More Research in color, mood and form

So much Research!

...Just the beginning, as one good image always leads to several more- and some images, even if they are good, are just not quite right. So refining the idea through images is a extensive project. but one of the best parts of the creative process!

Les Traces Habiles

Check out the blog for information on Les Traces Habiles, an organization started in Paris by Claire Combeau as a platform for her project 'Dess(e)ins' a collection of artwork representing the process of creation. Sketches from authors, chroeographers, graphic designers, architects, and fashion designer(me)

it is a great concept that I feel privileged to be a part of, and hope it can be a meaningful archive later down the road.

ICINORI 'procrastination'

these awesome illustrations are done by duo Raphaël Urwiller & Mayumi Otero
they make books, posters, prints, and are amazing storytellers through their limitless imaginations.
Speaking with the artists, this project was done during moments of 'non-productivity', and a way to stay productive while procrastinating. 

Enjoy! and check out their work on their website
