Illustrator hurts my eyes!

work in progress..my first fashion illustration! exciting huh. Im still not 100% sure about it, I think ive given him pretty feminine legs, may change that. Finished piece will follow, but seeing as i've been working on it ALL day, I feel it deserves a post.

spent nearly 6 hours on illustrator today and hardly anything to show for it! but soon there will be. I did however get my cv done so am one step closer to a placement next year (many more steps to go however)

Ive just been shown this little gem, all stop motion, beautiful

Snow place like home

..and there's always a place for a good old 'snow' joke.

Looking lovely here in Leeds, made the best roast yet for my housemates birthday, had a really cosy day!

Working on designs tomorrow, deadlines are looming..

Some snaps from the other night (with a few sneaky adjusments)

 

The Loved Ones official trailer

Cosy snow day

A crisp layer of snow outside, sofa, duvet..lovely. Watching "Leon"..

 

..a young Natalie Portman taken under the wing of illusive french hitman after her entire family are brutally murdered. Very intense film, emotional, really impressed by young Portman, although watchhing her, 13, flirting with a man of 40(ish) is slightly weird.

Plan to watch this later.. missed out on it at the recent Film Festival here in Leeds. Looks pretty gripping, might need a pillow at the ready to hind behind..

super cool hand stands

not much time to post today as I sit watching people do hand stands in our front room...

just a photo i took of my hooded housemates

Playing with ducks...

Print for my old english country gentleman/contmeporary sportswear trend, with a big tartan theme going on. Ill post my designs when theyre finished..

This afternoon we had an interesting and very entertaining lecture from legendary fashion writer Colin McDowell. He gave us an insight into the world of fashion journalism and from what i gathered, it is based around fancy dinners 'in a very posh restaurant' in London and regular flights to destinations all across the globe, not forgetting the hard work entailed and the 'being in the right place at the right time' opportunites.

"Infact I'm having dinner with Prada tomorrow evening" - seems like an ideal career to me!

"Don't knock it till you've tried it; and then try it twice"

one.

 I am currently a second year student studying Fashion Design at the University of Leeds, specialising in Menswear.I intend to share with you my work, ideas and inspiration in Fashion and everything I do.

So im pretty new to this......first post should surely be in honour of my chosen background image and focus point of my recent projects; Comme des Garcons.

I love the tartan prints, vivid colours and sense of fun and curiosity conveyed by the brand.
