Soft Mask

I have been trying to think of ways to reinvent kink gear, via a more fashion bent. I always liked the comic book character Drifter's scrap-of-cloth mask, and current fashion designers have been exploring facial coverings, so I came up with an idea for a soft leather version. But I drew it on my phone in the subway on the way to a Fourth of July brunch party in NJ, and it's hardly a crisp drawing. Will revisit more thoroughly in future.

Beach Day!

I went out of my comfort zone and went to the beach with new friends, and I thought to myself, I will try and get some beach sketches in. But in the moment, it was too hard to get quick sketches in, and I found myself trying to be more present with my new friends, while being the loner sketching on a sketchbook. 

I don't love the sketches but they are what they are and not bad.

First Entries

My friends Nicholas and Gillian invited me to join them at Jones Beach on Friday, so I thought I might try and be one of those artists who spend some time sketching people on the beach. I always liked those sketches, they feel like, oh, so cool and idyllic. I didn't want to bring full-on art materials, so I foound a small, unused sketch book and did a test with the pencil I wanted to limit myself to. And this is a sketch also inspired by one of the furniture pieces I found in yesterday's IG wormhole.

Inspired By

I found myself on a clicking wormhole in Instagram, inspired by Phoebe Philo's casting for her entire feed, and then following specific models on to their feeds and other connecting feeds. I didn't know what to ultimately make of everything but I had the feeling for a female model who is better described as handsome and edgy versus pretty. Still don't know what garment to put on her though. This is a bit of one of Philo's big constructed peplum-like garments, but not sure I want to continue with it so I left it rough.
