Midnight Blue


I was inspired by a friend Marco's enthusiasm for fashion illustration, an energy I'm afraid I lost in my older age. I still love drawing, but I think I love creating for creating's sake, and no longer for the sake of making pieces. Every step is an end in itself - sketch, doodle or opus.

Anyhow, Marco is so in step with the very collage-y work that is currently in vogue, and I had an idea that I would try and do a piece like that. But I found myself disliking the face I drew, thinking it was too passé, so I just kept sketching with no layout in mind. But I wasn't too pleased with it. She became more interesting when I brought her into Photoshop to do her color though. I dunno.
