Re:Up Handmade + Happy New Year!

So it's taken too long to finally post some of these new wallets up. There was a batch of Kate Moss wallets that I was never able to post as the majority sold out before I could get them online. A proper photo shoot is in order for me to update my Etsy with these new wallets but here's an idea of what I'll have for sale.

Also, HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2013 was a great year of change for me. I was able to have a lot of personal and creative down time for myself and was finally able to make a major move to Los Angeles. Here's to 2014! Make your dreams come true! :)

Hyrule

This Halloween my friend Emily wanted to be Link from Zelda and asked me to create her childhood dream accessory; Link's cap.

Here's a side view shot:

 And here's an action shot of her and Spidey:

 

She was meant to be Link.

Materials: microfiber suede (I'd love to make this again using real suede)

Process

Here's a shot of my process in creating some images for my friends over at Tipsy Zine. This was part of an article printed in their first issue which you can purchase here.

Here's the finished product:

Also, it's been a while since anything recent has been posted but I've got some projects in mind and a new batch of wallets to post here soon. Stay tuned.

Here's a continuation of my Cabaret Futuro post with the technical sketches created for the full collection. I love the pen tool.

Past to Present

I've had a bad habit of not properly documenting my work, so here's a little post showing a small variety of pieces I've made from past to present...

Hand Signs

It's been a while, and I've recently relocated to the West Coast so thought it was time to do a little bit of updating.

Here are the finished patches from my previous post:
