Welcome to Wonderland

painting the roses red!

If you have been keeping up with the Couture Shows that have taken place this week in Paris,

then you will surely recognize these illustrations.

This is my own rendition of Alexis Mabille's Spring Couture Wonderland, and while

it didn't get raving reviews the minute I saw the giant flower head-pieces I knew I had to draw them.

It's like the flower garden from Alice in Wonderland.

And yeah, maybe the clothes weren't so ground-breaking -nothing we've never seen before- it was the theatric air that gave the show a certain punch. Maybe it's just me and my love for theatrics (Yeah, that's why I loved Galliano) and perhaps that's why I look forward to the couture shows so much, because they're not just runways, they're real spectacles.

Hopefully one day I'll get to attend one.

A girl can dream...

Out with the old, in with the new.

(starring....my latest illustration)

As you may have noticed, Le Sketcherie has changed, and a little drastically. 

It was time to get out with the old and in with the new, so I decided to reinvent the blog 

and since this semester forecast is a little brighter on the all-nighters department I'll be able to 

commit more fully to the blog. 

I've spent the last couple of months working on new stuff and learning new 

things and drawing techniques. And I even have a few DIY's lined up. 

I like a lot better the new image of the blog, I feel that it appeals a lot more to me...

the color palette, my handwriting, everything. 

On the right side you'll find links to the different social networks Le Sketcherie is in...

on tumblr + pinterest you can find a daily dose of inspiration, a huge part to 

this blog because, let's be honest, inspiration is what keeps this blog running. 

(so when there's a strange lack of post you know who to blame) 

Also you can follow Le Sketcherie on twitter and like it on Facebook for updates and easy access. 

I hope you like the new blog kiddos! 

Keep posted!

Later alligators...

p.s. sorry for the bad quality pic...I'll upload better ones soon.
