Fresh to Death SHE is!

Ever since I’ve hit about 17, for my birthday my mom has bought me Barbie related
items (i seriously don't know why and honestly don’t want to ask; their sweet either way it goes.)




She found 5 Vintage Mattel Barbie Doll(s) Fashion Catalogues from the 50s-70s.



I love these things! A sweet documentation of the fashions and history of Barbie, Ken, Skipper, Midge and the rest of the gang through out the years!


I never knew there was a Twiggy Doll!


Cute fashions, layouts are pretty sweet and the illustrations are great!

Me in a Fashion Show?

September 25th I had the opportunity to be in the Eat Street Style Fashion Show hosted by Head to Toe Salon. It showcased vintage fashion from Blacklist Vintage, Lost & Found and Head to Toe all boutiques found on Nicollet Ave Minneapolis,MN.

Of course your girl was the Show Stopper, the grand finale. I wore a Steampunk outfit designed by the ladies at Blacklist Vintage, Mrs. Vanessa Messersmith & Mrs. Jennifer Sapiro. Beautiful cool outfit, but the metal corset got stuffy, but the shit non the less.

You can see some shots of me and the other fashions shown on the Digital Crush Photography website or if you my friend on Facebook my bestie Allison Welch took some for all to enjoy.

Jean Patou’s Joy

A project for Illustration 2 (now known as Concepts + Metaphors). A packaging redesign of Jean Patou's Joy perfume, which is considered the most expensive commercial perfume you can buy. For my redesign I wanted to gear the perfume to a younger crowd, so I thought more fashion editorial. I took one of the definitions of the word Joy (4. a state of happiness or felicity) and made is into a textile.




Later I added this print work that could be used as ads or the signs in the stores.

Slide Library Virgins

I poster I did a while back that I just now found (I did it before I had my hard drive and had to put stuff on cds). Glad I found it

Making Integrated part 1

In my process to make my Toy Concepts into an Integrated project, I decided to make packaging for the toys, a website for the video game (since they’re based on a faux fighting game), and an EBOX 360 concept (still trying to figure out what that will be).

Gwendalyn and Amelia




Here is a newer sketch of Gwendalyn I started today. On the right side is the 1st concept for Gwen I did like probably a year ago for Illustration 1 out of colored card stock (her outfit was aqua and she had a hat back then).

Do a Randy!

A project for my History of Advertising class, a salute to Paul Rand. I really love the simplicity oh his work.

Seven Deadly Sins

My first try at making a book (well a zine) for Typography 1. I have never used InDesign never the less make a book, but it went okay. I was more excited about making the layouts of the book then actually making it.

Anyway here are a few pages from my zine about the Seven Deadly Sins with essay excerpts for “Seven Deadly Sins” by Rev. John Stalker. This semester I also discover the wonderful world of Acetone transfers, so I layered them with some illustrations I did.
