6 Things for Thursday




Heyoo. So, I think every so often I'm going to post an entry about a few little Internet discoveries that may/may not have to do with fashion from the former week. I hope you enjoy it!

1. Nasty Gal Clothing
 
I think I'm in love with the Nasty Gal collection this week. Everything from their vintage crop tops to cut-out back dresses make me swoon with their feminine shape and cuts, without being too powdery puff girly. I like my clothes to be a bit more rough and intimidating sometimes. Hence the name Nasty Gal?

Can we all just accept that this is the best website for adolescent girls out there?

volume 1 page 70
( original page here )you can really tell that the first three panels i pretty much redrew exactly like the original.
i’ve never drawn buildings before or those angles, so i had a hard time figuring out how i would draw it my own way.
i loosened up a lot with the last two panels though!!  THEY WERE TONS OF FUN.  especially the fourth.  it’s my favourite line.  i’m gonna try harder to redraw the pages my own way, rather than trying to draw exactly like Matsumoto does.
(Brian Fukushima’s three onionduck boys make a cameo in the last panel!) 


MMKAY SO I DIDN’T WANT TO OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCE THIS UNTIL I ACTUALLY HAD SOMETHING NEW UP BUT!!!!!!!
my newest project is redrawing pages from Taiyo Matsumoto’s TEKKONKINKREET.
it’s my favourite manga/animation/pieceofwork/everythinganythingever and i’m really excited to learn about comics and drawing and STUFF by doing this.
if enough people are interested and want to do the same, i’ll open up the submissions option or something!!  let’s grow 2gether!!!!!
also, if you guys are interested in drawing pages from different comics, consider submitting stuff to Sloane’s tumblr for redraws, called OTHER PEOPLE’S PAGES YEAH!!
Can you say inspiration? She is totally one of my favorite comic-style artists, probably like my 2nd favorite artist. Ever. Next to Alex Gross.

School Daze (and I do realize that's an extremely cliched back-to-school title but so what guys)



 You know what the best thing ever about having a blog is? Making your little sister take pictures of you when you're not posed right and you're not ready and MOVING ON.

Details:
Work shirt- c/o Old Navy
The Who T-shirt- c/o Nadia (hand-me-downs)
Shorts- c/o Nadia (I think they're an old Delias pair that I cut up)
Socks- c/o Sock it to Me
Boots- c/o Doc Martens
Flower clip- c/o a boutique in Boston

AHHH really boring outfit for going to Target, I apologize to myself and all who read this blog for inspiration. It was just a blah day and it was hot, so I threw something on and flew into the car and we were off to Target lickity-split. WHERE I DISCOVERED THAT FILM IS NOT DEAD. When I got to the photography section of the store, I came upon a single roll of Kodak film. Just sitting there, alone. I thought to myself, "YES! There are more people who share my passion!" And so I grabbed it, paying it off with a little bit of my lemonade money.

All alone, with only Instax film.
One thing that I did that day that I haven't done in a long while was take a walk through the toy section. To be completely honest, I feel like I've become extremely disconnected with the current stream of new toys. I hardly watch TV, I don't flip through Toys-R-Us catalogs anymore, and my little sister isn't much of a big "toy" fan. I remember being pretty obsessed with my collection of plastic animals and Barbie dream hotel. Quite the marketer's dream child. 

I'm a terrible person. These cameras are pretty sweet though.





 So I walked through all of the girls' toy aisles and was just thinking to myself... "Have I been living under a rock for the past two years? WHERE DID ALL OF THIS COME FROM?" Honest to goodness I was having like major flashbacks, basically gawking at all of the Fur-Real Friends. Those things were the bomb.
