GIRLS OF SUMMER

I'VE DONE ANOTHER SET OF 5 DRAWINGS FOR MTV.COM's 'GUY CODE BLOG'. THE THEME OF THIS WEEK'S LOST WAS "THE GIRLS YOU'LL SEE AT THE PARK THIS SUMMER. YOU CAN SEE THE ORIGINAL POST BY CLICKING . . . HERE!!!

CLASSIC CHIC

I DREW THIS AFTER I SAW A PICTURE OF A BEAUTIFUL VINTAGE ARNOLD SCAASI COAT FROM 1959. YELLOWISH-GOLD SILK W/ A FLORAL PRINT AND MATCHING GLOVES. I ALSO WANTED TO EXPERIMENT W/ HALF-TONE DOT PRINTS, LIKE FROM OLD COMIC BOOKS. IT TURNED OUT OK, SO NOW I GOTTA TRY IT OUT ON A SUPER-HERO PIECE.

HERE KITTY KITTY

I'M ALWAYS ON THE LOOKOUT FOR PICTURES OF CLOTHING MADE BY MY FAVORITE DESIGNER THIERRY MUGLER. IT'S NOT AS EASY AS YOU'D THINK! I STUMBLED ACROSS A GIF MADE OF THE A/W 1982 MUGLER SHOW FEATURING SOME FABULOUS MODELS IN CAT-SUITS. I GOT TO DRAWING RIGHT AWAY! I USED THE SAME BODY AND CHANGED UP THE ARMS AND FACES. I HAVE A FEELING I'LL BE RE-DRAWING THESE FASHION KITTIES OVER AND OVER.

WHO'S THE FAIREST OF THEM ALL?

                       

 VERTIGO COMICS' 'FABLES' IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE BOOKS TO READ. 'FABLES' TELLS THE STORIES OF FAMOUS CHARACTERS FROM LITERATURE EXILED TO OUR MODERN WORLD. EACH ISSUE HAS MORE ODD TWISTS AND TURNS THEN THE FAIRY TALES THEY WERE ORIGINALLY BASED ON.  THE CHARACTER WITH THE MOST COMPLEX STORY IS DE-FACTO LEADER OF THE CREW, SNOW WHITE. 

I WAS INSPIRED TO DO A PAPER DOLL SET OF SOME OF SNOW'S IMPORTANT LOOKS FROM THE COMIC. WE HAVE SNOW'S CLASSIC PRINCESS LOOK. Miss WHITE IN HER BUSINESS SUIT, SNOW AS SHE APPEARED IN THE '1001 NIGHTS OF SNOWFALL' STORY,  HER SAFARI SUIT AND FINALLY MOMMY SNOW WITH HER SIX WOLF CUB KIDS. THE MAIN DOLL SHOWS SNOW AT HER PIN-UP BEST. 

NOW, PRINT, CUT OUT THE DOLLS (INCLUDING THEIR FACE HOLES!) HAVE FUN WHILE YOU WAIT FOR PRINCE CHARMING TO SHOW UP.

BLACK IS THE NEW BLACK

FOR SOMETHING THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE FILLED WITH SO MANY CHOICES, FASHION CAN BE VERY LIMITING. IF THEY TELL YOU FLORAL PRINTS AND FLOPPY HATS ARE WHAT'S IN THIS SEASON, THEN THAT'S WHAT'S AVAILABLE TO BUY, AND WHAT CHOICE DO WE HAVE? 

EVERYONE KNOWS THAT BASIC BLACK IS THE GO-TO TREND FOR FASHIONISTA'S. SO I PRESENT THE BLACK IS THE NEW BLACK FASHION COLORING PAGE! JUST DON'T GET TOO OVERWHELMED TRYING TO DECIDE WHAT COLORS TO USE. BUST OUT YOUR BLACK SHARPIE'S AND GET CREATIVE, KIND'A . . . SORT'A . . . JUST TRY TO THINK TOO FAR OUTTA THE BOX.

DROP AND GIMMIE 5!!!

ALONG CAME A SPIDER . . .

THIS WEEKEND I GOT ALL CAUGHT UP IN THE WEB OF MY NEWEST HIPSTER-HERO, HIPSTER SPIDER-MAN. IT TOOK ME 12 HOURS TO FINISH THIS PIECE ON A SUNNY SATURDAY. I'VE INCLUDED THE ORIGINAL SKETCH AND A PIC OF WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE AT MY DESK WHEN I'M WORKING ON A NEW ARTISTIC MASTERPIECE (if i do say so myself! Ha!) I THINK THIS TURNED OUT GREAT! I CAN'T WAIT TO MAKE ANOTHER HIPSTER-HERO. MAYBE ONE WITH A THUNDEROUS TEMPER . . . hehehe
