Love these fashion collages. You can see that patience is really an important part of this art. It’s all about hiding and altering parts of the subject and using manipulation and mixed-median in pure form. Here is a glimpse…

Spanish artist Javier Martin combines neon light with glamorous fashion portraits. LOVE. He is a visual artist whose sensual series entitled Blindness showcases a provocative image of a female depicted by society unable to look beyond the surface of appearance caused by consumption and technology. His series explores the contemporary standards of beauty and iconography. Here is a glimpse…

I absolutely love Portrait Design and I especially love when it’s an iconic figure expressed in a modern and pop fashion. Jordan Andrew Carter is a London-based artist and Illustrator. He explains that he takes a tactile approach to his work with the juxtaposition of intricate hand drawn pencil work against mixed graphic media. His work is so amazing and eye-catching. The colors are so fresh and magnificent. I would hang any of his portraits in my home. Here is a glimpse of his work…
Yves Saint Laurent: The Perfection of Style
Yves Saint Laurent {August 1, 1936 – June 1, 2008}
Tonight was all about YSL fashion. The Seattle Art Museum presents Yves Saint Laurent: The Perfection of Style, showcasing highlights from the legendary designer’s 44-year career. Drawn from the collection of the Fondation Pierre Bergé – Yves Saint Laurent, the exhibition features new acquisitions by the Foundation that have never been shown publicly before. My friend {Maggie} and I had a fashion date and really enjoyed the work of YSL – master couturier and fashion pioneer. The exhibit features over 100 couture pieces. It’s quite spectacular. Here is a glimpse…

Fruity Spring
Oh hello there Spring…
Spring has officially arrived. I’m excited to incorporate more color into my dark wardrobe of black on black. I love spring colors – so soft with the array of fresh pastels. I came across these fruit spring art that I completely adored. For those that know me, I do have globophobia, but these actually don’t bother me. I love them – they are so fruity fresh. Here is a glimpse…

the gallery wall
I’ve been secretly pinning gallery wall inspiration. Lately, I’ve been revamping my apartment and slowly creating a gallery art wall above my bed. Honestly, curating is a little tricky because you are limited with space and images and you have to create a hierarchy in terms of various sizes. What I’m finding is – display what I love and mix it up. When I’m finished, I’ll share my own little art gallery with you. Until then, here is glimpse of some images I pinned to my “art gallery wall” board…

I’m obsessed with the work of graphic designer Nick Barclay. His work is so clean, minimal and brilliant. Love! He did this project called Three Colour Cities. Basically each city was represented by three colors. His New York Print was Yellow for Cabs, Green for the Statue of Liberty and Grey for Skyscrapers. So lovely. Here is a glimpse…
skulls + flowers
The day after Halloween is known as the Day of the Dead or Dia de los Muertos in Spanish. This is a Mexican holiday that celebrates the blurred boundaries between life and death. The tradition is that men, women and children honor their deceased loved ones by participating in a joyous festival. I’m so inspired by the artwork of this tradition. As inspiration, today is all about beautiful skulls + flowers. Here is a glimpse…
