laundry

      Well, it is 2am...couldn't sleep, so I am up doin' some laundry--joyous. On the plus side, I finished a project today that I am excited to present tomorrow in my Visual Merchandising class~my fav one so far~ on Ruben Toledo. It was very interesting to learn about this Illustrators life. Not only is he married to Isabel Toledo, who designed a couple inaugural outfits for Michelle Obama, but he is also Cuban! He and his wife have been spending their lives in a fabulous NYC apartment, helping each other out with sketches, paintings, designs, etc... To me, they are the perfect couple. It took some time considering I had to borrow my friend Dani's printer, but it is an eye-catching finish!

     Flashing backwards to last night, I decided to sketch in my spankin' new sketch book while a friend crashed on my floor because of roommate issues. Amazingly, I have a finished product! I got my inspiration from the photo on my blog--of Emma Watson during her Teen Vogue shoot. I also started to write in my journal for my design class. It is a journal of inspirations; things we see around us that inspire us. So, the journal if for me to write or sketch whatever I see on the streets; internet, movies, etc..., and save it to look back on.

It's that time folks, time for me to run down for the downy cycle! Hopefully I can get some sleep and wake up for my 9am class tomorrow...woohooo!

Sweet dreams readers!
