Somewhere in the shades

I have a certain type of relationship with my sunglasses. You know, they let me obsess then subsequently toss them on the passenger seat, love them until setting them aside because I've chosen a sister pair instead, and then eventually orbit back... loving and obsessing all over again. But sunglasses have a way of transforming your style aesthetic, which means one pair is never enough. This theory might be interlaced with the need to inundate my shopping cart with cat eyes and wayfarers each time I browse ShadesDaddy.com. Established in 2007, they're one of the largest online retailers of sunglasses, and have it all when it comes to name brand sunglasses... they even a celebrity category! 
When the president of the company, Brian Nelson, contacted me, I was absolutely thrilled to be collaborating with such an amazing team. Taking pride in not only a customer satisfaction that's flawlessly pioneered (or the fact that items arrive carefully packaged), they also boast an authenticity guarantee throughout an impressive collection of designers ranging from Bogetta Venetta, Marc Jacobs, Ray-Ban, Gucci, Chloe, and many more! This pair is so delicious!

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.

Designs by Bella: Vintage Lollipops x Magazzini del Sale Capsule Collection

Last year, Italian designer Graziano Moro of Magazzini Del Sale contacted me about collaborating and designing a five-piece Limited Edition capsule collection for their SS 11 Love Can Change the World t-shirt line. 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
