Easter Times and Jazz

Hallo kittens, below is my illustration and well, its pretty self explanatory really. 
I'm feeling super blah and nauseated today :( darn my antibiotics. So lets hope la sunshine will help put a smile on this grumpy kittens face. 

Happy Easter jizz jazz one and all.

Apples and Pairs

Whilst flicking through an old sketchbook of mine I stumbled across this illustration I drew. I adore the fresh colours of the pink against the green, its extremely summery. This drawing was inspired by an illustrator but for the life of me I canny remember who it was that inspired me. If anyone knows please do let me know. 
My illustration reminded me of this song, and I absolutely adore this track by Slow Club titled 'Apples and Pairs'. The video is so quaint in its hand crafted manner. This song reminds me of summer days and strolls along beaches.

I love you Lara

I know it's not just me who appreciates the beauty that is Lara Stone. She is a fantastic model, her face is so strong and powerful and captivates me so. Here are two of my illustrations of la fabulous Lara.
This scribbling is based upon the image below:
And scribble number 2

And again this illustration was inspired by la picture below:
OOOhhhh and if you haven't already seen it, Lara stars in Versace's Versus perfume advertisement and it's fab, she's fab! WE LOVE YOU LARA!

Oh BOY!

This song has been permanently stuck in my head for over a week. It's completely unshakeable. 
The video by no means does this song justice! 
Listen along and let it infect your brain too!


Miss Li 'Oh Boy'

Little Red and Diet Coke

This makes me want to dye my hair red again!
 
I miss being red :(
Brown is dull, black was too intense and ginger makes me look like a giant blotch! I still have blonde to test out. 
Hmmmm maybe I shall dye it red again in la summer?


I do adore the doll puppets Diet Coke uses for its advertisements. 
They used them when they sponsored Ugly Betty which fits in with the pretence of fashion being 'plastic' and 'fake'. 
Ahh I miss Ugly Betty.
Here's some of the awesome ad's:

Natanya

This is my illustration of Natanya, designer of Flutter by Daisy. I posted previously an illustration I had done of her as a bunny (click here to view post).
Please do go check out her blog: What Natanya did.
Myself and Keighley attended the Flutter By Daisy fashion show in London only the other week. 
The show was ever so magical and ethereal with the models like woodland nymphs. 
Unfortunately my silly camera wouldn't take any pretty pictures so I am unable to show the fairy like dresses the show contained but here is a beautiful dress which depicts her feminine style:
Dressed in her sublime garments and with her pixie like features, you can imagine Natanya being a Princess of some forest faeries and sprites in a far off magical land, kinda like David Bowie's character 'Jared; The Goblin King' in the amazing Labyrinth.
Ahhhh I fell so in love with David Bowie in this legendary film!
I absolutely ADORE this sequence. And the song is so mesmerising!
 
I think I may just go play the film soundtrack album right now!

New Blog Header

So I've changed my blog header.
It's nothing special, I just fancied a change.
These are the illustrations I drew of my final collection being modelled upon la catwalk. 
So yeh that's all I really wanted to say.
Today has been a sad day so I'm gonna go eat marzipan.
