melancholia

you know how it goes.
the world doesn't feel like something you belong in.

what i wore

i think i'm going to adopt the method of drawing in my diaries instead of writing in them.

vixen

i might do a series of these saucy girls.
mainly because i keep daydreaming about the bettie page film teaserama.
too many sequins and seamed stockings and sky high shoes.

RISOGRAPHICA! group show by Jacky Winter artists.

Jacky Winter, the beautiful illustration agency that has taken me under its wing, is putting on a RISO print show to start the new year. I'm absolutely over the moon to be in a show with artists of this caliber. Being my first experience with RISO printing, i'm so keen to see the results. Miss engaged, (above) will be transformed by the RISO technique which adopts various screenprinting, photocopying, and offset lithography technologies to create a distinctive image.


so attend the show or stayed tuned to my blog if you live on the other side of the world. the RISO image will be revealed soon!

girls, girls, girls.

after a long vacation (both pysical and imagined) ive started to paint again.
leaving alone the constraints of soaking and stretching expensive paper, i'm just scribbling away, quite furiously, in my cream paged sketchbook. i cannot stand to be so fussy and fastidious at the moment, so this change is very welcome. i'm falling back in love with being carefree.


coquette
a shiny girl who just wants all of your attention. (and i want her clothes!)
perhaps she sells cigarettes in the cinema.




an eye for an eye
those who dabble in black magic must pay the sacrifice sooner or later.





sunbeam
descended from a long line of monobrowed people.
my revolting lolita, my lovely honeypie.
(thats supposed to be a sunhat, not a religious arc...) 




what i wore
for the flickr pool of the same title.
always a helpful subject to get my languishing hands back into action.




married
my obsession with marriage, house and baby carriage dont look like they are going to vanish anytime soon.

sorry to dissapear, but i was abducted by aliens.
(well, abducted into the land of the x-files, with mulder and scully by my side.)
hooray for a new year and a blank slate that will hopefully be filled up with all sorts of gorgeous things.
i havent been doing alot of painting as of late. vacation and tekken battles and 1940's movies and parties and spying out of windows have stolen all my time.
for now, lets rewind to the beginning of last year, and say hello to some girls who have been silent for a while.
