I hope you read the comment I left for you all in the following post today. I mean that.

Well she's finished. AND she is up for the cover of dujour mag. you can vote for her (and her nail polish) here if you'd like to support me today. I could use some love this week.
She's titled wicked after my fav essie nail polish :)
And those are chapped lips- it's pink oil paint baby! You will be able to see her in person soon....

for their features and awards. sweet. In between my paintings I have been turning to fashion alot. MaryJo is launching her own couture line and sent this sneak peek for us! I am so inspired by people like this who can create their own lines. So proud of you! Check out Mary Jo's blog for more updates. What about you, do you have the guts, and style to begin your own label???

So yesterday I was drawing, and a toothbrush ended up in one of my fashion illustrations:


for collabo, email dallasshawdesign@gmail.com
Which got me thinking that it looked like a Paul Smith toothbrush I had seen in London... so I then went on a quest to buy it online. While on my search I bumped into these pretties :

new work today!

This weekend was so wonderful! The weather was amazing and I got to do some great new work. Haven't done new vintage since the keys. So I added some new pieces on etsy and will be adding them to the website today as well. Hope you like the new goodies?

feeling bad about yesterday, so I'll leave you with my picks for the weekend. From ravinstyle.com ps: a fun assignment. if you look closely you might see a familiar model on the website (it's not me) Happy weekend!

my bad

hey. I skipped a day.
For all of you in the art industry that follow you know that being an artist can get a little rough here and there. I needed a day to sort some things out. Things in my office had been piling and piling up. I also needed a "think day". Needed to get some additional inspiration and figure out what my next moves would be to be really successful. So if your not following, hope you will be soon. I feel really good this morning!
Enjoyed what I think will be the last real day of snow yesterday,I'll be watching it melt from the office window today.


While I desaturated this shot, I'd love to introduce you to a company called We dream In Colour.
I first bought a pair or their earrings at urban last year.
this is the pair I own. You can see them in this shot:


it's the only piece of jewelry I own with any color in it. Thinking of getting another piece. I wont wear them together. Promise.

love this

Wouldn't this just sweeten up anyone's work day?
