Alex and Vina preview post

Have you heard of Alex and Vina?
Los Angeles native, Jeanine Romo is the amazingly talented creative designer behind Alex and Vina, a handmade jewelry collection named after and inspired by the love shared between her grandparents. With the intent to establish an organic aesthetic, Jeanine doesn't disappoint as she breathes new life into each delicately-crafted piece while offering designs both beautiful and timeless. I recently had the pleasure of talking to Jeanine and what I quickly discovered was an innovative line of jewelry that not only captures an authentic vintage influence but one that also integrates the various elements of modern day sophistication. 
She was kind enough to send over the loveliest care package that, of course, invoked a serious amount of happy dancing, and I promise lots of pictures are coming soon! Thank you, Jeanine... you're such a sweetheart!

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
