UGH! Sorry for posting this so late. My internet went out this morning right before I was gearing up to post this and I haven't been able to leave my home until now. I'm in a coffee shop down the street and I'm flying on the most intense caffeine high imaginable. So I apologize if my spelling is worse than usual as my fingers are a blur of motion.
Last night's Project Runway rocked in the most spectacular fashion! Right after the show began, my Directv went out for about ten minutes. I screamed the F word so loudly that I was certain my neighbors were going to call the police. I clutched my Tivo remote and prayed to the baby Jesus, American fashion designer Michael Kors, and to Nina Garcia of Elle magazine. My prayer worked as PR came back on and I was able to rewind and watch the show in its entirety. Thank you Jesus, Michael Kors, and Nina Garcia. The theme was Avant Garde and I was thrilled with the pairing of Christian and Chris a.k.a Team Fierce.
This is Chris and I'm so glad he's on the show. His theatrical over the top style coupled with Christian vision turned into the most glorious couture gown. Loved it!
Nina Garcia also loved the look. This is a very quick sketch of her reaction to Team Fierce's gown. She could barely contain her smile. I always wonder what the judges are scribbling on their Project Runway note cards. I think she wrote, "I hope this gown comes in a size 16 for Michael Kors."
Go Team Fierce!
This is the all knowing, problem solving, sage advice giving Tim Gunn. The heavens opened and out came Tim. He's so refined and elegant. I wish he'd come over every day and help me with my posts.
"David, I'm concerned about this Paris Hilton drawing. I don't think you made her skanky enough." Alright, I can't imagine Tim Gunn would say skanky, but it's a delightful fantasy.
All the above drawings are ink on paper done in between 10 to 20 minutes.
I thought I'd have a little extra drawing fun with Jack Mackenroth who left the show a few weeks back. I referenced a photo of him from Frank Louis's site. Frank's site contains some seriously hot nude photos so it's definitely NSFW. It's also VHAYWTTY Very Hot And You'll Want To Touch Yourself.
This drawing of Jack is pen and ink washes on watercolor paper.
Caffeine in the afternoon makes me a little spastic. :)
Also be sure to check out Blogging Project Runway for a wonderful recap.
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!
I was directed over here by a link and found HEAVEN. You are quite talented and I'm just loving the new season of Project Runway.
I was sick in bed for a little over a week and stumbled onto Bravo's 'reality' shows (Yes! a Bravo virgin). Marathons of The Real Housewives and past seasons of PR sealed my fate. Or it was the cold meds? Not sure.
You don't have to post this, just wanted to give you a shout out!

Your sketches came out so great! I can't even pick out which one is my favorite!
Jack is so hot! I have noticed we pretty much like the same men.
Chris and Christian made such a great team! Christian is so talented and Chris is so great to work with plus all his background with costumes -- they definitely deserved to win last night.
Victorya is so annoying, much more so than Rosie O'Donnell.
Who would have thought Rami would have been such a micro manager? That was really a surprise. I felt so bad for Sweet P last night.
And just as you would like Tim Gunn's advice, I was just thinking today, I wish David would help make my "Why I Volunteer at the Humane Society" post just the least bit interesting -- maybe it needs a tramp stamp???? We all have our dream mentors!:-)

I also loved last night's show, and surprise, surprise my 87 year old mom LOVES Tim Gunn and this show! She came rushing in on her walker and breathlessly asked if Tim was on yet!! She used to be one of Edith Head's minions back in the day at MGM..has she got the stories to tell! Needless to say I was always the best dressed little girl, young lady and teenager! I can sew a pretty mean frock myself, I LOVE this show also and hopes it inspires all of those who love fashion and art to learn to sew and create lovely, well made, original fashion!

Ohmigod those HAWT photos of Jack...He has a Tramp Stamp! Your Chris March looks so realistic I am expecting him to talk and you've captured Nina and Tim exquisitely! I'm going back to look more at Jack!! blushing!

Don't forget about Tim saying "Make it work." Without that last motivational push, nothing would get done. Christian is my most favorite human being ever. Ok...not quite, but he is fabulously fierce. I love that you draw all my favorite shows.

Another awesome set of illustrations... I totally agree this was an awesome episode and that Chris & Christian made a FIERCE team. =)

Fab! My only critique is that you were way too kind to Nina. Her hair is never ever that smooth. It usually looks like she brushed it with an old shoe right before the cameras start rolling. She needs to drag her skinny ass down to the TRESemme beauty room pronto. Other than that, well done!

I mostly love your drawings, but Chris's lips are off! Take a look -- he's got thin, baby lips. They're always parted, as you have it, but you can barely see the red edges. The full mouth is just not him.
Love you!

I can hear Tim saying 'skanky'. Oh yes. I can.
I love you!

Oh my god.. I love this, lol Isnt Tim just an adorable doll? I just want to give him a big hug and listen to his monotone voice all day
Posted by: Kristin | January 19, 2008 at 10:08 AM
LOVE IT. Another great post. I too was thinking of Tim Gunn and how I wish he would drop from the heavens in an impeccable outfit and have a glass of wine with me. He would be my older gay boyfriend and could teach me new words.
Dont you love/hate the way Heidi Klum says,"NinaGahcia" !?
