InTheLittleWood x Givenchy

16/18 of LifeStyle: A Life Series Fashion Zine

I knew for Martyn that I wanted to feature his backpack in the illustration, since it's a very unique part of his skin - this big challenge that presented was making sure he was still recognizable and interesting, and that the clothes and styling were clear, while being in a back-facing pose. I think the jumping pose and over-the-shoulder head turn added fun dynamic movement to it that helped a lot!

This is so sweet oh my gosh?? Yes that's me!!

The project is a personal art zine I did called LifeStyle: A Life Series Fashion Zine, and as of now we're up to six posted so far of the eighteen illustrations (Cleo, Grian, Scar, Mumbo, Scott, and Gem). I try to post one every other day or every two days!

i believe their user is @/artbysconnor! i just found their account maybe 15 minutes ago? I LOVE THEIR ART. I LOVE IT SO MUCH. they have a super cool project going where they're releasing a life series member a day wearing an outfit from a specific high-end fashion brand and four have been released thus far- I AM SO EXCITED TO SEE THE REST!! amazing account, go check them out and follow them if you're not following them already!! <3

I know this is super random, but it's been on my mind and I must release it to the ether....

Haley Dunphy from Modern Family deserved better. Dylan did, too but for sure Haley. It's not even that they end up together, struggling with twins, it's that at one point the show set them up to move forward towards these great futures, separately, and then the show just forgot about Haley and her ambitions and moved her backwards for the sake of...I don't know, giving her her mother's life? It's so dumb. Haley, baby, I'm so sorry!

Może to wygląda jakbym w każdym poście szukał wymówek ale ciężko się pracuje kiedy ciąży nad tobą poczucie nieustająco zbliżającej się katastrofy.

Tym razem mała wymiana. Ja byłem odpowiedzialny za tekst a @moshruu za "średnio mądrą i dobrą" grafikę. Jak ktoś chce fizyczną kopię to niech mi blikiem przeleje na znaczek i wyśle adres na mess.

TangoTek x Valentino

9/18 of LifeStyle: A Life Series Fashion Zine

-

We're officially halfway there!

Tango was a difficult one to do, and I actually went back and redid the lighting and shading on this piece multiple times. I'm still not sure if I'm happy with the way I rendered his jacket and vest, but I decided to practice a very important thing in art and decide that done is better than perfect, and that it would be okay.

I also knew from the start I wanted to use Valentino as his brand, and I also wanted to make sure to include a big bag of some kind as a reference to his redstone box in Hermitcraft. I like the idea of him running around with a big tote bag, pulling out random redstone bits from it while he works like an engineering Mary Poppins.

Someone else you admire?

My good friend Twilly went to uni at 16 for PoliSci, Philosophy, and French, faithfully saved to be able to attend PFW every year for four years and to take the Eurail around Europe, and she’s graduating and moving to Europe to start grad school next year. I visited her at McGill when we were both around 19, and I was blown away by how much she’d been able to accomplish in the six months since I’d last seen her.

 

Twill is chic, totally carefree, cool, Congolese, and never too much. She’s found ways to study internationally for most of her life; she wrote a fashion magazine in high school; her music taste and humor are impeccable; and she’s got the bookshelf of my daydreams. T ran a small style, fashion, and lifestyle zine called “The Ambassador’s Wife” for the longest time, and the yearly zine perfectly captured the life I want to lead one day. She has such an eye for detail and has studied aesthetics and art in such depth.

 

She’s a chef, she jokes that she’s a bit of a literary dilettante but she’s far from it, she’s an artist, and she’s a dancer and actress. Twilly is the definition of a cool girl; it comes naturally to her. She’s adventurous and exotic without ever seeming like she’s trying too hard; she’s intelligent, cosmopolitan, inquisitive, and really extraordinary. She’s always told me that there’s something to be said about living life without the need for constant approval, and she’s right—there is.

 

People don’t just want to know Twilly; they want to be around her and have her in their lives. She’s magnetic and can make the worst of times seem like the best. She’d toss her hair over her shoulder and joke about spending too much time watching Anthony Bourdain, but she’s the sort of person who strays off the beaten track, comes back with stories, and has experiences that make you want to follow her the next time she goes. It’s hard to be the queen of the Irish goodbye when everyone wants you to stay, but she manages. 

 

There was a summer where she broke her phone and had to make do with a flip phone and her digital camera, so as she traveled, she’d write her address on the back of a spare photo she’d printed and distribute them to anyone she wanted to stay in contact with. She returned home to dozens of her photos mailed back to her and had to send off hundreds of texts and emails to get back in contact with everyone she’d met.

 

I admire her immensely and believe her to be one of the most consistent people in my life. We’ve known each other for years, watched each other grow, and leaned on each other. I faithfully send updates and advice, and she keeps me up to date with the major fashion houses she follows. It can be difficult to make high quality friends that mature with you as you grow up, so I think I'm especially lucky to have someone so likeminded and understanding in my life as one of my closest girls.

unfollowed so many people recently because I can't stand seeing people with all that money and such huge platforms do nothing about palestine, not utilise their huge audiences to bring attention to fundraisers, not use the projects like their book clubs or their photography zines to do something for one of the biggest humanitarian emergencies happening right now. it's all about making themselves look good. it's so selfish. their world is just themselves.

I'm also just sick of seeing a curated aesthetic lifestyle of excess, expensive dinners and expensive clothes which is fine except there's nothing of integrity to counterbalance it. why was I even following these people in the first place. idk why I thought they were nicer than that. you can enjoy your wealth and your western city lifestyle and still spare some amount of energy to Palestine. if people like me, with so little income and has to depend on government financial aid can spare money and time to make a platform that is free and accessible to everyone and that raises money for Palestine, seriously what excuse do these people have?

and some of these people follow me, they like my content, they get inspired by what I do because I see them emulate it in their own way, but they read my insta stories about Palestine and they say nothing and don't contribute. it disgusts me.

once again I'm linking the fundraiser I'm promoting in my book club as we read Minor Detail by Adania Shibli, and I'm going to be organising and collecting some more fundraisers for Palestinian families. I wish I had a bigger audience to promote this to.

i was wondering what other characters are u thinking of fitting into the chau? :0

convex will need to do a mission to take down another criminal (perhaps a former rival or colleague?) or maybe help contain another anomaly. i feel that zombiecleo would make a good crime boss and/or anomaly (perhaps both?), and stress would make a good anomaly too (criminal or not, she's bound to have good intentions) rendog might be a good crime boss aswell. i feel like a cat cafe or gardening business would be fun as a cover or pre-anomaly civilian lifestyle (particularly for cleo/stress)

but, it depends on what u enjoy drawing and writing, who u're familiar with, and how u want to write! :D it is ur story. i just wanted to share some thoughts that have been rattling around in my skull idk. i think u've done a rlly great job writing ur characters so far, making them believable and expressive.

hope u have a nice day !! ^^ love ur work. excited for those zines to come out too

ooh, these are all good ideas, thank you ! i guess i’m unsure which hermits to make citizens, crime bosses being hunted, or working for the nho.

i know i want martyn to be a big part of the au for sure, it feels wrong to have watcher stuff without him there. Grian seems him out after finding an online forum dedicated to discussing watchers that has like, 7 active members, and Martyn is the mod of the community and studies watchers constantly in his free time. He’s a total nerd about it and is low key way more useful when it comes to watcher lore than anyone at the NHO. they might have scientists who study magical anomalys but martyn has. A fixation™. and i think that’s more powerful

ever wondered what it's like to ditch your rented flat and buy a narrowboat instead?

oh and then also a tiny home in the middle of the atlantic??

this one's for you.
