band of outsiders

The clothing brand Band of Outsiders has two new spokesmodels for their Fall campaign and just take a gander at who they are?! 

P.S. (They're in the pictures)

It's Rupert Grint and Tom Felton -- both of which I love and worship (like Dieties...oh yeah I went there)! The upscale hipster style clothing runs pretty expensive, but I've gotta admit, I'm totally digging the aesthetic going on here: Polaroid pictures, muted colors, cute boys, the outdoors, lute boys, libraries... 

unleash your inner giraffe

The idea came to me one night in a dream -- what if a girl had giraffe horns (is that how what they call it?) and liked to dress in animal print leotards? A whole lot of fun, that's what.

But on the real, it was just something I though of while I was trying not to fall asleep at work yesterday. 

from the sketchbook

 So these are pics from the sketchbook, because I've realized that my scanner isn't exactly the latest or most up-to-date in printer technologies, or whatever. (i.e. it's really old).

She didn't take too long to sketch, just about an hourish but I'm still pretty excited about it. I might go back later and do something different to her hair.

 And I have absolutely no idea who the model is, but major kudos to her for lending me her face -- without her permission.

call of the wild

I like drawing cute animals. And, I think I might just keep doing it. Don't try to stop me!

haha! you can't catch me alive, coppers!

That's definitely from a movie. It's not something I would normally say. Just putting that out there.

things i need

Today, as I sat down on my newly-appointed desk (no longer the intern hiding in the cubbyhole -- YES!) I found the best store ever. I fully understand that there is a lot of weight in those words and I accept total responsibility for anyone who may be completely let down. But you wont. Or if you are, what's wrong with you?! Just kidding. Not really.

Apparently, stripes are my thing right now.

If I had really blonde hair (which I don't) and full on creative control of what was acceptable for hair at work (which, again, I don't) I would so do this to my hair. I mean, it looks pretty awesome.

So to end this, and before my pizza gets cold, here's some encouraging words: get your pastel on, people.

If you're planning on going forth with this new venture (business talk) then you've got to read this tutorial, right here.

voila, c'est macarons!

Oh why, oh why are macaroons so addicting! Or maybe I'm just a weakling with an even weaker sense of self-control. I've never found the time because i'm lazy to make these little babies, but one day, somehow, in the distant future, I'll do it! I reallyreally will. Luckily, my time (lazy bones) impediment doesn't stop me from drawing them. Yum! Just don't be tempted to taste the screen. Trust me. Don't ask.

vous pouvez trouver mon cœur à Paris

Bonjour mes amis! Now, I wish I could continue this in French, but sadly those four years of language in high school didn't leave as much of an impact on me as I would've liked. But I digress, this is what I've been working on for a few days now but just haven't found the time to color! Hopefully, I'll be doing it this weekend.

inspired by:

When I saw this picture, I couldn't help but sing (yes, out loud) Florence + The Machine's 'Howl'. If you haven't heard it, go, go! Unleash your inner wolf! Actually, I take that back. Don't unleash anything -- it could get disruptive -- just listen (a little swaying is acceptable).

Photo credits are unknown. Both found on Tumblr.

sweet treats

Made this for my lovely little friend, Desi, over the weekend!

happy monday

Back from vacation and now back to reality - hence an ode to my very special friend: coffee! Though I use 

the term 'ode' very loosely because I'm not entirely sure I can dedicate a poem to it.

still left wanting more?

saturdays are for quoting

Well said, Jane. Well said.

hair

This is what happens after being on Tumblr for too long.

let's get down to business

Business card idea - cooo!
