final

the kooks, seaside

my final project for photography was a stop motion video.

this is one of my most favorite songs,

even after hearing it over and over and over and over.

i loved making this project

marchesa

so elegant, so young

i love the feathers, jewels and gauze theyve been using:

their full length fall 09 version

and for spring '10.

the textures look so rich without looking overdone.

and i cant resist this prima-ballerina meets architectural kimono.

i love that this can seem sweet but doesnt lose any sophistication

the new hbo series bored to death promises decent entertainment

jason schwartzman and ted danson. holler

and the typographic intro doesnt hurt either

laid out

these are proofs for my first layout project

the assignment asked me to

arrange beatles songs into album covers

ath

onehundredthousand

marilyn has style

vintage decorations. my grandma papered and decorated this house in the 70s

and i still love it

wink

luna

this luna moth hung out on my porch two nights in a row

never seen a moth so beautiful

NYC

i had a most amazing trip to new york last week

i love the unmatched vitality of that city

the standard hotel

view from the highline, meat packing district

which i strongly recommend

mercer st

artichoke's pizza, west village

slam-packed for a reason

view of downtown from the apartment in chelsea

special thank yous to 3 lovely gentlemen 

jonathan, matthew & of course ethan

light spectrum

everyone who.

           knows me. 

         knows i.

                   love.

                  colors.

today it rained crazy hard, but it was still sunny

then it stopped and there was a complete rainbow

i love weather patterns

pretty

i love the wearability of bcbg max azria--

the soft femininity and etherial drapery of his spring/summer 09 

collection is so beautiful. and i love the chunky heels & natural glowing makeup

home

I believe in the sand beneath my toes
The beach gives a feeling
An earthy feeling
I believe in the faith that grows

third eye blind

japonisme.

i've been reading a history of graphic design textbook for the last week or so, with the hope that it will help me with my classes next fall. and ive been eating it up.

some of my favorite pieces are inspired by japanese prints, and tend to have large, even fields of color, black outlines, and stylized figures. 

ludwig hohlwein, hermenn scherrer, 1911

i love this english-riding, burberry-esque menswear ad. beautiful palette

edward penfield, ride a stearns & be content, 1896

a perfect balance modern elegance and obvious utility--so prim and proper

this reminds me of my grandmother

carleen, brookside zoo

i love the power and dynamism behind this image. 

and despite an eclectic mix of typefaces, the text stabilizes the composition

reminiscent

here and there. home on the left, the old lamar dodd school of art (forever missed) on right

charcoal

old painting from 07

tempra on bristol board

"illuminate the darkness" zion lions, close to my heart
