What an experience it was working backstage at Valentino: The Last Emperor gala and fashion show :) There were two other runway shows (The Battalion and Oliver Tolentino) I also got to help out with before Valentino's. Enjoy these little snapshots taken from my phone xo



These are over $30,000 Christian Dior gowns by the way.
And here are some photos found online...

The Sartorialist

I met Scott Schuman last night at his book signing!

Haha and he told me my book made him happy because I have marked many of my favorites with little yellow post-its. Scott then randomly targeted some of those portraits to explain the basic story behind the person and who they are which I thought was cool of him given the book's very minimal text.

some portraits taken this month by Scott

4x4 & getaways

These were my first homework assignment for intaglio printmaking everrrr! Messed up in couple spots, but kinda like them :)

P.S. I was in Grand Rapids & Chicago this past weekend and it was sooo so good being away for at least a little while. It was a lot of hot dog eating & bff time.

traditional draw paint

Do you prefer this painting of Lina with or without the background of Times Square????? [acrylic paint]

Chantal looking a little bored. [ballpoint pen]

EDIT
Took a slightly different turn with the background & made it a random snowy mountain :)

use me.

I submitted a design for Crossroads ministry's apparel at Grace Community Church. Not sure if it'll be used, but what a blessing and honor it was to work on! There weren't any rules so I decided to take Crossroads's original logo and transform it a bit. Suggestions anyone? Since there really isn't any word to take out, any word to add in?!

Thought I'd also post another tshirt I did awhile back for kids' summer Vacation Bible School. They were definitely cuter to look at when a handful of little children were wearing them at once.

painting as if it's a sketch

wild things

The Where the Wild Things Are exhibit displayed Christian Joy's own interpretation of the 5 monsters and Max (costume in silver) using felt.

room full of photographs & sketches
sculptured goodiesme trying to be Max... haha.


The book itself being such a visual delight, it makes me look forward to how that'll play out on the screen!
