I'm absolutely amazed by the work of Katja Gruijters. Katja terms herself a "food designer" who is fascinated by the material of food and drink and the desire associated with it. This has resulted in some beautiful experiments and products, I especially like the apple and chocolate tiles.
We don't have J.Crew over here in the UK but I'm pretty sure I'd be snapping up these beauties if we did. I can't get over the colour in the first jacket...so lovely, I'd be wearing it with skinny jeans, oversized shirt and my brogues. Mmm
One thing my tutors always seemed to have trouble getting me to do was loosen up my drawing style...I don't know whether that was a conscious thing or not, my style always seemed to have been small and detailed. But I'm starting to feel like I should open up my drawing a bit so I've been playing around with new materials and drawing styles I haven't used for at least a couple of years. What do you think? Constructive criticism is always welcome (no angry replies from me, guaranteed!) Drawings from Alexander Wang Spring/Summer 08, New York
Since getting my Gocco and inks (the last of which arrived this morning) I've been thinking about printing up some patterns I've been working on. Except I'm too afraid to go near my Gocco for fear of it all going wrong. Any advice out there for a Gocco novice?
