Oh Yea... Did Yawl See McQueen?

First off, i have to say, i was completely touched by all your warm and encouraging comments on the last post!
Seriously, means alot! So thank you, thank you :)
Ok. So, did yawl see the Alexander McQueen Show??
How insane was that!?
In my life, I want to...

A) Attend an Alexander McQueen show
B) Collaborate with him on a project!

Basically, i was blown away by this collection!
So, when picking out which collections to paint for Paris Fashion Week coverage for Sundance Channel,
i had to paint something from this collection.
I really like how it turned out and crazy enough,
a week after i finished this piece, Bryan Boy twitted a link to a picture of a beautiful girl named Camilla Belle.
Oh, and guess which dress she was sporting???
Yep, this one!
It was fun seeing her wearing it.
I hope you like it!

Oh, also, my friends have been trying to get me on Facebook for a while... and i always fought it,
and my friend Ryan has been fighting getting a Twitter account,
and yesterday, he got a twitter account....
So, i broke down today and created a Facebook account.

Red Lips + Valentino Dress

Well, my friends, I'm so so glad you like my new girl!!
Really means alot! ;)
How was your day today?
So, kinda funny story today...
I got the random idea of auditioning for the 4th Twilight movie,
cause i heard they were going on, and i thought it would be a fun experience.
Plus, i've been kicking around the idea of doing a little acting...
Anyways, i found the site to sign up for the audition, filled out all the info, even uploaded a "headshot" (which was hilarious! haha)
and when i finished, it said that auditions ended about 2 weeks ago!! haha
i was like, what! come on! haha! oh well...

So, I picked the painting today in honor of that story,
cause when i was researching the audition, i stumbled on to the "New Moon" Premiere...
and was pleasantly surprised that Dakota Fanning was wearing the incredible black lace Valentino Dress
that i had painted for Sundance Chanel's "Full Frontal Fashion" as part of the Paris Fashion week coverage.
The dress was by far my pick for favorite/Best Dress of this season.
It's just beautiful and eloquent!
I really liked how the painting turned out :)
The render of the dress at that angle was actually pretty hard for me to draw!
It took way longer than i planned.
i hope you like it.

P.S. I posted pictures of my sister's display at the "L.A. CanStruction" in my image Diary. My sister's is the first picture up there. The L.A. CanStruction is a design/build competition of teams of architects, competing to design and build giant structures made entirely from full cans of food, and then all the cans are donated to the local food banks.

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! :)
