Lace wings and Renoir


It seems almost unnatural that Alex and I waited this long to take such a highly anticipated- to a degree only defined by intermittent public dancing- jaunt to the St. Louis Art Museum. Despite the insufferable heat and twenty second walk to and from the car that felt more like hell on earth, our 3.5 hours of inspiration didn't disappoint. 

Made an executive decision to avoid ending the day with bloody feet, so I kept things casual south of  my ankles.

Jeffrey Campbell x Solestruck Box It Up

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 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.
