anything brushy or sketchy or unfinished will always catch my eye.

I love this one because it is a painting of two actors. I know a lot of actors, and it feels exactly like a candid taken backstage in costume of two dudes clowning around.

Check out the Yale British collection for some Georgian Hunks! 10/10 well turned calves, faces brimming with sentimentality and erudition

"a female book-stealing demon" look, first of all

MORE RENAISSANCE FAIRE TOMFOOLERY, this time a little corset belt for my friend, made out of a favorite pair of pants that finally gave up the ghost. But textiles don't get out of further work that easy in this house, they'll stay out of the landfill for years to come in this incarnation!

Ball fringe is the easiest shortcut to maximum whimsy, I find.

Dawn-themed Renfaire costume in progress, very little attention to historicity, just going on vibes and responding to stuff I find in salvage or in my stash.

do you ever do hours of visual research to figure out what the age gap was between these guys and what period they were at the Vatican together and then what st peter's square looked like in 1510 etc etc before even starting a 2 page comic

Crazy that LA is real and not just something they made up for movies

one thing about me, I love a goop dessert

I'm gonna be honest this has become one of my go-to outfits (sans fanny pack) he really popped off with this one

Designs by Anna-Alisa Belous, set by Torry Bend, lights by Bill Webb. Play by David Ives, after Corneille.

I built the purple bodice as well but in sort of a sprint so I don't have progress photos! My good friend Will built the menswear, and we fit and embellished it in my shop. My students worked so hard on this show, so many buttons and trims and lots of new techniques!

Oh yeah, I finished it, btw. And the show opened, and closed, and was very fun and silly.

Learned how to do a couture method interlining to conceal the lines of the boning for this dress!

Side order of tailoring with your dressmaking, monsieur?

tools of the trade, truing post-fitting. That side front panel is goofy as hell.

this is an incredibly funny statistic though

fitting tomfoolery, doing some very non-regulation darts to a clockworkfaerie pattern to make it work with off-shoulder Cavalier straps 😅 there's a reason I don't do SCA, I am a theater cowboy through and through. If it works, it's right.

think I might FINALLY be beginning to understand how gouache works--just filling in an old sketch, but really trying to work lean to fat, building the light and shadow areas in isolation and then blending them. I'm especially proud of that velvety area around the cheek, and the modeling of the lips.
