I’m often equally as interested in what people wear to major fashion shows as I am about the designer’s collections. I loved this outfit from Alexa Chung until I saw the jacket and weird biker-short things (which you can’t really see in these pictures). What do you think?

The beading detail on this dress is absolutely stunning, and I love how pale and flawless her skin is. Though, to be honest, I think this dress would look nicer on someone with more curves. It’s looking a little awkward around her hips, in my opinion, but she pulls it off.

I can’t even express to you how much I love it when I can combine fashion and nerdyness in this blog.
Jobs is at the Oscars supporting Pixar’s ‘Up’ and is looking very smart in a suit I cannot identify. I am glad to see he put away his black turtleneck for the occasion.
Steve Jobs is the co-founder of Apple, previously a CEO at Pixar and currently the largest shareholder in Walt Disney. He is the idol of technology-enthusiasts and entrepreneurs the world over.
And on a slightly un-related note, I still very much want the Steve Jobs doll:

Those silk (I’m assuming) striped pants are genius. They’re such a perfect combination with the structured jacket and beaded shoulders; a little bit kooky but still totally elegant and chic. Must have.
I think they’d also look great as little striped shorts. Maybe I’ll try this out with some striped silk pajama shorts – I think there’s total potential there for them to look dressy, or at least acceptable as out-wear.
Love the dress on the right; so wearable and cute. But I’m not so sure that plain black jeans belong in fashion week. I don’t know, not convinced.

I don’t go crazy for Oscars fashion. I find layered, casual outfits so much more interesting than straight formal wear. But I do love Haute Couture and there was a nice selection on display from the AW 2010 runways at the Oscars this year.
I also thought Miley Cyrus looked adorable, and Meryl Streep looked very elegant and age appropriate. Who was your favorite?

This image was drawn in Adobe Photoshop with a Wacom tablet. I’ve also recorded a video of the process of this illustration, which will be coming soon.
This is image that the illustration was based on:

This is a bit of a random post for this blog, but you must check out my amazingly talented friend Katie. She writes beautiful songs. This one was written and recorded in under an hour. I want an mp3 copy to listen to on my iPhone – got that, Katie?
I wish could sing and play guitar. Out of all artistic talents, I consider music to be the greatest in the way it affects people so immediately and directly. Drawing is nice, but it can never make an impression on people in the way music can – at least, in my opinion.
Of course, I consider film the ultimate in artistic expression because it encompasses images, movement and sound, but still, it’s never as immediate or personal as music can be.

Outfit is Sretsis.
I’ve been recording the process of me drawing this illustration, so when I’ve finished I’ll post that up as a little video too. Many people don’t understand the process of digital illustration, so I thought it might be an interesting thing to do.
