Louis Vuitton spring/summer 2012 Illustration

So as some of you may know Marc Jacob's spun pastel & cotton candy looks out of a carrousel at the Louis Vuitton s/s 2012 runway show. The oversized eyelet collars are what won me over at first, but the entire collection is very dreamy (sweet dreams I might add). I did this illustration of one of my favorite looks from the season and added the colour with gouache.

Purple Purse ~ Sketchbook Series

Here is something a little different to throw into my mix of pen drawings. First difference is that it is not a model (actually I have no idea who she is) & I added some colour. Just trying to keep you all on your toes in the new year. 

Toast to a New Year

Lets have a toast to a new year. This past year has been fairly eventful in the life of Reubenvision both in the blog and personal realm. It has not been without its ups & downs. 

None of us are sure of tomorrow so lets take this a day at a time.

Be on the look out for some changes in 2012:

I am currently working on a new design for the blog

I am planning on posting my art much more frequently

I will be trying to push my limits with projects (grander scales and more hours)

also be on the look out for some DIY projects and such 

but for now Happy New Year! all the best for 2012

Dancing Along in DKNY

I was working on my Christmas card designs today & thought I would take a fashionable break. After browsing through the catwalk line-up from Donna Karan's latest collection, I decided to give this playful number a whirl on the sketch page. Gathering inspiration from Haiti DKNY has done a splendid job on their collection for spring/summer 2012. 

Hope you are all having a lovely weekend. 

Prada Spring/Summer 2012

A little bit of a fun twist on my usual runway look drawings. Prada's most recent "car culture" inspired show was pretty interesting but not as quick a sell for me, as her usual work is.

Diane von Furstenberg spring/summer 2012

Jacquelyn Jablonski as seen in a look from Diane von Furstenberg's latest spring/summer collection. DVF had a great wearable catwalk show. A very strong & positive line to be viewed on sept. 11th 2011.

I also love how the hair was styled for this show. 

Rag & Bone spring/summer 2012

Karolina Kurkova as seen in Rag & Bone's latest fashion show for spring/summer 2012.

This was one of my favorite looks from a show filled with a great mix of sport-wear & tailored coats.
