Chanel Girl

Happy Saturday everyone :)
I hope you've had a great week so far.

This painting is inspired by Chanel Spring Couture 2009. It's one of my favorite collections from Chanel. I love the structure of the dresses and the elaborate paper headdresses. :) I did a little bit of collage work on the wood. It's fun to combine different mediums together.

Amelia

I've been working on some small fashion illustrations on wood pieces lately. Usually my girls have a very stoic expression on their faces, so I wanted to try something new and add more emotion to them. I don't know why but the name "Amelia" popped up in my head while I was painting this girl. I saw a picture of this dress on Tumblr and it looked like it belonged to her. Let me know what you think. :)

Monday Madness

Happy Monday everyone! :)

I stayed up way too late last night painting. I'm chugging a big glass of coffee right now to keep myself up haha. It's irritating, but I seem to always get inspired and in "painting mode" in the late hours of the night. I really need to readjust myself to wake up early to paint and sleep at a decent hour.

I am in love with Chanel's Spring 2012 RTW collection so I decided to paint one of my favorite dresses. I love collections that invoke magical and whimsical imagery. This collection is like a magical undersea world of sea horses, pearls, mermaids, and shells.

Lily Cole

Happy Thursday everyone :)

This is an old chalk pastel drawing of model Lily Cole. I did this in my Intermediate drawing class for the final project. My professor Jack Hanna was super awesome and he basically gave us free reign on our creative vision.

Tofu Village

The other day Paul and I went to Tofu Village in Chinatown to try some Korean dishes. This was the first time I had Korean food. It was so delicious! I got a big stone pot of white rice that was topped off with many different veggies, an egg, and beef. It was SOOOO GOOD! I finished the whole bowl. They gave us so much food and extra mini side dishes to add. I was very impressed. Definitely going to eat there again and try some other dishes! I am in love :D
