DRESS MAKEOVER

This was a quick project completed during my Advanced Image Making class this week. We were given very out of date dresses and were told to make them "modern". The project arose out of discussion about Modernism and modernity, and what the distinctions between the two are.


Amy, Yongmin, and I transformed the dress by taking off length, adding functionality to the dress with pockets and a feature that allowed you to change the length of the dress on the sides. We also added some new fabric, and spray painted over the original color and pattern of the dress which was absolutely hideous. I wish I had a picture of the original dress, didn't come to mind while it was all happening.

FINDINGS

Here are a bunch of things I've piled into my "i like" folder on my desktop. They are the things that I see while surfing this ever expanding web. They are things that make me excited about design.

SOMETHING COOL HAPPENED

Yesterday a class that I really wanted to take got canceled. At first I was upset because I had wanted to take this class for quite some time. Turns out, however, that there was miraculously some spots in a silkscreening class. I've been wanting to take a silkscreening class for what seems like FOREVER!! Just goes to show that good news can come out of some not so good news.


This is the first print I made today in class in the demo. Haha, silly I know, but my room mate and I who was in the same boat could not help but be super excited!

MAHGEETAH SHOW POSTER NO. 2

For Mahgeetah's next show on September 10 at the Rockit Room in San Francisco.

Recent Finding

I was browsing around on Etsy for some ideas for a new project I'm going to start, when I stumbled upon GotBadVibes. I saw this and thought it was awesome:

MAHGEETAH

A poster I designed for some friends' band in San Francisco. Mahgeetah is playing a show in North Beach, San Francisco on August 18th. I promised them I was going to make them something (whether or not they acknowledged it...im not sure), but alas I have done it! I hope they like it.

BETWEEN HERE AND THERE IS NOWHERE

This is a publication I designed based on three of my visual interests: super mario world, op art, and the yellow submarine (beatles movie). Over time it evolved into a publication revolving around the experience of other dimensions and questioning the truth of our own.

THE SKATEBOARD IS COMPLETE!!!

stuffed animal time!

So I got a sewing machine for my birthday (yaaaay), so the time has come for some more stuffed animal making. This is going to be a gift for my boyfriend's brother. I used his favorite shirt that doesn't fit him anymore. I hope he likes it!
