The Art / Fashion Mix in Full Effect!

My blog is back and what better way to kick it off then with well, MY artwork!  I have been blogging, writing and featuring others artwork for nearly a decade but thought for the relaunch it's time to post a few pieces of what I have been working on, the original and my version meant to be similar / recognizable, but of course, different.

The art / fashion mix is my passion and lately, remaking some of my favorite advertisements that speak to me.  Many have embellishments such as fabric, Swarovski, inks, spray paint, stickers and whatever else comes from inspiration.
