Sketchbook

I started the day looking for "cat fashion" (that's right) and ended up here - ain't the internet grand?

"Sketchbook is a new quarterly magazine that showcases established and emerging creative talents in fashion, design and culture with a focus on features, photography and illustration" (Sketchbook magazine About).

I started with the "Fashion Blogger Issue" (obvies!) and was hooked from there.  Mentioning blogging legends like Diane Pernet to a how-to-be the next Perez always sprinkled with the best in fashion illustration (drool) - I poured through the pages like syrup on waffles (gluten free of course!).

Also brilliantly articulated in this issue was MYKROMAG's creator Abdul Lagerfield (note to self - divine legendary name relating to fashion icon), and blogspot's little feathered friend Lulu and Your Mom (great name).

Although the mag did make me feel like I needed to be about 20 to break into this scene for realsies - age fail - I ate it up like those waffles previously mentioned (mmm hungie).

Anywuzzles, check this piece out.  It may just save your blog - or your boredom.

LOOK OUT this week for coverage of the Refinery 29 SF Launch Party!!!

Igor+André

I love to draw. It's one of my favorite things. One of my other favorite things? Blogging. Now if only there was a way to combine the two?... It would reign supreme like the greatest partnerships of all time: peanut butter & chocolate, sonny & cher or eating beans and getting gas!

Californian artist Danny Roberts does just that (the drawing and blogging - not the gas) and is actually getting recognition for it! His recent blogger portrait series is so popular - Forever 21 is putting it onto t-shirts! Wear the likenesses of Louise Ebel, Caroline Engman or (personal fav) Geri Hirsch!





Buy these nationwide on June 2nd (umm, tomorrow!).

Love you, mean it

Atomic

Meet my new favorite fashion illustrator Kris Atomic.



This lovely lass hales from the Camberwell College of Arts in London. She photographs, paints, loves kitties and is all around pretty interesting. Here are a handful of my favorite things from recent posts. I think it paints a pretty good picture of Kris. But you don't have to take my word for it. Here is her blog for all around daily enjoyment.

PLUS I'm pretty sure this following picture is of me.

Doesn't it look like me?



Love you, mean it
