i'm not leaving without you

cool gaga art from draw adrian, draw... and speaking of mother monster- have you all seen the new video for "you and i" yet?

even better than the real thing

works featuring petit-point embroidery by francesco vezzoli. i'm sure much of the amazing detail is lost in these sorry little jpgs, boo... who wants to take a trip to california and check them out in person?!

laura laine

the only good article in the march nylon magazine (i was traveling, i was desperate, it was the only mag i hadn't read) was an article about fashion illustrators. a few pieces included by laura laine really struck me... i am positively in love with their dark romantic drama. these are definitely going to replace the balenciaga spring 2007 illustrations i have up on my walls currently. i really want to go on about the detail and dreaminess of her gothic wisps but i've been traveling and me brain no function no more right now...
