Magazine Covers Wallpaper

Happy Saturday!
Wow! This week went by way, way, way too quickly!
i had tons of deadlines, concerts, and planning.
But it's all good, cause it's Saturday.
Please forgive the lack of posts.
Let me fill you in: Wednesday, i got to see my friends' band, Eisley, perform.
The concert was amazing, and it was in Downtown Disney,
where i ended up buying two incredible books on Disney archive sketching and animation!!
It's incredible! i've been inspired insanely every time i look through it!
Then, Thursday night Ryan Baxley came over, and we started planning out the music album we are doing.
Super excited about it. Looks like it will be anywhere between 45-72 minutes long. ;)

Last night, I was working on drawings of Paris Fashion Week.
I did a painting of the new Chanel collection!
And... oh, my! i can't wait to show you all!
i love how it turned out!!!! it's currently my computer wallpaper.
I think it would look amazing as the cover of Vogue Paris.
I think it would be super classic looking. :)


Well, I'm about to go get coffee with my family
and then we are seeing "Where the Wild Things Are"!!
I just wanted to post the new and updated and improved Covers post.
Also, thought it might be cool to make it into a Computer Wallpaper for you all.

Polina Kouklina Vogue Cover

Wow! Ok, so this was one long weekend.
I ended up being sick all weekend.
It's kinda a curse i have...
Whenever i decide to take a few days off from working to rest, i get sick.
So pretty much, i'm always nervous about taking days off cause i get sick! haah

Well, i decided to finish up the painting i started on my trip to NYC.
You know, the one from the video?
Well, the painting is of the amazing Polina Kouklina on the cover of Vogue.
I have to say, Polina is one of my favorite models.
She is incredible looking, such a fresh look.
I hope you like it! :)
Hope you're having an amazing day! :)

Vogue 1962

Hey friends, here it is.
This is the 1962 Vogue Cover i drew while on the plane over here.
What do you think? Is it Audrey Hepburn?
My gut tells me it is, but not sure.
How have you all been?
It's been fun out here.
Just was walking on the beach over to Pipeline today and it began to rain on us.
It's incredible out here.
Don't think i could live out here cause i don't think i would get any work done. haha
Well, i hope you all are doing good and hope you like the cover. i can't wait to scan it when i get home.
This is just a snap shot of it. :)

Heather Marks Vogue Nippon

So two day went fast; got a lot done.
i listened to an album of all Fred Astaire songs.
It was so GOOD! i love Fred Astaire, he is amazing. :)
Oh also had my first in person interview today.
It was fun, alot different than doing interviews over email.

The drawing today i did a while back.
It's pretty funny, this person had started a Myspace profile pretending to be Heather Marks(model),
and at the time, i believed it,
so i did this drawing and sent it to her, all excited to see what she thought of it only to find out....
... oh yes, it was a fake account....
hahahaha i was suckered.
Oh well, if it casued me to make this picture, i'm not mad at it ;)
haha Have a great night!
