Wouldn't It Be Nice

Some Spring and Summer reminiscent paintings from Marcel Dyf. I wish that I lived in his world!

I'd really like to see this in person some day!

A Real Fish Outta Water

I love these stop motion videos made using Black Apple's  paper dolls. I have always loved paper dolls and try to collect the old books whenever I can spot them. This is a really nice way of putting them to use, and I love the captions and stories that were created around them! 

Birds of North America Spring and Summer 2011

Well, here is a big project that I have been working on for a while. They are illustrations for Birds of North America's Spring/Summer 2011 collection. I was really happy that one of my first big fashion related projects could be for a line that I loved so much. I had such a difficult time selecting just a few pieces to draw and paint, as they are all just so lovely! Birds of North America is run by Hayley Gibson out of Montreal, and the rest of her line as well as past collections are definitely worth checking out. A lot of pieces really bring to mind Dear Creatures with a twist for me, which is always a good thing!

A Half Way Pause

These photos by Yuval Hen for How To Spend it are amazing! Definitely some of the nicest images that I've seen in a while. They feature Ginny Weasley, err, I mean Bonnie Wright, in an ode to the aesthetic movement and Dante Gabriel Rossetti. The photos really capture the style perfectly, having such a soft and painterly look to them. They also make me really want red hair, at least for a moment.  photos from krisatomic

Mr. Blue Sky

This is one of my favorite Springtime songs! The weather has been pretty nice lately. I've been pretty busy with some projects that are keeping me indoors more often than not, but soon I might be able to leave my desk for longer than 10 minutes at a time and enjoy it. Even though I usually rebel against time changes due to stubbornness, its been nice having the light come through my window for so much longer each day.

Fear of Flying

I still haven't seen 'Up', but this replica of the movie's house created for National Geographic is pretty amazing!

Weekend

Levi is always working on his signature gaze.
