wild at heart~ Fashion Illustration


Since I was stuck at home last night without the boyfriend, I quickly turned to one of my favorite creative vices to rescue me from any superfluous amount of boredom. And since I'd just recently posted images of Abbey Lee Kershaw for Dazed & Confused here, I was feeling pretty inspired to don a funky wolf suit, which meant I decided to watch Where the Wild Things Are. In the end, this drawing consumed most, if not all, of my time... at least until I started thinking I needed a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It was all downhill from there...

You do have a natural talent, and I really like your signature.
I always notice signatures because I hate my own, consequently I do not sign most of my work. Put that ice cream down and draw, I'll be back to check.

The Body

You can barely see it in the last post , so here's a clearer picture of   what I've been working on in my new art studio... not that it hasn't come with little stop your heart stress moments.   The first time I attempted this piece, now referred to as The Body , was mutually as terrifying as it was exhilarating. It was the first full hand drawing I'd ever attempted, and everything was going smoothly until the moment I decided to incorporate oil paint, also the first in my artwork experiences. My grandmother was an award-winning artist, but now, without her wealth of knowledge and go-to advise, this is really a learning/teach yourself process. The drawing was done and exactly how I wanted it, the hair and tights were painted, and the final stages involved adding skin and the completion of the tattoos.   I didn't go in naively, I understood that it would inevitably boil down to the dynamics of trial and error, so I inhaled deeply and began creating my palette.

Having never been given such an incredibly surreal opportunity before, you can imagine my absolute surprise... followed by some sort of psychotic jubilation. At the time, I'd only been drawing for about a month, which means the designs you're seeing are some of my very first artworks! Brainstorming endless possibilities, the process began with a series of sketches, clipart graphics, and silhouette collages until I further conceptualized the vision by deciding to submit only my illustrations.  After presenting numerous options, Graziano and the team exclusively selected their top picks... and after several months of diligence, reworking, and constant communication, my artwork was transformed into a beautiful line of ecru shirts forever deemed, Vintage Lollipops x M
