sittin' sippin' on your black crystal

Eiko Ishioka

Surrealist costume designer for major Hollywood productions

such as Mirror Mirror (so excited for that film) and Dracula.

As seen on 'www.nowness.com'

FINALLY feeling inspired. I've been completely and totally overwhelmed by the amount of long term projects I've been assigned. I finally feel on fire again, thank god. It's been a while. Ideas on ideas on ideas. This weekend will be a good one. Beauty Bar, Flea Markets, beginning the production of my FIRST EXPERIMENTAL FILM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and of course the Super Bowl. Come Sunday I'll be swimming in cheap beer and football. My Southern football crazed family is so proud that their artsy freak is finally in the Super Bowl spirit <3
stay tuned for updates on my projects!

Lana Del Rey

Born to Die

This video was shown to me by a close friend of mine recently. 

Although I do not know much about Lana Del Rey as an artist I love this video. 

I'll say this with the risk of sounding completely melodramatic but- I normally physically and mentally cannot watch music videos like this for reasons that don't really make sense. My closest friends know

that I will literally leave the room, party or restaurant if certain music comes on.

After watching Rihanna's We Found Love for the first time I just about vomited. 

Too close to home for me and put too simply. But this video- I don't know. It's good.

The best part about it is that the concept for the video was created completely by Lana Del Ray.

Although, she did not direct the video she was a large part of its creation and production. That says

a lot about her as an artist in my opinion. The quality, color and dynamic is just GOOD. 

Although the bed scene is a little much for me....

My favorite line? "You like your girls insane."

Chanel Pre-Fall

It's crit week at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

That means no sleep, pounds of coffee, final collections, intense and emotionally distraught art students, overwhelming amounts of pressure and art 24-7. 

This is what we live for <3

looovveeee
