New Illustrations

I hope everyone is enjoying their Holiday Season. I have had the pleasure of going back to my hometown and just relaxing with the family. After my art show and getting lots of merchandise prepared, I really needed it. I'm really excited that two local shops are now carrying my work. I'm hoping that the online store will come soon as well. For anyone around the Oklahoma City area, check out DNA Galleries in the Plaza District, or Bohemian Spirit Vintage on West Britton Road (I had blogged about this shop before.)

I've really enjoyed a lot of the street fashion shots from RIDSNAP lately. I've noticed a lot of this early 00's look coming back. In Tokyo, it seems that once something is outdated, its cool again. The high platform Converse shoes were inspired by pictures I've seen online, and came into this illustration. I'm also really liking all of the unnaturally dyed hair on kids too. I hope you like these new illustrations. Someone had posted before that they were having trouble with comments. If anyone experiences this, it would be great if you could shoot me an email, and I will try to get it fixed.




*Also to note: I have decided to shut down my other two blogs to the public because I now have a TUMBLR. THIS BLOG will remain, it is the main source for my illustrations. I want a blog with original content though, and I felt like the other blogs were mostly just images, so I want to post them on my tumblr AS I'm inspired and as I go, connecting it all together.

New Art! I'm thinking Green

This is my first computer illustration I have done since I went to Tokyo. It was really crazy going this long without doing this kind of thing. Hopefully you can expect more soon. I have some scans I may want to do as well.

Also..I appreciate all the comments, readers, and responses I have gotten lately. I'm happy to announce this blog now has over 100 followers! Thank you so much.

My inspiration for this illustration was bold textile print, as well as green. Right now I'm really interested in the mixing of bold print with bold print. I guess my illustrations have always been pretty mixed print with mixed print, but after seeing some great kids on the street in Tokyo, I'm really inspired by creating other options and styes uses really bold prints mixed together that still looks really cool and unique.

I also haven't seen a lot of green in awhile, and would like to see it returning. I recently went to a flea market, and found a great old toy from the early 90's. It was a battle troll "Punk Troll" to be exact. Although I had many battle trolls as a kid, I never had this one. He is almost all black and electric green.
This is him.
As I saw a lot of kids in Tokyo AND Seoul rocking the black 1991, 1992 look..I predict that we will start to see more green mixed into fashion, but toned down with black or gray. I hope you like this new illustration! I'm so inspired right now.
