Is it just me, or did this new season of Project Runway come really fast? I'm certainly not complaining. No! Far from it. I imagine in time, I will definitely come to obsess over this new cast as much I have over previous batches. I was out of the country when the first two episodes aired, so I'm still getting to know this new crew. There's a handful that are standing out. Some for their great designs and some for excelling at the fine art of being annoying. Two contestants seem to be graduates of the Christian Siriano school of trying to be memorable TV personalities. Like.........
Suede.
I have to say, I like what I've seen Suede design. What is really annoying is his constant third person references. It's hard to imagine how even more obnoxious that will become in the following episodes.
The other contestant who is trying really, really, really hard to stand out is Blayne and his "holler at your boy" nonsense.
You know who's not annoying...... Keith.
He's clearly the hunk du season five. Keith is from Salt Lake City and has a quite, smoldering hotness. And from the episode I saw, that woman who looks like Pee Wee Herman was mad that he walked in front of her as she was snapping photos. I want to tell Miss Pee Wee Herman that she's lucky to have photographed the hunky designing bear.
And that's all for now.
Please check Blogging Project Runway for recaps, news, and all things PR. That site is a ton of fun.
To see my drawings from last season, have a look here.
Both drawings are ink on paper done in about twenty minutes each. A bit of digital color added to Suede's faux hawk. And a giant glass of Cabernet helped my sketching abilities.
If you enjoy looking at my drawings online, the next step would be having one or two or three in your home. Interested? Click on over to my etsy shop and take a gander. And your credit card. :) Much appreciated!




Yea!!! I love the added blue detail in Suede's mohawk. You really captured his annoying personality by the expression you created on his face. I'm not good with names but I just wish I could forget his!
I love Keith too and was holding my breath that he didn't get kicked off last week. He really should have listened to Tim concerning the shape of his dress. It is exactly what the judges hated about it.
Blayne's "girlicious" tanorexic vibe is hard to stomach, but I bet he ends up sticking around for awhile to torment the other designers, which makes for great Bravo TV. Will you shade his skin tan if you decide to sketch him?
I think Wesley is really cute but of course he was so kicked off so quickly we barely got to know him; plus he is dating Daniel his competitor. I think Daniel is also attractive as well really talented.
Sorry for the novel, I think it is from withdraws. So glad you are sketching Project Runway again! LOVE IT!!!

Yes!! I love the Project Runway drawings, and I'm diggin' this season so far. You should draw Kenley...she's my favorite! I love the whole Vargas pin-up girl thing she's got going on. Blayne is ridicuLICIOUS and I think he should go home next. Thanks for always blogging about the greatest show on TV!

PLEASE do illustrations of Blayne!! He has the funniest face and i'm sure you can make a hilarious sketch of him.

That Keith is perfect! I love how anti-climatic he is, not a bit of annoyance creeps from him. As a salt lake city residence.. I almost, selfishly, hope Keith doesnt win and stays here! I know I have heard his name kicked around town and word is he has created some fan-freaking-tastic clothes for local gals and did a runway show or two with some other local boutiques.. I hope its all true because thats one man I must make contact with!

Keith is by far the best character, but I don't see the resemblance.
