Julian Beever's 3D chalk pavement art

Check this out! I was talking to my cousin today and he asked if I had ever seen any 3D chalk art, and I said I'd never heard of it. We looked this up on the internet and I was totally amazed. This guy Beever is an English artist and draws these pictures on sidewalks, mostly in England and in Europe. There is also at least one film of him actually drawing on Youtube. In order to get the 3D effect, the pictures have to be viewed from just the right angle.

My new favorite fashion designer - Tsumori Chisato

I just dicovered a fashion designer that I absolutely love! Tsumori Chisato has some of the most original clothing I've seen lately. The fabrics appear to be hand painted with modern art style graphics in bright colors, and the shapes of the garments are also quite unusual. And check out the matching shoes! I've never seen anything like it! It looks like super really talented and beautiful aliens just landed from another planet. Check out these photos from her Spring 2008 collection that I got at elle.com.

Urban Outfitters has awesome graphic design tees

Check these out! I love graphic tees and wear them almost everyday.

Cool t-shirt graphic

I'm always on the lookout for fashions that I might be able to make at home and/or recreate at a lower price. Here's an easy idea. Buy a bright t-shirt and paint some bright comic book types words on it. Here's a guy from a street style website who has the look. It looks like something that might have been made by a great pop culture designer!

This design looks like it was airbrushed. If you are like me and you don't own an airbrush, you can sometimes create a similar effect by putting fabric paint in an old spray bottle.

Once Upon A Honeymoon blog has the best shoes!

Check out the ladies shoes on this blog! They are amazing! Here's a few examples.

For Something different, try Indian fashion

One reason I like International fashion magazines and websites is because sometimes I can get some new, original ideas for fashion designs that I might make or try to imitate. Today I was looking at the website for Vogue India magazine, which is at www.vogue.in. The fashion designers listed on the sight are totally different from the ones that we know in the US and in Europe. I didn't see one designer's name that I recognized. Here are a few photos that I got from the website:

James Jean Illustrator of Prada print art

You have all see the Prada collection featuring the beautiful fairies, but have you ever heard about the illustrator behind the prints? Until today, I thought that the illustrations were by Prada herself! It turns out that the artist is comic book illustrator James Jean! If you want to read more about him, go to his website and blog at www.processrecess.com. There is also a great article about him at comics212.net. Here are some of his illustrations that are not on Prada clothing.
