Inspiration #2

This is my second inspiration... (well duh!)...

My Inspiration...

This is my inspiration...(it gets my blood a boilin for jewelry lol)

New Title... Im so freakin excited! lol

Yesterday I had a slight breakthrough.... My business mind is now set and I am thinking of accomplishing all that I want to do...little by little, taking it one day at a time... My next goal is to design my own costume jewelry line. I came to this conclusion because EVERY (and I do mean every) -time I go in a store, I head straight for the jewelry and look for pieces that pop out to me, I look at them and wonder about what outfits I could wear with them. Its like a weird habit of mine, that I just noticed that I do EVERYtime...lol. Sometimes I find really cool pieces other times I don't. So why not sketch out my own jewelry....my dream jewelry line. So mark my work, my mission #1 starts today.....(Im so freakin excited! lol)

Hair Stylist/ Stylist=Me

I was also stylist... (but you knew that already, right?...lol)

My New Venture...

I have been able to do a lot of things, but this are my first official photos of my new venture I experimented with.... being HAIR STYLIST...wow...lol. And let me tell you, this model had the longest, most gorgeous, most difficult hair I ever done in my life! And she's such a sweet heart (love ya D!) Photographer: Dru Phillips; MUA: Nnebuchi N.

One Day....

I have sooo many ideas and goals I want to accomplish that its getting overwhelming. So I try to take one day at a time... All I can do is do my best and take it one day at a time. Ive been told that I have done so much in my life to only be 23, but I want to keep that momentum going. Of course its my dream to own my own clothing and jewelry line, but I want to take my time and do it right so I wont regret the outcome if I move too fast. So Ill say...One day Ill have my own empire...One day Ill be on top.....One day Ill be known to do great things...One day ppl will recognize me as an artist.....One day

Hello all! Thanks for following...Im new to this so invite your friends if you want! Today has been a chilled day, running errands and whatnot.

What Would It Be?

This is a sketch I did...when Im illustrating dresses, I usually go with the idea of 'if you could design and wear any style dress, what would it be? It works for me....

More to come...

Illustrations #2: Inspiration: The Circus...

Sorry...Forgive me...

I know I just got side-tracked and posted a pic of my collection but I just got so excited to show you these illustration....Forgive me, I tend to be all over the place... :-) Ill go back to that later...

Illustrations!!!!

Hey I found some illustrations Ive done... Since Im an artist, I can draw/sketch/illustrate in soooo many ways! Despite what some ppl may think (...not naming any1...its all love around these parts) I do have skills and can draw just about whatever. Anywho here are some of my illustrations... This particular one is inspired by Naja Conrad-Hansen.

Whew!
Today was a little on edge...I seen to work great under pressure which I think is good...sometimes. Anywho, sketches for client #2 were completed, colored and sent earlier this evening and other illustrations were sent for a possible job offer...but Ill update with that later.

As I sent my sketches for this opportunity, I was thinking about that last job offer that was so exciting but the owner/designer felt I was too fashion forward for the job. Sometimes things happen for a reason. I was bummed that I didn't get the job when all along I had a feeling that I would. But when I didnt, it was like a real let down. Then to know that I was too qualified to do contour sketches and flats...I wasn't sure if it felt like a compliment at the time. But it was... Ya know things happen for a reason and at this point in my career/life I feel that what it meant for me as a designer/artist will happen and will be great and better than I ever imagined....one day....

My first collection....my inspiration came from watching 'Memoirs of a Geisha' beautiful movie......

These days have been crazy....upon doing sketches for clients, upcoming shoots, and looking for my career spot in fashion, I still try to find time for a social life and keeping in touch with friends
