The Road is Long, Tough, and Cold - Inspiration Friday

Well a Very Happy Inspiration Friday!
How are you doing my friends?
My Day has been amazing!
it's like the full trifecta...

1: It's Inspiration Friday
2: It's My Moms Birthday
3: I got Featured on MODELS.COM!!!

As you all pretty Much know Models are my favorite subject matter to draw.
So basically to be featured on the front page models.com is like a dream come true!
Thank you Chris from One Management & Models.com!

Today's inspiration Friday has a kind of dark vibe to it,
but listen to the band "Explosions in the Sky" while you are looking at the images,
and you should get the right vibe.
Last weeks image set was kind of the ending to this set.
Think of this weeks images as The First half of a book,
Last Weeks as the last half of a book.

I've been lovely some of those old paintings.
The Images are from Lina scheynius, Brassai, Hans Memling, Simone Martini, Steven Meisel, and Joseph Mallord William.
if i left anyone out let me know! :)
Hope your having a Magical day!
Thanks again for all the Formspring questions.
Shoot been keeping me busy!
think i've answered 200 questions this week. haha

When the Zeppelin Calls - Inspiration Friday

Happy Inspiration Friday my friends! :)
How was your day?
My was great.
So i'm not sure if you all have noticed the 1400-1800 influence in the Inspiration Friday's over the last few weeks.
I've never taken any Art History classes,
and i really don't know about other artists.
So i've been researching and discovering older painters, and loving every minute of it!.
I've always been obsessed with Zeppelins
so i thought a journey on a Zeppelin would be a theme for this Inspiration Friday.

The Inspiration Friday images are Steven Meisel, El Greco, Hans Holbein the Younger, and a few others that i don't know where they are from.

The Ladies of Meisel

Hello, my friends. How did your day go???
Mine flew by so fast.
Since you all had so many nice words about the Character Sketchbook....
I thought i'd post an image from Volume 3 of the Character Sketchbook,
(which is the Volume i am currently working on).
This picture is from a photoshoot of one of my favorite photographers, Steven Meisel.
I thought i would censore the painting cause i wouldn't want anyone to be offended :)
But if you want to see the original version of the picture Click Here.
I hope you like it!

So i was sitting looking at some fashion collections from a few years ago,
which makes me have a few questions for you...
1: What year in the 2000's do you think had the best Fashion Collections?
2: What year in the 2000's do you think had the best editorials?
3: What year in the 2000's do you think had the best models?

I got my answers... Excited to hear your thoughts! :)

Volume 3 ? ? ?

Well, yesterday my cousin was hanging out in my studio working on a self-portrait for her art class.
i was just sitting there going over my projects and i made a big decision...
and my friends, I'm happy to say i have started on VOLUME 3!! of the character sketchbook.
i wasn't sure if i was going to do another volume, but i started it and it just started flowing again!
i'm excited. i hope you like it!
