The Fashion World is in Love at First Sight with Blog Igor + Andres Model Drawings
Under this pseudonym hides Danny Roberts, a 22-year-old young artist trained in fashion design and a lover of models, whose drawings have gone beyond the virtual world. Roberts has already collaborated with three labels, nothing surprising considering he started his own t-shirt company when he was 13! Who are his favorite iconic models? The Ward sister, Gemma and Sophie. Their look is from another world—innocent and sophisticated. Roberts, who has drawn more than one hundred versions of Gemma Ward and Lily Cole, notes Egon Shiele, Aubrey Beardsly, Irving Penn, and Steven Meisel as influences. He is a fan of vintage Vogue and Vanity Fair covers, and would love to collaborate with McQueen. What’s next? He’s illustrating a children’s book written by Sophie Ward, publishing his own book, making short films, a cd…

HOW ARE YOU GOING TO SET YOUR TABLE FOR THANKSGIVING?
Everyone has a different way of entertaining for the holidays. Some people are lucky enough to GO somewhere else for the holidays and don't have to do all that work. Personally, I LOVE to host the holidays. To me it's so much fun to plan the menu, the table settings and the home decorating. I just wish there were more hours in the day to create some of these wonderful settings.......Take a look and see what you think.

Oh Yea... Did Yawl See McQueen?
First off, i have to say, i was completely touched by all your warm and encouraging comments on the last post!
Seriously, means alot! So thank you, thank you :)
Ok. So, did yawl see the Alexander McQueen Show??
How insane was that!?
In my life, I want to...
A) Attend an Alexander McQueen show
B) Collaborate with him on a project!
Basically, i was blown away by this collection!
So, when picking out which collections to paint for Paris Fashion Week coverage for Sundance Channel,
i had to paint something from this collection.
I really like how it turned out and crazy enough,
a week after i finished this piece, Bryan Boy twitted a link to a picture of a beautiful girl named Camilla Belle.
Oh, and guess which dress she was sporting???
Yep, this one!
It was fun seeing her wearing it.
I hope you like it!
Oh, also, my friends have been trying to get me on Facebook for a while... and i always fought it,
and my friend Ryan has been fighting getting a Twitter account,
and yesterday, he got a twitter account....
So, i broke down today and created a Facebook account.
If you want to add me as a friend, Click Here!

{winter whites + cozy nights}
. . . bright linens have given way to deeply rich colours and softly luxurious textures, and already dreaming, dreaming of romantic weekends away in fire-lit cabins, but most of all, winter whites and cozy nights . . .
