Day 3: Freedom

I had no idea what to draw today.. oh god! that's bad it's just the third day in! eventually an hour ago whilst listening to the marvel that is Klaus Nomi, I was just thinking how amazing he would be to see performing live if only he was alive, and I was reading an old interview with him from 1980 and he told the reporter that he approaches everything as an alien, it's what allowed him to get away with many things. It just made me think of how free he was as a person and how free I would like to be. The tiny amount of insperation i had gathered today was from Antonio Lopez who is a fashion illustrator and his work is very good, he uses very phsycodelic colours and amazing silouettes which gave me the idea for a curvy nude woman, because in my opinion a womans body is one of the best pieces of art ever made, it has inspired so many things throughout history.

I really, really, really, really want to go to a house party and meet lots of new people and just have a good time and dance the night away! I really hate how much money restricts you as a person, its not a nice thing at all. -BL

Day Two: Nu-Goth Fashion Illustration

I was up until 2 AM this morning designing lots of things and doing some sketches, this is my favourite one. The focus was to be on the garment, so i do apologize for the disproportionate face. Also I stupidly drew the face too high up. The idea i got for the head piece well it originally started off as a pair of lips which then turned into some sort of neck brace, then i decided to make some sort of hood from it and earlier on I was watching the music video for The Nobodies (by Marilyn Manson) and in a scene he has theese long spindly branch-like fingers and i thought it would be a good idea to extend the head into theese branches to show a tree slowly dying, with bare twisted branches. to get this rough and ready effect i thought it would be a great idea to stick to something simple like a biro to give them rough, edgy lines. I added a little raven like bird onto the "Model's" shoulder too show a darker side because black birds are often a omen that something bad is going to happen, thats if your superstitious of course.

On a kind of unrelated note I would just like to say how much I'm loving Klaus Nomi at the moment, he's really inspiring me at the moment, too bad he's still not around, he was amazing. check out some of his songs on youtube, here's the link too one of my favourite: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNahvGXVWl0&feature=related

SMILES & DESTINY

I'm so god damn happy!
Yoko Ono answered my question that i sent her out of the like 100 she had she picked mine!

burtlewi
I’m 18 years of age and im discovering myself, i have so many options and so many passions i don’t know what to do. I’m going through a period of change and i was wondering if you had any advice on how i get through this?
You get through it regardless. It’s probably not up to you, but your destiny. Try to become 19 without adding any trouble you don’t have yet.

Damn twitters character restriction, but i tried to say what i wanted.
she gave me alot of answers even though its only a sentence, the whole destiny thing,
I know what I'm going to do in life, I want to be myself, free and enjoy it! Just so happy
she picked me, I would like to thank her from the bottom of my heart!

What a Great start to 2010,
Oh By the way HAPPY NEW YEAR!
