Carly Waito and her amazing super realistic mineral paintings. I have a secret passion for big gems as most of the girls, I suppose. Carly has a not that secret skill for painting them and make it look almost like a photo. Truly amazing.
My post today is not about fashion. Right now I'm working on this painting with a friend. The screen is 70x90cm and I think we're doing ok. I draw the most part of it and he's doing the most painting.
The original is still unfinished and it looks like this:
Since I'm not that good with the brushes I decided to do my version with what I know best: Photoshop.
Metallics are everywhere in fashion nowadays and although I didn't like it that much before now I surrender to the golden empire and to prove it I made this silicone piece of art/jewerly and painted it gold.
What do you think of it?
Os tons metálicos estão em todo o lado hoje em dia e apesar de eu antes nem gostar muito deles, agora estou rendida a este império dourado e a prova disso é que fiz esta peça de arte/joalharia em silicone e pintei-a de dourado. Qual é a vossa opinião? Gostam?
Music to me is like an inspiration. Sometimes I don't even try to understand the words, I just listen to the sound, the beat, the rhythm. That's why I like almost any kind of music, from commercial to electronic, including rock, indie and even hip hop. I don't care about styles and sometimes I don't even care about bands, I just care about music and maybe that's why from all of the genres those I like the most are probably dreampop and experimental. Altough there's always a voice in this songs most of the time what they're saying is the less important thing in the whole music (and if you're not a native english speaker you possibly will not even understand what they're saying sometimes)
Summing up, want I what you to listen, feel and see is a short list of videos that I choose from a long list of favorites! These are not just amazing songs but amazing fashion and artistic videoclips.
Para mim a música é uma inspiração. Às vezes eu nem tento perceber o que oiço, apenas vou ouvindo o som, a batida, o ritmo. É por isso que eu gosto de quase todos os tipos de música, da comercial à electrónica, incluindo o rock, o indie e até o hip hop. Pouco me interessa o estilo e muitas vezes nem me importa a banda, eu só ligo à música e provavelmente é por isso que te todos os géneros musicais os que eu gosto mais são provavelmente o dreampop e o experimental. Apesar de haver sempre a parte vocal, na maior parte das vezes o que está a ser dito é o menos importante da música.
Resumindo, o que eu quero que oiçam, sintam e vejam é uma pequena lista de vídeos que eu escolhi de uma longa lista de músicas favoritas! Estas músicas não são apenas maravilhosas pela sua sonoridade mas também pela moda e a arte que compõe os videoclips.
Well, what can I say about it... this is an alive and motion illustration I made for my illustration class. We had to recicle old materials and turn it into something beautiful. I believe I achieved the goal! After the photoshoot I also made an experimental/conceptual film about it.
I need to thank to Nuno and Erica from TheWardrobes.
