Lumber Jane!

Tonight on tumblr I found pictures of a customer wearing a suit I worked on at my last job! She's so pretty too! That's always satisfying. I drew the cad, created the print repeat, and colored it, based on a photo of a flannel shirt Target sent us. I then followed up with any adjustments they wanted made and contributed to the instructions sent overseas for production. This suit was called "Lumber Jane". Ah nostalgia... and so cabin-appropriate too! I love it.

Fall/Winter

Sensing the urgency to have cool weather clothes in my portfolio, I'm adjusting my Spring/Summer collection to be a bit more Fall/Winter. Here's a glimpse of the work in progress. I'll tweak them more after fashion week.

I don't personally like this video, but I do like the song:

Rocked out to this all summer too:

It's that time again!

I'm trying to remember how to draw croquis/fashion figures. Last time I worked on my portfolio it was all computer generated. ...Now it's time to add some skills from the 'ol art degree. I'm pretty rusty, but here's the very first one. I'm just pleased I can tell it's a person! (Yes, I see problems.)

This is a bit of an experiment, but I'm coloring digitally....

Portfolio Progress

I'm in NYC for a month to interview for jobs! It's such a crazy different life here. I'm staying with a yoga instructor in Gramercy/Flatiron and the place is really nice, so I have that balance at least, while I adjust. Following a loss of Adobe programs, I am back on my portfolio kick!

Lot's more to do. The only way to not get nervous about interviews is to be overly prepared! I hope they recognize my skill and like my stuff.

A junior surf company requested a work sample today so I sent them this little group:

(I secretly love the ever-tedious job of drawing croquis in Illustrator. It takes me back to my undergrad years as a figure drawing art major!)
