MEANWHILE, BACK AT THE FARM . . .

I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW LONG I'VE BEEN MESSIN' AROUND WITH THIS ONE! I HAD THE IDEA TO USE THE DIOR 'JUNON' GOWN FROM 1949, THIS BEAUTIFUL HAND BEADED ICE BLUE STUNNER, WITH A DIRTY FARM GIRL HOLDING PIGS AND CHICKENS AND OTHER NASTY BARN-YARD STUFF. THE BEAUTY OF THE DRESS IMMEDIATELY MADE ME FEEL IT HAD TO BE PAIRED WITH SOMETHING BLAH!

I DID AN ORIGINAL PASS OF IT (WHICH YOU CAN SEE BELOW) MAYBE THREE YEARS AGO, BUT I NEVER WAS TOO HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS. THEN ABOUT A YEAR AGO I DID A NEW DRAWING OF IT, AND ONLY YESTERDAY DID I FINALLY SCAN OT AND PHOTOSHOP IT INTO ALL IT'S GLORY!!! I THINK IT TURNED OUT REALLY CUTE AND WAY BETTER THEN IT'S ORIGINAL VERSION.

AND LADIES, IF YOU HAVE TO BE OUT IN THE BARN SHOVELIN' HAY AND SLOPPIN' THE PIGS, WHY NOT WEAR A COUTURE GOWN!!?

BOYS vs. GIRLS

HERE'S ME BRUSHING UP ON MY FASHION CROQUIS (IT'S FRENCH, KIDS, PRONOUNCED 'CROW-KEY', IT MEANS A DRAWINGS OF A FASHION FIGURE, JEEZ, DO I GOTTA TELL YOU EVERYTHING?).

I WANTED TO DO A FEW GUYS BECAUSE I AM ALWAYS DRAWING WOMEN. DRAWING THE FEMALE FORM JUST COMES MORE NATURALLY TO ME, BUT I DO OCCASIONALLY LIKE TO DRAW MEN TOO, NORMALLY SUPER-HERO MEN LIKE THOR OR BATMAN OR CAPTAIN AMERICA.

THE CLOTHING THESE FASHION FIENDS ARE WEARING ARE ALL BY DIFFERENT DESIGNERS FROM DIFFERENT SEASONS, I CAN'T REMEMBER WHICH AT THE MOMENT. I JUST WANTED TO SHOW A RANGE OF DAY AND EVENING LOOKS. IF YOU SEE SOMETHING FAMILIAR LET ME KNOW WHEN IT CAME FROM!

HANDS ON

NO GLOVE, NO LOVE! AND YOU GOTTA LOVE THIS COMME DES GARCONS BLOUSE WITH STUFFED CARTOON GLOVES ATTACHED. AND OF COURSE WE ALL KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT A MICKEY MOUSE EARS HAT . . . IT GOES WITH EVERYTHING!!! SWIMSUITS, HIPSTER FLANNEL SHIRTS, POLICE MAN UNIFORMS, SCUBA GEAR, FEETY P.J.s, A STRAIGHT JACKET, A MICKEY MOUSE COSTUME . . . EVERYTHING! JUST THROW ON YOUR MICKEY EARS AND YOUR GOOD TO GO!!!
