALLY MAKING MYSELF A STORE ON THE WONDERFUL CAFEPRESS.COM WEBSITE. WITH THE HELP OF THE SITE YOU CAN PRODUCE MANY FINE PRODUCTS ADORNED WITH YOUR ARTWORK, WHICH IS JUST WHAT I DID! I'VE GOT T-SHIRTS AND POSTCARDS AND STICKERS AND CALENDERS AND GREETING CARDS AND WATER BOTTLES AND EVEN STUFF FOR BABIES! ALL WITH MY ILLUSTRATIONS STUCK ALL OVER THEM. THE PRODUCTS ARE FUN AND AFFORDABLE. I'M REALLY PROUD OF THE WAY THE SHOP TURNED OUT AND I HOPE YOU'LL ALL LIKE THE PRODUCTS.
SO WHAT CHA' WAITING FOR? BE THE 1st KIDDIE ON YOUR BLOCK TO HAVE YOUR VERY OWN B! ORIGINAL CREATION!!!
