Closet Inventory : Completed

The project I started this summer if finally over. As much as I hate to stop, I need to for my own sanity. I got into this thing where I tried to recreate it as best as possible. So you'll spot some Mishka (sweater/dress), Betsey Johnson (tights/dresses/cardigan), Marc Jacobs (shoes), Uniqlo (dress), and Zara (everything). I have a problem with getting overly detailed...


October

November

December


Here are a few highlight outfits I got a little too pattern happy, or just generally liked wearing.

F21 blouse, PegLeg skirt, Sam Edelman shoes

F21 flannel, Rebel 8 shirt, KillCity jeans, Vans slip-ons

Sister's old thrifted sweater, F21 dress, Zara boots

Kimchi Blue hoodie, Free People dress, Gap tights, thrifted boots

Pins and Needles blouse, Silence & Noise trousers, Ann Demeulemeester wedge sandals


PS- I may post a single outfit periodically in the future if I really love it. There's no denying that I'll be creating new outfits later on.

Pattern Making : Hair/Girls

I took a break from vectoring to play around with some drawing. Starting with some post-it notes (which I love dearly) and my favorite Japanese brush pen.

I was on the fence about adding in girls, but then I figured there had to be a source for all that hair. Here's the result after playing around in photoshop:




Perhaps I was a bit ambitious by starting with something so intricate. Next one will be a little more simple. Until then...

Teaser : Lola

Sometime around Christmas I completed a little layout job my friend/photographer, Hadar, approached me about in November. Things got a little busy, and although I wish I would've had a quicker turn around on this, I'm pleased with the results. It certainly would've been different had I gone down the initial path of ideas I had conceived.

Archive : Noonis aka toys

Meet the Noonis. I don't know why I never posted these, but I found them today in a box while searching for something else. I made them last fall out of found wood, model kit parts, and building blocks. The vector image below was the final color study that I threw together before painting the mash-up of parts I wood-glued up.

I wish I could remember all their names... (worst memory in the world here)

The purple guy in the study wasn't finished due to time constraints.

Closet Inventory : August 2010

I think it's safe to say I need a life.



Either way, I'm slowly catching up on these illustrations. In other news, there's a possibility that I might be leaving Texas, or maybe Austin still has some more surprises for me... Details to come in the near future.

Closet Inventory : July 2010

One fine July morning while waiting at work, I starting doodling as per the usual idle time. Hearts, type and pandas somehow led me to creating this idea of illustrating my daily work outfit. No big deal, right? This sparked another challenge: how long could I go without repeating an entire outfit? So far, I've been going strong since June 7th. Sadly, I only started this project July 13th, so there's a good chunk missing.


I have some of August started, but so far its only living in its pen drawing form for the moment. I'm going to figure out what to do with these soon enough...
