Another city landscape to the collection, this one of the Chez L'ami Louis in Paris. I am really loving the process of creating this type of art, and it brings a bit of variety to the fashion illustrations. Hope you like it and hope your staying a bit cooler than I, it has been scorching, melting, blood boiling (okay maybe not that hot) hot here in Denver the past few days. All about the hair up and flip flops at this point. Etsy xo Tweet
Finally a post! I have been horrible this past few weeks, but summer vacation is on and keeping me challenged with getting things done. I seem to go through spurts where I have it all figured out and then I am chasing my tail so to speak on other days. Regardless just have to keep moving :)
I hope your weekend is going well xo
*Note Original Sold but you can still get prints in my shop. Tweet
A ton of photos this week, I have a hard time narrowing them down sometimes. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and Fathers Day. See you all tomorrow for #Music Monday. xo Tweet
I came across a few things Italian this past week so felt inspired to create from it. First was this painting that I really loved working on which was inspired from Miuccia Prada and Patrizio Bertelli. They purchased this 18th century Palazzo that will hold their extensive and amazing art collection for the Prada Foundation, you can read about it more over at Vanity Fair.. So amazing and thought I would give my touch and style to it and add to my City series of paintings. Which you can grab here
Also I came across this photo below from browsing Bryan Boy's blog and instantly thought of my Mom, as she love's (who doesn't) Italy and her nickname is Gilly. And I related to Bryan on his post on taking time for himself especially with all that he has going on, but my Mom and I are so alike in that sense of how we also need to have our alone times. I savor it! And now that I know that restaurant exsits, it is a perfect excuse to take a Mother/Daughter trip to Venice... Si!!
Here is some more Italian treats to continue the mood and hope your having a wonderful weekend! xo Umberto Tozzi - Ti Amo

Another Alexander McQueen inspired piece for you guys, this one was from an editorial in Vogue 2008 with Sasha Pivovarova, adore her features and of course adore McQueen!
I hope your all having a wonderful weekend! I have been setting up the new office and now that I am almost done, I am ready to get the ball rolling again which I thought I would do with some vintage prints. It has been awhile since I have posted any new ones, I seriously have so many to go through, hundreds.. (candy for me) And with it being the start of summer thought some more beach themed ones would be a perfect start. Both are available in my Etsy shop.
Thank you as well for all of your sweet comments below on my collaboration with Lady Gaga and Etsy. That was so fabulous for me and for a great cause so definitely enjoying the moment that it is :) Tweet
