why are you wearing that stupid man suit?

I rewatched Donnie Darko the other day. It's my all time favourite movie and the Mad World scene gets me every. time. Obviously don't watch the clip below if you haven't seen the movie yet*.



Ever since I rewatched it, Frank the Bunny has been popping up in my dreams** a lot lately. So I figured if I post about him, he'll stop? Because, like, I love my sleep and stuff and he's interrupting it :////

haha Frank! Wizard of Oz is for kids! You don't scare me :l

now you're a hairstyle. soooo scary!
aww, Calvin & Hobbes :')


and then I made this:


I'm not okay.





*WHY HAVEN'T YOU
**did I say dreams? Totes meant nightmares.

I changed my drawing style completely for my portfolio... I really wanted my bounded book to be something that I would be truly proud of. Also, once a book is bound you can't really take anything out or put anything in sooooo basically wanted it to be more profesh. College's fashion show last night went down with almost no glitches. I am really happy, tired, sore, relieved, calm and content all in one. I am no longer a student, guys!

Next on my list: revamped logo & an online store. But first I need to take a holiday. :)

A is for Astronaut Holding Solar System Balloons

It's September.Gahh. Really not looking forward to people's very original "Wake me up when September ends" posts. I can't stand Green Day, to me, they're like an adult Simple Plan. Snap, I bet I lost 2 of my 7 blog readers now. Oh well. I BLOG FOR ME, OKAY?!

ANYWAY, I somehow made it to the top 50 designs in Big Blue's Makhulu Polane t-shirt design competition! So, if you're one of my faithful (now) 5 blog readers, please vote for me by clicking >>this link<< and rate my design (below) with 5 stars. I'll love you forever. kbye.

I can draw. kind of.

These are my fashion figure templates that I'll be using this year. I'll probably use it for the rest of my life.* I did it in Illustrator and it literally took me like 10 minutes.** I can't draw to save my life so you can imagine how proud I am of these babies. Yeah, I know, I'm the worst fashion designer ever. WHATEVS. I was partially inspired by Mr T. Burton. That guy, he's a genius.




*a lie.
**why am I lying so much?

The Cuteness that is Fifi Lapin

I can't remember when exactly I first stumbled across The Artiste Fifi Lapin, what I do remember is going "AWWWW" when I first saw a Fifi illustration. Fifi is a very fashionable bunny with very wealthy parents, who lost 256 siblings due to an outbreak of myxomatosis*. 


 Fifi started her blog in 2007 and ever since then her art exploded over the fashion scene. In fact, her art has been featured in magazines such as Elle,  British Vogue and Glamour to name a few. She has also had the opportunity to design for Topshop and ASOS**. Her art can also be found on t-shirts, iPhone covers, stylebooks, as jewellery, as giant statues in China, calendars, bags and postcards amongst other things***.
 

 I love how the sketches are cutesy simplified versions of other looks.
Nobody really knows who is behind this persona. When asked if she has ever revealed what she looked like as a human, she responded that she didn't understand the question. Haha, talk about keeping in character, hey?


Still, she is by far the world's most stylish bunny. Check out her blogspot here.





*STOP rolling your eyes, that's what it says on her profile.
**ASOS is the reason I can never get a credit card.
***too long?****
****that's what she said.
