from the sketchbook

bleu dame

so i work at a boutique in canton, as well as with the magazine. and this week i've finished up my first big display project. i do merchandising and display coordination here and i love it. it's such a perfect little company and store.

(it's primarily an online store, so if you'd like to check it out just click HERE!)

this is the window from the backside. i couldn't get a good shot from the outside because it was just too sunny today.

my first wave of goodies in their temporary home.

i made these little gems out of recycled plastic bottles. lots of cutting and then painting. well worth the outcome! the neighbors at Key's Jewelry brought over a bunch of their bottles, i made them a nice little handmade card for their help!

i found this tonight on my amateur illustrator account. i had almost forgotten about it, but i really love it. it's one of, if not THE first illustrations i did for a major class in college. it could use some work, but i love it for what it is. i hope i can find the time to do more traditional things. school is really getting at me this quarter.

earlier this week i had the pleasure of meeting two fabulous artists, alex pardee & dave correia. they were doing a cross country search for inspiration. give a sketch get a sketch. it was such a great experience, and i was able to interview them for a school project. (i sound like a giggling moron, its the nerves, sorry about that)

P.S. THEY ARE ARTISTS, OUR LANGUAGE IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR ALL AGES, FAIR WARNING.

i'll add the sketches they did later on. been incredibly busy lately. and i'll only get busier.
