Laumeier


He’d been thinking and that always spells trouble. But when he finally made the request to stop by the park, it wasn’t surprising to spend outrageous amounts of time ambling about the aesthetically sun-drenched afternoon. Somehow, I disregarded the actual destination, though the random drive-by and screaming sculptures beckoned my ubiquitous love child camera, despite my blighted feet tracking through clumps of dingy soil. The radically unexpected backdrop that persistently changes just couldn’t be ignored. It would be some unspoken offense, I’m thinking. And after the resurrection of several obscured pieces in the nadir of a well-discussed sickly closet, my analysis of this outfit that debuted in One More Wont Hurt is self-explanatory with these Steve Madden savage kicks.

Offsetting pearls against this tweedy relic vest, the fantastically long buttoned-down Henley, and tatty shorts that used to be crisp and fashion uncontaminated… until I wrangled them with fierce beatings and pair of uber-sharp scissors the size of a meat cleaver= love it.
Hands-down the coolest sculpture to date was, The Eye.
I had the strangest feeling we were being watched...
And I couldn't resist posing while giving my best-worst evil eye impression...

Wholly fried chicken!

I hadn't realised i wasn't part of your 'entourage' lol. I never use the main page to keep up with others' posts you see. Just the blogroll and comments. Eep. Know i'm very happy to be part of your 'entourage' if you'd like :P (btw you have no choice. I'm already here and in for the keeps :P) :)

Your photoshopped picture scared me because it looked like you were popping out of a 60's hooror film with the grey backdrop but thats cool because its Halloween soooooooon!

I like the shorts. I'm glad you savaged them with your scissors. They needed to be taught a lesson (for what i do not know......)

I love working in long pearls too, when I can. xx LOVELY.

Thanks for the comments, you're a darling.

To answer your question: the waist (of my shorts) are stretchy-elastic. Fun, and comfortable.

Ergh, yes someone did whisper it, loudly i'll add :( But i'm going to let this roll over like a deluge of water and dry it with a kick ass workout tomorrow lol.

I was actually reffering to the one of you without the eye. Its so visually interesting. Btw i forgot to mention that the eye sculpture is amazing, we walked through a giant colon the other day and the lesions were FANTASTIC to see close up haha

Mmmh Mmmh this huge eye is oddly conceptual, and I think that it is the oversized reflection of the famous "Vavoooommmesque effect" inherent to your "SEXYness-issime" apparition through many persons' eyes !!! "Brighted feet", Oooohhh just like the painful ransom of subliming Heels . . .
ps: Thanks INFINITELY for your comment about my article !!!

A Bientôt, Antoine

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.

Jeffrey Campbell x Solestruck Box It Up

I bet many of you heard about (or even entered) the Jeffrey Campbell x Solestruck Box It Up challenge that took place last month that's giving one lucky person the opportunity to score $1000 worth of JC shoes and be the inspiration for the next shoebox design. And while I think they're still in the process of narrowing down three top finalists to display via their Facebook page for voters to decide the grand winner, I thought I'd take a second and share my entry with you! About my design: When I first learned of the challenge via e-mail, I got super excited at the prospect of designing and illustrating something that would appeal to the masses amongst our little shoe-obsessed demographic. I get asked a lot of interesting questions regarding my own shoe collection, so I spent the afternoon rummaging through the multicolored stacks of shoeboxes and paying particular attention the many labeled Jeffrey Campbell. The search for inspiration wasn’t difficult, and soon I knew ex
