Fall Line Up For Next Summer

But it's practically September and still super warm, so there's really no reason to stop wearing sundresses.

Especially with the Hats

Just some sketches from my favorite decade, fashion-wise.  Why can't we still dress this way, ladies?  No excuses!  

Antiseptic Plus Lots of Soap

Been straddling the picture/word fence for a while, but I am, for the time being, firmly planted on the illustration side of things.  And more more more drawing means my pencil-wedged middle finger side-callous is growing more callousy; means I can now officially tear through band-aid boxes and reams of paper faster than a preschooler.  Waterproof tough strips are best.  

I Had to Unschool the Schooling to Properly School it

Fledgling rukh meets cathedral window meets PETA. 

Gloves for the Feet

 

Any excuse to draw stripy hand socks. 

It Is All Done With Minimal Atmosphere

 I did most of these on the plane from Milwaukee to Philly with people trying to talk through my earphones. Yes, you are very nice and your voice is way higher than expected and I know we were on the same plane on the way out and isn't that funny, but look look look, this is my special doodle place and it is flying!

Incongruing Pains

 

 Some fashiony-type ideas from the bigge moleskine. 

It Is All Very Symbolic

 

No Ryan Lee, the boas are not octopus tentacles.  I have already done the tentacles, they are old and soiled and done for and these are all new, new new things. 

Two of these were fairly fast but the third one took forever because she was wearing patterns from like three different continents and six different time periods and I really wanted to combine them into a rad devo devastator; they clashed hard and burned six pieces of watercolor paper before I threw in the paper towel.

Oh the fritters of detail.

The Fashion, with Props

 

I really want to be interested in fashion, but I can't.  It's too normal.   Needs more mollusks.
