Magazines are always writing how a pair of heels can change an outfit, 

and bring a rush of empowerment. 

A dress, can give you wings too.

Ok, maybe not so literally like this McQueen, 

but the right dress can be as empowering a good pair of heels. 

Alexander McQueen's dresses are so much fun to paint.

This one in particular was.

Red dress, take two.

I'm sort of having an affair with red lately. 

I already posted a red dress illustration a couple weeks ago, 

but truth be told, I like this one so much better. 

Hope you like it.

the red gown

"When in doubt, wear red." 

- Bill Blass

You know how some girls dream about their 

wedding gownsever since they're, like, five? 

Well, I dream of the dress I'd wear if I were to

 attend the Met Gala if I was ever to go.

Illustration inspired by this picture, 

made with chartpaks and surprise, surprise, liquid paper.
