Lily & Gemma Book Drawing 100

Wow! Today went by quicker and longer than i expected.
You know those kind of days?
Well, i just had one of them.
Spent the day drawing and catching up on work and emails.
Also, spent a little time looking through some of the NYFW shows i didn't go to...
I have to say, i sure wish i had gone the Rodarte show!
I mean, wow! They busted out the sharpie and went to town! haha
The Collection is so awesome!
It looked like some of the hair and make up was inspired by Tavi's amazing Borders & Frontiers shirt ;)

Well, tonight i present you with Drawing 100 which is the last drawing out of Volume one of "The Character Sketchbook".
It's a couple years old now...
but it's always fun looking through that book...
I really hope you like it! :)

P.S. I picked up my artwork from the art show tonight. I was like a kid in a candy store to have all the framed pieces back home. Posted a picture up on my Image Diary of me with one of the pieces~!

Fashion Week Build Up

Well, my friends...
The race is on... The countdown has began and the mid-night candles are a burning!
haah Well, 11 days left till i fly out to New York.
I am currently staring at my multiple page "to-do before I leave list",
and trying to figure out how it's physically possible to finish everything in time.
Yesterday, i dropped off with my framer, all of my art that is going to be at my September 11 art show.
He is amazing! I'm really getting excited for the show now.
I dropped off my 5ft X 4.5ft X 1ft layered painting at the framers, too.
It's the first time i will be showing this piece, i'm so excited about it.
If you don't know which painting i'm talking about Click Here to see it.
The Video up on that post shows the process of me making the piece. :)

The picture today is from Volume 2 out of my Character Sketchbook.
Since i drew it last year in Bryant Park at NYFW, i thought it would be a good little sike up.
I still don't have my official schedule settled yet, been getting invites over the last few days,
but once i have everything finalized, i will post the schedule! :)
Well, hope you all are doing great!

Edit: The amazing site Modelina has featured my work on there site in an incredible slide show click here to check it out!

Sophie Ward - The Girl From Space

Today I thought I would post a Character Sketch book Drawing I did a little while back of my Good Friend Sophie Ward.

I was looking through old drawings tonight and when I saw the drawing I did of her it made me miss her, so i decided to post one.

Sophie is an incredible person.

We end up on fun adventures when ever we hang out.

I think this picture about sums it up! ;)

I hope you like it!

Character Sketchbook 163

Well, it's lovely just sitting with friends right now listening to a Fred Astaire album,
and everyone is quietly working and enjoying each other's company.
The Character Sketchbook drawing today is of Sophie.
i thought is only fitting with her being here and all.
i looked through her modeling portfolio tonight for the first time.
i was completely blown away!
All the shots were incredible!
It was really fun to see.

Hide N Seek

When was the last time you all played Hide & Seek?
This image reminds me of playing that game.
How was your day?
Mine was great, drawing grid suit Croquis (Fashion sketchs) all day.
Got like 25-30 drawn now.
i decided to quit for the night when my eyes started to hurt and get all hazy... haha

The picture today is from Volume 2 of my Character Sketchbook.
The original picture is of Swedish model Mona Johannesson.
I love the picture, i feel like the image captures Intimacy & Love perfectly.
At least, whenever i think about love, that image pops into my head, not sure why.
It's just so playful.
I'm not sure if my picture has that same feeling, but i sure tried... haha.
Well, i hope you all are doing wonderful, and hope you like the drawing :)

Gemma Ward and Lily Cole - Character Sketchbook 161

Hello! Sorry for how long its been
since my last post. I've been working
like crazy on the story my brother and I are
writing. Currently sorting inspiration images
for locations and characters. Its been very intense!

This painting is from my Character Sketchbook and
is based on a photo by Annie Leibovitz. I love how dynamic
the photo is with so many different people in it and I
hope the painting captured that.

I hope you like the painting and hope I can start posting more!

Character Sketchbook 174

Hey guys~! How are you all doing today?
It's been a great Saturday.
Went to the beach with my brother and my friends Ryan and Alice and filmed some video.
Now, we are just sitting eating pizza(my favorite) and watching Arrested Development(my favorite)!

