Goblin King Does Gucci Cruise 2019
Hello, Sarah. It's hard to believe "Labyrinth" came out 32 years ago. It's one of my favorite films since I first saw it as a child and recently I rediscovered how fantastic it is, with such brilliant music, acting and puppetry, through the eyes of my daughter. But I...
Safety Pins Make an Unexpected Comeback
I can't help but marvel at the irony that safety pins, a punk rock fashion staple, have become a mainstream trend. Granted, this time it's about making a political statement rather than a fashion one but it's still one you're wearing. And the irony is in the fact that...
Rest in Passion
Dearly beloved, like many others I am mourning the loss of the iconic talent known as Prince. Despite being a heterosexual male his flamboyant style made him a gender bender offender and this rock fashion Royal wasn't apologetic about that in the slightest. I've...
The Twelve Dancing Princesses (in Chanel Couture 2016 S/S)
Happy spring, everyone and with that, a fairytale themed illustration for an open call for illustrators using the Chanel couture line spring/summer 2016 as inspiration organized by Marcus Kan of Draw a Dot. I also used the German fairytale The Twelve Dancing...
Lace, Floral Dresses at Self-Portrait at NYFW Fall 2016
Happy almost spring. I'd been meaning to do some New York Fashion Week illos since, well, Fashion Week, and had started a few. Finally finished one though and here it is, inspired by the beautiful lace dresses seen at Self-Portrait (designed by Han Chung) for Fall...
Celebrating Love with The Gay Beards
I realize I am probably one of the last people on the planet to do this but I recently joined Instagram. Well technically I joined over the summer but I didn't pay any attention to my account until recently. I just felt like there was only so much social media I had...
Farewell to the Black Star, David Bowie
Like so many others, I was shocked to hear about the death of David Bowie. A brilliant artist and showman suddenly gone, not to mention another innocent person lost too soon to the modern plague of cancer. Since the news broke the beginning of last week, I've...
A Ladies’ Poker Parlor, inspired by Marc Jacobs NYFW Fall 2015
Happy December everyone, and welcome to my ladies’ poker parlor. Come in, won’t you? Wait — what’s that you say? You think the deck might be stacked against you when it’s clear the woman in the forefront of the room has four Kings and an Ace? And the king is in fact,...
Over the Moon with Alexander McQueen NYFW Resort S/S 2016
Happy Friday and here's my latest illustration, inspired by an Alexander McQueen gown shown at New York Fashion Week for the Spring/Summer 2016 Resort collection. I don't think I've ever been disappointed by a line by this design house, and this time around I was...
S/He Creatures: Maison Margiela at NYFW S/S 2016
Happy November, everyone. It's been too long since my last post and even longer since New York Fashion Week, but I finally got around to illustrating the looks from one of the shows, by Maison Margiela, which I'd been meaning to do for a while. I really enjoyed the...
Painting with Coffee (Portrait of Liz Morrow of Delightfully Tacky)
For the past couple of weeks I've been thinking of little else but painting with coffee. It just seemed like such a fun medium that, if used to create realistic looking art, mimics the look of an old-timey sepia photo. (I want to thank DC in Style for the idea — head...
