SPRING 2011: PRADA BANANAS/SEA OF SHOES

THIS PIECE PRADA BANANAS WAS ORIGINALLY CREATED FOR AN ART CONTEST ON SEAOFSHOES.COM. I WAS SO INSPIRED BY THE SPRING 2011 PRADA COLLECTION ESPECIALLY THE SKETCHED NATURE OF THE PRINTS. SO I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUNNY TO DRAW A DAMSEL IN DISTRESS. A WOMAN WHO LOVED HER PRADA SO MUCH SHE WOULD RISK WEARING A BANANA PRINT IN THE JUNGLE. I STARTED OUT WITH SOME VINTAGE 40'S COMICS AND PUT THE WHOLE CONCEPT TOGETHER. THE FINAL WINK I ADDED WAS TAKING ONE THE AMAZING COLOR-BLOCKED FOX STOLES AND USING THAT AS THE COLOR STORY FOR MY GORILLA. ENJOY! BELOW I INCLUDED TO RUNWAY SOURCE PHOTOS

SPRING 2011: BALMAIN

THIS POST IS THE FIRST OF A SERIES ON THE SPRING 2011 COLLECTIONS. MANY OF MY UPCOMING ILLUSTRATIONS ARE VERY HIGH CONCEPT BUT FOR THIS ONE I WANTED IN YOUR FACE FASHION. I INCLUDED THE SOURCE PHOTO BELOW. STAYED TUNED FOR MORE........

BIG APPLE EDGE FOR H&M

               H&M'S YOUR ART HERE CONTEST had a NYC theme. So for my entry I wanted to re-conceptualize the "Big Apple". In my mind NYC is a glamourous, tough resilient city able to handle whatever may come. That thought led me to create this apple protected by a hard chic armor. I wanted to also incorporate a few symbolic elements: the texture of the streets, a leaf for humanity and fragility, architecture of the buildings as a framework that holds it all together.  Check out the other entries at www.yourarthere.com
