SoI Fashion Night

Drawings from the Society of illustrators fashion drawing night. Loved these models, Pearl and Devin!

Boylesque

Great models from “Boylesque” #burlesque at the Society of Illustrators. And some bizarre costumes that were so fun to draw... Thank you, @companyxiv @markozzie @ianspring @zanepilhstromdesigns @aekieren

Dance!

Loved drawing the "Dance Odyssey with Arielle",  one of Society of Illustrator's weekly Sketch Nights. The dancers gracefully transformed moods and graphics through several costume changes,  moving from Ballet to Tango, from Waltz to Modern. It was truly beautiful.

Another fun drawing experience at The Society Of Illustrators, this time the Tuesday Sketch Night, with two nude models.

Veronica Lawlor and Margaret Hurst were drawing there as well, so keep an eye on One Drawing a Day blog to see their beautiful art from this evening!

Scooter LaForge Fashion

Last Thursday, April 2nd, I went to the Society of Illustrators for their weekly Thursday Sketch Night, hosted by fashion illustrator Bil Donovan, and it happened to be "An Evening with Scooter LaForge", modeled by Arielle Harp and Kendall Weber (aka Sailor Moon). Scooter was on the model stand as well, for one pose. Here he is!

Scooter LaForge

We were told to look out for next week's Jimmy Fallon show with Madonna's performance: Scooter LaForge is dressing her back-up dancers, and this was a sneak peak of the clothing he's creating. I was so excited to draw, and my favorite accessory was this huge blue eye ball on a stick, covered with glittering spangles. I loved the graphics and shapes of Scooter's mish-mash-scribbly-patched-layered-torn-glittered-leather-plad aesthetics, which Ronnie (Veronica Lawlor) described as "gritty funkiness of the 1980s East Village". Check out her drawings in this eloquent post.  Also, look for Despina Geordiadis and Greg Betza posts with drawings of the event as well. At the end of the night, as Scooter, Sailor Moon, Ronnie and I were stuck on the subway platform waiting for the F for forever, we talked about our love of Picasso and Matisse, among other things. Scooter was holding a big black trash bag. With costumes. Just like that.
