super secret project is coming together

work in progress... finished

not exactly 'every day wear' but it makes me smile so i did a little photoshoot.

top

i found some leftover fabric i liked and made a top out of it. it's mostly improvised and took me about two hours to finish.

one million giraffes

this is a giraffe i drew for a guy who tries to get one million hand-drawn giraffes by 2011. here's the website: http://www.olahelland.net/giraffes/

if someone who reads this decides to draw him one too, leave a link in the comment!

work in progress

...

the libertine

a series of quick drawings i did with this song stuck in my head:



i might make a few more when i feel like it.

birthday book

today is my younger brother's 18th birthday, and since i'm in a serious lack of time and money, i made him a small book. it's just a bunch of nonsense about animals (he wants to study biology next year) bu that's what we always do.. ha gave me balloons and serpentines for my birthday (which i effectively used before and after the andrew bird concert)

a brush with velvet

yesterday i found a link to a download of dent may's debut ep 'a brush with velvet'. i put it on a cd and made a new cover for it:


the download can be found here.

painting

so yesterday i had some time left and decided to take out my paint again. this here is a sketch for a large painting i should be doing after my exams, it's for my aunt's appartment at the seaside:


i'll probably add more color, thinking about some red accents here and there, and some more different colors in the water and sky.

the song that got me in the right mood for these two pictures was this one:


'for emma' by bon iver

after this, i had some paint left, so i decided to do a quick portrait of my grandmother, using an old picture of her:


it doesn't look too much like her but i like it anyway.