Hope you like drawing #174 from the Character Sketchbook.
i did it a year ago. It's kinda crazy; layered it with different papers.
So trippy, huh? :)

Lily & Her Chair

Wow, today was really fun!
i started hearing back and seeing picture from a lot of the people who ordered the Girl in Glasses Tee.
Finding people wearing the shirt today was... to quote Geri Hirsch "kind of like Where's Waldo!"
It was really fun.
If your shirt arrives, if you could send me a picture of you sporting it, that would be amazing!
It's so much fun seeing you all sporting the shirt! Thanks again so much! ;)

The drawing for tonight i did 2 Thanksgivings ago.
It's of Lily Cole sitting on a chair.
I really like how it turned out, kinda reminds me of being in a dream.
You know how sometimes in dreams objects size and scale don't really line up with reality.
This picture reminds me of that! hah

The 144th Drawing in the SKetchbook

Well my friends, it's only the first day of the week and i'm yawning pretty hard right now.

I drew these two black and whites of her in the character sketchbook
that i really like how they turned out.

Frida Gustavsson Plane Sketch Part 2

Well, hello my friends, how was your weekend?
Mine was so nice!
Just finished watching "It's a Wonderful Life"....
Oh, my, that movie is so good!
I have to say Frank Capra is my All Time Favorite Movie Director.
Such incredible stories and story telling.

So the Image today is Plane Drawing #2 from My Flight to New York last week.
It was my first day drawing model Frida Gustavsson.
It was the day I fell in love with drawing her too! :)
She is adorable :)
I can't wait to do a more polished Painting of her.
I hope you like this sketch.

Also I spent this weekend helping my friend Alice, revamp her site.
Alice is the one who is helping me design a little clothing collection...
She has a wonderful blog (which I've posted some images from for inspiration friday)
but we revamped the site and her blog really didn't have a name,
so we came up with the name for it "Clouds & Candy".
Cause if you look through her site, it will remind you of Clouds & Candy. Haha
Check it out @ www.cloudsandcandy.com ! and enjoy!
make sure you tell her hi :)

Looking Back

Well, my friends, today was a good day of getting organized.
I cleaned my Studio! You should see it; it's all shiny and clean.
I thought of a little concept for a short film, if i ever get time, i want to make it.
The drawing tonight is out of Volume 2 of my Character Sketchbook.
For some reason, i really like how it turned out
It's kinda simple but the lines in it just seem right. :)
i hope you like it!
and i hope you all are having a great night or day (depending on where you are ;)

Frida Gustavsson Makes Flights More Enjoyable

Well Hello Friends!
I'm back from my 18 hours in NY!
Prom was amazing!
Thank you Sophie for going with me,
and thank you Claudine for having me come out to it!
It was a blast! :)
I posted a couple pictures of it on my image diary

Well, on the flight i drew for the first time a model that my friend Alice showed me.
Her name is Frida Gustavsson!
I have to say, she is currently my Biggest Model infatuation right now!
I love Drawing her, she is amazing.
So elegant & sweet.
I ended drawing like 6 or 7 pictures of her on the flight. This is one of pictures i did.
i was on a roll. hahaha
Well, i hope you're all doing amazing. :)


P.S. I posted this video of this 6th grade kid covering Lady Gaga Song on "Inside my Brain".
Check it out. It's mind blowing! haha It is!

Back in the Day

Oh wow... boy, do I miss the days back a few years ago when i started the Character Sketchbook.
I was going through the old book today, and it brought back so many memories.
It was so basic and simple, with so many accidents and freakish mess-up drawings...
That strangely enough work...

Lately, i've been longing to go back to that place,
so i think i might!
Starting at where i'm at, number #204,
i'm going back to simple pen drawings!

So, i hope you like #13. It's what brought me back to my roots today!
i'm hoping to do an art show displaying numbers 1-200 in order,
within this year... so we will see. i will keep you all posted.

Well, good night to you all my friends!
Thanks for everything.
