"Sweet As Candy"

I always feel a bit giddy when I finish a pin up. Sort of like the feeling I've made some significant change in my appearance and I'm debuting for the first time. Maybe that's too serious of an analogy. It's like sharing a secret I've been keeping. I've found the basis of some of my happiness and it's portraying happy ladies!

I've always been infatuated with the See's Candy™ uniforms. Ever since I was young. Each holiday season I've been tempted to put in an application to work there purely for the cute uniforms. I found a black shirt-dress at Kohls several months ago that resembled a See's uniform, but very simple. I was so excited I took a bunch of photos in it. Yeah, I was teased mercilessly, but I'm totally ok with that.

IF - Voices

I was unsure of how to illustrate the topic, when I stared down at the piece I was working on as a gift and had and *aha* moment.
I did a portrait of Leslie Hall of Leslie and the Ly's fame. And if you've ever heard her music, you'd understand Voices.
She makes me feel warm and giggly inside.
