This is a sketch for my Carnival theme which will eventually be a watercolour.  I think the pencil turned out rather nice though  so I will probably be developing it into prints and/or cards.

Pencil and White Card Paper 14x17 inches. The dress is a couture Christian Lacroix.

Been working steadily on some new ideas as well as getting some more cards printed. Thank you to Hansel for all your help calibrating the colours.  You are the best!  Later this week we are off on holidays to explore the coast of England and the following week to Geneva, Switzerland so blog posts may be slow.  However, just wanted to post one of my newest sketches which will be a part of my carnival theme. She is wearing a Basso and Brooke dress ^_^

And a closeup of her face.

Eventually I will be painting this sketch in watercolour.

Posting another watercolour from my kimono photo shoot I did awhile ago now.

Model: Dana

Media: Ink, pencil and watercolour on watercolour paper

Another Circus-esque painting. This one was inpired by the Galliano's Fall 2009 collection. Presently, I am trying to proof images for print which has proven to be taking more time then I originally thought.  I did open my Etsy shop this week though and I am hoping in the next couple of weeks to have a selection of high quality prints. I also will be developing a line of art pillows and a few other small items. Check back soon.

This is Winter in my series of season girls.

Final Digital image

Hey everyone! I apologise it's been a long time since I last made a post. Between school, various art projects, out of town guests and a trip to Denmark the blog has taken a sad back seat to my other work.  To get back in swing of posting more regularily I will start by sharing a new project.  This will be a collection of 4 girls one for every season Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.  This is Spring and may be produced into a line of jewelry as well as tshirts and art prints. More details will be posted soon.

Final Image

I saw this picture in a magazine awhile ago which showed a beautiful model in a spanish inspired outfit. Sadly, I don't have the magazine anymore and was unable to find the original picture again. Being very inspired at the time though i painted it in acrylic for my art class at fashion school.  It was one of my first completed acrylics so I am still pretty proud of it.

I am revisiting this theme this week with my second painting of this style. Been in bed the last few days with the flu but I am finaly on the mends and will be posting more shortly. This is a Sonia Rykiel outfit from her 40th anniversary runway show. Unfortunately the colour doesnt pick up very well with my cheap scanner so I might be tweaking the image later.

Erte was famed for his theatrical costumes and set designs as well as his beautiful fashion design.  This was an image I created based off one of works.

I am in the process of looking through my old artwork. This was a digital painting I created using Painter IX. It was a commissioned cover for Sara Marreiros Portuguese Fado CD and has been published in several local and international magazines. Sara is a very talented singer her music is worth checking out at http://www.members.shaw.ca/lmarreiros/.

Here is the finished watercolour painting of the clown. I just got a new black pen so have been experimenting with various sketch techniques. I quite like the results ^_^

and the closeups...

Here are some sketches I have made in the last couple of days. I have been experimenting with varoius styles lately.  The first one is an image inspired by Sunao Kuwahara carnival themed collection. The horse is from my head, it has been a long long time since I have drawn horses but it used to be all I drew back when I was a child. The second is another sketch of Nicole.

Here is another project of mine from the geisha photoshoot.  Collage on canvas.

I had the wonderful opportunity lately to photograph two models wearing antique kimonos borrowed from my mom as well as a family friend. The results were very beautiful and I have been inspired to practice my photoshop manipulating skills as well as producing paintings of the images.  This is a photoshop copulation/digital painting of Nicole.

I have been a bit lazy at posting my own artwork but I am finally getting around to it. This was a quick acrylic painting of my favorite storybook character Alice. The canvas is 8x8``.  I had a bit of difficulty getting the accuracy right in the face using this media, in such a small space, so I think I will attempt again with watercolours.
