rough sketch 

i still haven't saved up enough money to invest in a really good set of acrylic colors. i used poster colors instead (if my art teacher is reading this right now, i apologize please don't kill me). p.s. i forgot how to blend "acrylic" paint forgive me i'm a sinner (high school studio art is so restricting, it's should be called studio crafts)

(THIS IS OVEREXPOSED i apologize again)

After lunch with my cousin and my sister at one of my favorite coffee shops, I planned on going home to workout (swimming, jogging, cardio, etc etc.). But the bad weather was a huge turnoff, so I decided to paint. Friday afternoon was the most productive day of my summer yet.

[Q]uote

WHAT DO YOU THINK AN ARTIST IS? AN IMBECILE WHO ONLY HAS EYES, IF HE IS A PAINTER, OR EARS IF HE IS A MUSICIAN, OR A LYRE IN EVERY CHAMBER OF HIS HEART IF HE IS A POET, OR EVEN, IF HE IS A BOXER, JUST HIS MUSCLES? FAR FROM IT: AT THE SAME TIME HE IS ALSO A POLITICAL BEING, CONSTANTLY AWARE OF THE HEARTBREAKING, PASSIONATE, OR DELIGHTFUL THINGS THAT HAPPEN IN THE WORLD, SHAPING HIMSELF COMPLETELY IN THEIR IMAGE. HOW COULD IT BE POSSIBLE TO FEEL NO INTEREST IN OTHER PEOPLE, AND WITH A COOL INDIFFERENCE TO DETACH YOURSELF FROM THE VERY LIFE WHICH THEY BRING TO YOU SO ABUNDANTLY? NO, PAINTING IS NOT DONE TO DECORATE APARTMENTS. IT IS AN INSTRUMENT OF WAR.

While I was wandering in the wild wild world of the internet, I came across this photo.
This is a such a smart idea for designers.
This has definitely widened my eyesight for inspiration.
The two things that interest me the most- collide. Simply amazing.
I absolutely love how the patterns on the canvas transformed onto these beautiful dresses.

Donatella Versace once said that fashion isn't simply just art. Well, go figure. Because they are literally wearing art!
