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!

GIVING YOU EVERYTHING

AFTER YEARS OF COLLECTING RESEARCH AND BEING TOO BUSY TO REALLY DIVE IN, I HAVE FINALLY STARTED MY SPICE GIRLS PAPER DOLL PROJECT! MY PLAN IS TO TRY TO DRAW ALL THE OUTFITS OF THE 90'S MOST POPULAR AND SUCCESSFUL GIRL GROUP. THE FIVE LOOKS SHOWN HERE ARE GENERIC OUTFITS THAT ARE TYPICAL OF WHAT THE SPICE GIRLS WORE IN THEIR HEY DAY. I CAN'T WAIT TO DO MORE!

TWEET ME

NOW, WE KNOW I LOVE A FASHION SHOW FROM THE BLONDS, BUT THIS YEAR? GHUUURL! WE HAD ALIENS AND VULCANS AND TWEETY BIRDS! OH MY! THEIR ODE TO ALL THINGS YELLOW AND PLATINUM AND, WELL, BLOND HAD ME APPLAUDING AT MY COMPUTER SCREEN. THE DELICATELY BEADED CORSETS WERE ON POINT, AS ALWAYS, BUT THE BRIGHT CANARY YELLOW ONE SHOW AT LEFT MIGHT JUST BE MY FAV! THE ONLY THING BETTER THAT A OVER-SIZED MIRABEAU BUSTLE SKIRT IS A GIANT OVER-SIZED HAIR BUN!

NOW, I WONDER IF THEY MAKE THAT CORSET IN MY SIZE . . .?

(p.s. This is my 200th post! Hurray me!!!)

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.

THE GREAT DAISY

I WAS WATCHING THE 1974 FILM ADAPTION OF THE F. SCOTT FITZGERALD NOVEL "THE GREAT GATSBY" LATE AT NIGHT NOT TOO LONG AGO. I HAD JUST SEEN THE NEWER BAZ LUHRMANN VERSION OF THE BOOK AND WANTED TO REVISIT THE VERSION THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY BEST KNOWN. I PAUSED ON THIS IMAGE OF STAR MIA FARROW AS DAISY BUCHANNAN NERVOUSLY SIPPING HER CHAMPAGNE AND SKETCHED IT IMMEDIATELY. I INKED AND PHOTO SHOPPED IT THIS PAST WEEKEND, AND EVEN WATER COLORED UP A TREE FOR THE BACKGROUND. I'M SO PROUD OF THE WAY IT TURNED OUT. I THINK THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST PIECES I HAVE EVER DONE. I HOPE YOU GUYS LIKE IT TOO!

GIRLS OF SUMMER
