another favorite fashion spread (few years old). Also check out The Terrier and the Lobster – they are always posting many of my favorite fashion spreads, many of which I am too lazy to scan.

sloth studies
July 18th, 2011I did some sloth sketches today. It’s for a new project - well a revisit of an old project. I bought myself some markers, water colors and gouache. I’ve never really used gouache or watercolors before my paintings last week – so it’s fun to just experiment. So far, I feel like it suits me much better than oil paints. I’m pretty happy with the 2nd one and might end up using that one in the final project.

doodle-dangpods
July 8th, 2011
So… when I was little I used to make up stories for my siblings about dodle-dangpods (or doodle-dangfods i can’t really remember.) Anyway they were little creatures that lived in trees that were formed right after a drip of water hits a puddle.
So i was pretty stoked when i found this bag in Portland last weekend.
Art work by Sylvia Portella, Bag by BlueQ
Here’s an animation I made about how they are formed. It also features pink bumblebees – which i still believe exist. I also believe that I was stung by one when i was 4 or 5 – it was long and skinny and had a little fat friend – that was slightly more orange.

Magazine Pattern Scraps
July 8th, 2011
I always save tears from magazines, but sometimes the tiniest little part of the page is really interesting and I feel compelled to save it. So I end up with all these little bits of magazines I don’t know what to do with. They are usually prints, or background textile. So I smashed them all together them and used them as inspiration for the paintings I posted earlier today.
