the valley

bonjour a tous!

i hope everyone is having a non-terrible week. it's so windy here i think i see a yellow brick road in my future. i decided to give you guys a mini break from the usual posts to show you one of my new sketches. in addition to hair, i also love masks! i noticed they show up a lot in my art. i HAVE been sketching like crazy all year, but i didn't have access to a scanner until today. i have a few sketches { and new paintings } i REALLY want to show you guys!!

fyi: i did not spill coffee on the sketch. as you can see HERE, all my watercolors are stained with tea before i begin. hope you like it guys.

and dont forget to vote for my h&m t-shirt HERE. { 2 secs at the most i promise }. thanks!!

also thanks so so much for all your lovely comments. they really make my day.

chérie

hi my loves! ive gotten a few e-mails asking me about the image i use for my header. it's a little piece of an illustration i did just a few months ago. it's def one of my favs. im posting the whole thing here for you guys...i know it's tres risque with the boob-age.

as you read this i am on my way to PARIS! and im so very excited because its one of the most magical places ive been. i most likely will not be blogging { the horror! the agony! } but i will try to eat lots of baguettes and macaroons, buy WAY too many clothes, and take lots of pretty pictures of....you know...french stuff to share when i return.

au revoir et a bientôt

bisous!

careless

this hair.....took FOREVER. { but let's be honest. big hair is worth it right?}

you start out thinking man, this huge hair is gonna be so awesome. 30 minutes and 400 pencil strokes later you feel like crying onto your sketch pad.

still love it though.

the birds { aka...i think im slowly dying }

bonne matin beautiful people!

it's such a beautiful day outside today and i finally get the feeling we've won the battle and captured spring. ok....im not technically dying, but i AM sick. i can't even enjoy the day because im sickly { insert coughs here } i've spent the day drinking copious amounts of water, sneezing and sketching. don't have an outfit today so leaving you with one of my illustrations instead.

be back tomorrow along with another beautiful day!

p.s- yes...sorry for the dramatic post title...im a bit of a drama queen

ojos asi

im a sucker for big eyes and big hair { as very evidenced by almost all of my art }. i did this sketch a little bit ago and forgot about it until last night. most of my paintings are very very detailed and coorful and more and more i find myself leaning toward a minimal approach in my sketches....letting few few lines narrate the story....though that could be laziness too i guess...

what do you guys think?

the feeling of desire

a quick sketch i finally scanned into my computer while at my sisters. i really should buy a scanner...but that's also like a pair of shoes....what's a girl to do?
