Proenza Schouler + Foster the People

So, as I mentioned in the last post,
one of my best friends Sean Cimino is in a band called "Foster the People".
Well, I spent the day listening to their first EP.
So I had to put one of their songs on this video.
The painting is of Proenza Schouler Spring 2011 ads campaign.
I don't know if you have seen the ads but they are truly beautiful.
The second I saw the pictures I busted out a piece of paper and started sketching it.
So I thought I would make a video for you all :)
I hope you like it.

Elle Fanning Time-lapse Painting

Hello Hello!
How was your weekend?
I saw a brilliant movie called the "The King's Speech".
If you haven't seen it, go see it.
It's such a moving movie. Loved it!

So I'm happy to present you with a new Speed Painting Video.
As your remember, a month ago i started watching Hayao Miyazaki and i saw his movie "My Neighbor Totoro".
The main girls in the English version of the movie were played by, at the time very young little sisters Elle & Dakota Fanning.
I was blown way how amazing they were in that movie.
And then recently, i stumbled across a beautiful editorial of Elle Fanning (not sure what magazine it was from).
She has a really great look.
She has a little bit of Gemma/Sophie Ward look going on, plus she was wearing a dress from Valentino's spring 2011 collection,
and I thought she would be perfect in my pop culture series,
so the other day i did this painting and made this video for yawl.
I had to do some finishing touches on the painting,
but will post it tomorrow! I hope you like the video!

My "Alice in Wonderland" for Forever21

Hey Friends, well i have some exciting news!
Today, I was featured in Forever21's magazine. Also, the article mentioned a little something about a Little Collaboration i'm doing with Forever21!! :)
I'm really excited about it. The Collaboration is still a little bit away from coming out. As far as the magazine, I did a few paintings for the "Alice in Wonderland" editorial. As I did the painting, I thought I would make a drawing process video for yawl. So this video was born out of it.
It is crazy, I had to speed the video up 6,000 times faster! haha
There is going to be a give away of my 2 limited edition prints of my paintings for F21. If you want to win one, click and enter in the give away.

Oh also, the song from the video was written by my really good friend Tim Frost. I stay with Tim & his wife Deanda every time i go out to Texas. But there is a cool story with the album. Tim wrote this album for his son, who loved Nintendo sound effects. So he wrote this full album inspired by video game sounds. Basically, it's completely brilliant, and is one of my favorite albums! The album's name is "Beadbox"! haa How awesome is that. I draw to this album all the time. He just put it up on itunes. If you want to buy it click here! Also, thank you so much to Elite Model Management for your post of my painting of Masha Kirsanova.

Julia In Motion -- Video

Well, I'm excited to unveil the 5th Speed Painting Video.
It's me painting Julia Frakes Benefit Invite.
I tried something a little different this time around.
So, I picked out this genius song by Yann Tiersen,
before i even started the drawing...
Then i counted how many beats per minute there were in the song.
Also, i broke the song up into 4 main parts.
So then my goal was to try to create a visual that matched the music,
which means i had to draw a line and then stop and take a picture, and so on...
It was brutal, i'm not going to lie. haha
Trying to pay attention to the drawing, and also counting how many pictures i had taken,
so i could coordinate different mediums coming into the music....
Basically, this video was kinda crazy to make...
but i really like how it turned out.
Feel free to repost or embed the video anywhere you want ;)
There are a lot of subtleties in this video which makes it fun to watch and re watch.
I hope you like how this Stop Motion Video turned out.
If you could help me get the word out about the video, that would be incredible!
Hope your having a great day!
I love you all so much! :)

P.s. if you watch it over on youtube you can watch the High Definition (HD) version of it! :)

The Birthday Short

Hello Friends!
How are you?
How was your weekend?
Thank you all for all your birthday wishes Saturday!
It was a wonderful 24th birthday!
My family gave me the surprise gifts of gifts...
It's an Old Russian 16mm Film Camera called a Krasnogorsk K-3.
It's the camera my favorite director started out using.
i never thought i would get one, and really didn't even know they knew how much i wanted it!.
Thanks my family! Love you! ;)
It was especially amazing cause i've been wanting to get a little more into directing films...
so now i have to, huh? i've got a concept already for my first short film..
I'll let you know more about it when i'm ready cause i will probably need some help! hah ;)

Ok, so as a thank you to all of you for supporting me,
i thought on my birthday, it's better to give than receive...
So i made you all this video...
This was my first time experimenting with my own version of Walt Disney's Mulitplane Camera.
I felt like a Mad Scientist making this...
My Studio is thrashed and it's so tough working on glass and using dimension...
well, I hope you like it. :)
Oh, the picture i drew was off of my sketch for the Series on Love.
