Nude & Carefree



Ryan McGinley & Juergen Teller being one of my most favorite photographers at the moment. Both with a different distinctive style of capturing their pictures. Ryan with his sense of freedom in photos, care free and nude while Juergen has a sense of quirkiness to his pictures dealing with a more well known group of people. To me there's just no bold seriousness, its gives me that pleasant relaxed feeling.

Happily ever after?

This haunting surreal set of genius photography by Dina Goldstein.
The '...happily ever after' is replaced with a realistic outcome and addresses current issues. Wonderful indeed.

The boys wanna be her!

Quivering in the presence of Leonor



Leonor Scherrer is just one of those women who will basically make my head turn during a conversation with someone else. Time itself will take a moment in bask in her presence, she reminds me of a lecturer I spoke to during one of my university interviews. Leonor's shaved sides & wavy slicked back hair just gives me that nostalgic feeling. I love the intensity in her eyes and the way she potrays herself in photos. One things for sure, I wouldn't be able to breath if she ever came to see any of my collections.

(Riccardo Tisci & Leonor Scherrer)

Tisci's muse Mariacarla Boscono is the only model carrying over — joining her are Ranya Mordanova; Leonor Scherrer, daughter of retired couturier Jean-Louis Scherrer, who Tisci says he's "completely in love with . . . she represents France in all senses: the elegance, the aristocracy, the darkness of France"

Back to basics


Lately I've been quite slack with drawing, I don't know why but I have a lot of time on my hands at the moment since it's the holidays and of course semester two starts in 2 weeks. It all depends on whether I want to keep on studying or find a job. Anyways here are two drawings I finished yesterday and today. I'm not 100% confident with drawing especially adding shading & stuff which can get quite tedious. I think I'll do a drawing each day.
