We've made it, the weekend is here! This week's #FridayFavorite is the uber-talented illustrator, Jamie Lee Reardin. I first discovered this Toronto-born illustrator when she recently hand-illustrated thee chicest cut-outs for each guest at the Dior Beauty dinner party. Gasp! Jamie was discovered by Dior via Instagram and creates some of the most whimsical fashion illustrations I've every seen! Now she's moved on to do a 7 page collaboration with Fashion Mag, on newsstands Oct. 13th. Inspired by theatrical runway productions, couture, and even Tim Burton, Jamie and I share a love for all things fashion and art. She's now living in Los Angeles, pursuing her creative dreams. You go girl! Be sure to follow Jamie's Instagram for daily inspiration. XO

Artist Crush: Emma Hack

By: Unknown on 4/28/2014

My Monday crush is artist Emma Hack from down under. Inspired by model Verushka in the 60's and 70's, Emma became a visual artist and began to master the notion of camoflauge using body paint, people, animals, and photography! She soon found the perfect inspiration and medium for her work and gained  full access to the Florence Broadhurst archives of some 530 designs which birthed the Wallpaper Collection of images that span from 2005 to her recently launched collection in 2010. It was during this time that Emma began exhibiting her limited edition photographic images. Her first ever wallpaper camouflage took 19 hours straight to paint with more recent works taking anywhere from 8-15 hours, depending on the complexity of the design. You may also recognize her work from the 2012 hit song  "Somebody That I Used to Know", where she painted singers Gotye 's music video. Her work is intriguing to say the least. It is an exhausting process for artist and subject alike; however the results are nothing short of spectacular. Enjoy your day!!!!
