Art[s]ense: Dolce & Gabbana S/S 2013 Illustration Project Part 3

You have seen part 1 and part 2 of the Dolce & Gabbana S/S 2013 illustration project I curated for Swide and today, it is time to reveal part 3.

This segment is all about the realistic side of the collection and I have invited Pippa McManus, Spiros Halaris and Olga Weber to work on some illustrations. The result is very stunning and I think these 3 artists are good fits for this project.

Now please head to Swide and read how the artists think of the collection and after that, visit Draw A Dot. to read how I feel about these illustrations (and there is one surprise there for you too, so don't miss it!)

Stay tuned for the last part of this project, which will be coming up soon!

Art[s]ense: Swide Top 5 2012

There are only few days left for 2012 and today, I want to share with you my favourite articles of this year on Swide.

Gerardo Lerrea

Gerardo was the first artist I featured in 2012. His works are always so whimsical, which really bring a smile to me all the time. I am also happy for him that he has won the Gucci Cut & Craft project in this year.

Ignasi Monreal

I honestly cannot get enough of Monreal's works. Everytime I look at his illustrations, I will feel like I am inside Monreal's fashion fantasy land. I would love to collaborate with him in the future to create some creative fashion projects!

Joshua David McKenney

Joshua's illustrations are always so dark, yet beautiful. Recently the artist has also developed a doll line called Pidgin. If you are a creative artist and want to design an outfit for Pidgin, then feel free to enter this competition.

Pippa McManus

There is always something special about Pippa's girls. They are alway so elegant, and I always feel like each illustration is telling a story of each of the girls. At this moment, I am just hoping she will finish the Vogue illustration project so I can look at the entire issue in illustration form.

Jolene Lai

Jolene's girls are dark and I always feel like each girl has a very emotional story to tell to the viewers. I remember when I first looked at the illustrations, all I could think of was her girls were liquify and mysterious. I can't wait to see what she will be producing next year!

My column will start off with a bang in 2013 and if you want to read more about these top 5 entries, you can click here to read my comments on Swide.

Art[s]ense: Pippa McManus

I have been in love with Pippa McManus for quite some time now because the girls she illustrated are very unique and full of characters. They are sexy, fashion forward and elegant. This week, I was lucky enough to interview her and you really should read this article to see more of her amazing works. I am totally in love with her Dolce & Gabbana F/W 2012 illustrations. Stay tuned because this interview has a part 2 and I promise you will love what you see next.
