Iron Maiden






Possibly one of the most hauntingly whimsical locations we've ever shot at before... brimming with a plethora of indistinct sculptures, dilapidated buildings, stonework sheds, iron flowers, waif butterflies, painted bells echoing from nowhere and everywhere, mosaic glass falling from windowsills, and a beaten path that led directly to an unkempt cemetery. Hindsight leaves me wishing I could've captured the splintered park bench that not only appeared to be panting from the summer sun, but was also etched between lovers and the lone companion to the river of white crosses.

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.

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
