Eye-Vee: Painting Update



Eye-Vee: 20 x 24 oil on Birch panel

You've seen my artwork before, in terms of the charcoal/graphite/oil mixed media illustrations, but with the exception of sporadic teasers on my Facebook fan page, I haven't actually showcased any of my paintings. Maybe it's because I only truly implemented the use of the paint brush a couple of months ago... now I can't seem to put it down. So today, something in the air felt slightly magical, like it was finally the right time to introduce the other pieces I've been working on.
So here's a partial peek at Eye-Vee, the dangerous visionary. That's all I'll say about her for now, but once you see the entire painting, you'll definitely understand what I mean.
I hope you like her!

Happy Friday everyone!

It looks superb. I'm sure it looks even better on canvas, not as a photo.

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
