lines

we licked our lips with flicking snake tongues, tasting the air, groping their respective ways around the stale taste of a wednesday evening. the smell of a slow warm glow creeping in through blinds and across your chest, your arms, your coasters on your coffee table and your own fucking method of justification. pushing along and chasing the line of an early thursday scraping in sallow slats across anemic sheets, sit up, wrench back, fall down, sink in, get out. I don't even remember it being particularly sunny that day; sweat clung to me like the lightest fibres ever were that skimmed a disapproving alabaster thigh - lewd, ripe stench and shivering your way out, pushing your way out your front door. and here i am, shivering, beads of nervousness and justification rolling down my neck, my back, clenching at my little gut and your little conscience- tugging and tugging at a cord i've tied off and grabbing wildly for a lifeline you've already cut.

sketch scans, boy, vintage textbook scan

i made it!

got a call the day after my interview. i'm so excited!






35mm and a decoupaged cigar box for you... i found an old water damaged medical encyclopaedia at the local library on the free books cart.

whew!

"johnny" top with breast cutouts.. initial sketch, and the finished product:shooting from the hip on my holga 120, double exposure on 35mm slide xpro'd

and some old 35mm stuff from highschoolsome trousers i made...



Went to my portfolio review session today. That's the last of the lot that I haven't posted yet. Real posts coming soon, I promise. Still in Vancouver... now i get to wait by the phone. I am no academic superstar, but hopefully I'm proficient enough at making things for them to consider me.

portfolio garments

Horsehair skirt with hip pockets, crinoline overlay.

in progress - new pics soon.

I'm in the process of applying for the fashion design program at Kwantlen Poly right now (my interview is next week - I should not be blogging.) The above are a few things I'm submitting for review. The criteria calls for 6-10 actual garments (not photos) so I'm a little freaked, making sure things aren't sloppy on the inside.

Sewing time.

strap me in.

On a vaguely related note: This might be the beginning of a very beautiful thing.
