WIWT #4

I forgot to post this once I finished it, whoops. Anyways, another outfit!

And now for something completely different...

Sometimes I like to take a break from general cute things. I am trying to expand my portfolio a bit. c:

Just another work day! I also took some time to indulge in a tasty chocolate frappucciono, which is a total guilty pleasure of mine.

I swear I will get caught up with these at some point! I did some serious Madewell shopping (i.e. my favorite store. I used to visit one in Atlanta every weekend when I was living there!) a few weeks ago and have been so excited to wear everything. I've also done a lot of shopping at Gap as they're new Spring arrivals have been so cute!

WIWT #2

This is what I wore a while ago to work! The sweater has my favorite animal on it. LLAMAS!!!
Here. Have a llama.

I was having kind of a bad day today so I thought I would experiment in photoshop. It's nice to take a break from illustrator once and a while.

Sample graphics

I've been working on some sample graphics for my portfolio. It's been a nice chance to pace to work on some handwritten fonts and creating something other then cute animals.

WIWT #1

I've been really inspired by a lot of fashion blogs lately and wanted to start doing some what I wore today drawings...mostly because I am not at all photogenic, but I like to draw! Sometimes I just dress like a bum but there are a few gems here and there.

I wore this recently to a Orlando meet up I attended with my friends. I was so proud to find that cloud print dress and even more excited to wear it. It's a great addition to my collection, which consists of star print dresses...the obsession started on my last trip to Japan!

I am a little bit behind on making art, it's been difficult to find the time. But I'd love to draw these on a regular basis if possible. Wish me luck!

Print spotting

I happened to check the Carter's website recently and I spotted my mermaid/sea creature print! It's not available for purchase just yet but I was so excited to see it that I just had to share! :D It's the first time I have seen my artwork used for something tangible.

EDIT: It's available now, just search 'mermaid' on the shop site ;)

Heres a close up:

Sleepy time prints

More sleepwear prints, yay! They're for sure my favorite thing to work on, I like to make my animals cute and goofy. It's nice to explore different layouts and colors but my main goal is always to have fun with them!

I may also have a minor obsession with llamas and alpacas...

I simply can't resist their faces and buck teeth!

BONUS ROUND

A few random animal characters

Well hello again

I haven't really blogged in a loooooong time! I've never been much of a writer. It's been a weird year filled with lots of new experiences and trial and error. I interned for 10 months over in Atlanta and am overall very proud of my accomplishments thus far and it was awesome to live out a part of my dream. I now hope there are new and better things on the horizon for me. :) I'm going to try my best to actually update this thing with some of the projects I had been working on, I'd also love to reconnect with some fellow Ringling-ers!

Safari Time!

I wanted to create a cute safari friends print for my portfolio, I had a lot of fun with it! c:

Love Dogs

(It looks best it viewed in full size)

I haven't done any patterns in a while so it was nice to get back into them with some simple and fun dogs. The theme was little dogs, I'd love to get a dachshund one day!

The Doctor

Sometimes it's nice to just draw something fun. I have been watching a ton of Doctor Who lately so here is my interpretation of the Eleventh Doctor. :D

Shirt Designs

I wanted to create more for my children's clothing oriented portfolio so I came up with these to keep me busy. They're a bit cheesy, hah, but I do love cheese. I haven't had much luck anywhere yet but in the words of Dory from Finding Nemo I will "just keep swimming, just keep swimming". :)
