BITCHES IN PRETENTIOUS PLACES

happy holidays to you and your loved ones! here is a compilation of photos that i found showing a lot of bitches in pretentious places. i like the title so much, this may go down as my favorite post without overexerting my fingers to scroll down much. i find these photos beautiful, but you know there are some true bitches in here :)

i've been back in the midwest visiting family for almost a week now and being nearer to my ohio folk has really showed me how down-to-earth and natural things are here. the following images are my homage to LA, you dirty little gem in the rough.

RIITTA IKONEN

stumbled upon RIITTA IKONEN via the lovely pinterest today. fell in love with her photography style and she makes the costumes herself! i love how her photos appear humorous, but the more you look at them and get past the wacky costumes, they become emotional.

SKETCHTRAVEL

Have you heard of Sketchtravel yet? If not, I suggest you get to know this little project. The first Sketchtravel started in October of 2006 by illustrators Gerald Guerlais and Dice Tsutsumi, and ended in November 2010. The book traveled all over the world and landed in the hands of 70 of the most talented artists in the fields of comics, illustration, and animation. I had a chance to hear the team of sketch-makers talk about the making of the first book and i was blown away by the amount of work and dedication these artists put into this project.

A new book has been started and Christophe is the first contributor! I can't wait to buy a copy of the first edition and watch the journey of the second. Check out a little making of preview below.
