Life Drawing !!!

These are some of the recent drawings that I have produced in the life drawing classes in collage.

Kelly Smith ... Fashion Illustartor !

Kelly Smith is an Australian Illustrator, working predominantly in fashion and portraiture.
Kelly graduated in 2006 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from The Tasmanian School of Art.
Her work has also appeared in the likes of Cleo, Arise, Company, Curvy, Russh, Vogue Australia, Monster Children, Shop 'Til You Drop, Cream and Pulp.
Taking inspiration from fashion, film and fairytales, Kelly's fine detailed pencil work captures a likeness to her subjects, traditionally created on one layer, while watercolour and digital elements add subtle hints of colour and softness. I love the pencil work and the detail that kelly puts in to her work. Her peices are really soft and I also like the use of what little colour she uses in parts of her work.

Stina Persson... Fashion Illustrator !

Stina Persson has lived, studied and worked in Tokyo, New York, Florence and Lund, Sweden, where she was born. She says her illustration style is basically about “finding the right balance between the edgy and the elegant the raw and the beautiful.” To achieve this, she uses ink, watercolor and gouache, as well as Mexican cut paper (used at ceremonies and festivals).I like Stina's work because it is very different and her work realy inspires me because it is so colourful and i like the way she uses watercolour effects throughout her work.

Modern Masters Sketchbook Work ...

This is some of my sketchbok work for my Modern Masters Project.

This is one of my sample peices for one of my designs.

   These are some of my designs for my Modern Masters Project.

       This is my final design for my Modern Masters Project.

This design will be made out of Organsa to make a floaty feminine dress, with cream, pink and purple hand felted peices and a belt with embroydery and lots of other detail. 

Photoshoot Of My Garments !

These are some of the garments that I have created and then put in my photoshoot and then I photoshoped them.

Real Or Not ??

The Cottingley Fairies appear in a series of five photographs taken by Elsie Wright and Frances Griffiths, two young cousins who lived in Cottingley, near Bradford in England. In 1917, when the first two photographs were taken, Elsie was 16 years old and Frances was 10. Public reaction was mixed; some accepted that the images were genuine, but others believed they had been faked. In the early 1980s, both girls admitted that the photographs were faked using cardboard cutouts of fairies copied from a popular children's book of the time. Yet Frances continued to claim that the fifth and final photograph was genuine.
So do u believe fairies are real ? I'm not quite sure but i would like to think that they are :)

Modern Masterpeices Project !!!

For this Modern Masterpeices Project I have been asked as a junior fashion stylist and designer to produce a photo shoot for my new collection based around ''Art Masterpeices''. I have chosen to do something based around the theme of victorian fairy paintings.I have chosen the photo 'midsommers eve' as my inspiration and for the photo shoot I will have to modernise the picture I have chosen to create the modern twist.I will have to create 2 A2 moodboards, a sketchbook/ journal, the photo shoot of my garment and modernised scene, a 10 minute powerpoint presentation and an editorial piece about my blog. Im really looking forward to this project because I feel it is very different from any project that I have done so far and I get the oppurtunity to do a photo shoot of my garment.
