ODE TO SUMMER

Who doesnt love mary-kate!!!??the skinnier, cooler of the olsen twins with her caffiene gluggling, granny chic, pro-fur, acessories drenched style!!! :D i havent got this mag but want it since i already waste money i dont have on fashion mags. Currently on the list= pop, new vogue and tatler/bazaar-whichever had karen elson on the front!

yay! lopsided eyes!kinda good/kinda shabby. I enjoyed the a1 scale and cropped composition.The colour was really hard to get right hence why its not.
This is a painting by stella vine who i love. Its of lady gaga obviously. After seeing her work i started this exaggerated painting of cheryl cole but havent finished it, note: always finish a painting when ur on a role otherwise u never do!
This is a a5  book of lady gagas telephone video. I did a smaller, more eclectic one first and decided i wanted to do more images from this video. Its spose to be a graphic novella type thing.I think some of the images would work well if i scanned n then coloured certain areas in flat colour on illustrator. Lets see if i get round to finishing it!let alone finsihing it without hatred of the work creeping in!lols

on a side note: aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh summers almost over, cannot wait to see friends, sort out new home n go batti during freshers but scared bout the work n my envietable apathy/resentment of it! Going be sooo depressing as it starts to get all dark n cold too bleh!!

GAGA

Had to split the post-too much megabites or some such like!
These are some of the pages from the  original, wee A7 book of gaga videos. She is very graphic n viually striking so it is easy to choose poses or images that are quite dynamic. I thought the telephone video especially had more material hence why i decided to focus on it.
As always i found applying colour to the strong line quite tricky n came to the conclusion that they looked better  with less or no colour.
This micky mouse outfit is one of my favourites!!!!
Plus the tarantino-esque nurse!!! :)

Ch-ch-ch-ch-cherryBOMB!!!!

The name of this post has nothing to do with it other than i saw  The Runaways last night and the song n dakota fanning n the clothes n kirsten stewart as joan jett rocked!

I've been trying to do a lot of sketching n portraits  this summer. Above is alexa chung from the cover of harpers bazaar which is reasonably successful. Most of the ones i do requiring binning cos they suck...
I love collaging images n fashion rip-outs. I have a whole sketchbook of it now, mostly focusing on juxtaposition n using up space. I might try doing one that is a straight-forward flickbook of genres n influences/references.

yay heartshaped!!it stayed in the heart-shape when i moved it :)
