Disney Princesses in accurate fashion

01/16/2013 by chicquero

Claire Hummel was born and raised in the quiet hamlet of Los Angeles, California. She is currently working as an artist for Microsoft Game Studios Publishing. Claire gravitates naturally towards anything having to do with her childhood haunts of Disneyland, Myst, national parks, museums, and Hawai’i, thus ensuring a lifetime interest in nostalgic escapism. She also has an extensive, practical knowledge of period costuming and snakes, in case you’re into that sort of thing. Most of the world seems familiar with […]

Zombie Portraits

10/15/2012 by chicquero

Nice portraits of zombified famous characters by Andre De Freitas, photographer and illustrator from Lima, Peru. Freitas studied in Full Sail University and got a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Animation. But oddly enough, the concept of stillness captured his imagination, and he focused more on illustration. Instead of just drawing, he tried to imagine himself taking photos of his subjects. That way the illusion of stillness would be a little more believable, almost like a photograph. After that, his insertion into the world of […]

Hypersonic soundsuits

01/31/2012 by chicquero

Nick Cave‘s amazing creations are part Alexander McQueen, part Andy Warhol and wholly irreverent and beautiful. He combines elements of sound, performance, color and costume to create works that even the darkest soul would find hard to resist and quite interesting. With over 50 suits displayed (surreal textiles that he wears while modern dancing), it does feels like another world. Cave uses found materials to create the suits and they range from the natural (twigs or birds) to the highly ornamental […]

Trick or treat? Trick!

10/31/2011 by chicquero

Tim Burton’s Magical Fashion Halloween, a contraction of All-Hallows-Eve, is an annual festival observed on October 31. Some cool traditions such as “trick or treating”, costume parties, and carving lanterns from real pumpkins which are now cultivated specially for this purpose. (Check it out the post about the Art of Pumpkin carving). I love this fabulous, creepy shoot directed by Tim Burton (Tim’s website is fantastic), and shot by the great photographer Tim Walker. Can’t go wrong with a double, surreal dose […]

Super ego, alter hero!

10/08/2011 by chicquero

Diana Prince after Wonder Woman’s alter-ego. Photographer Johanna Brinckman brings us a shoot that’s as bright and pop-art like as the original Wonder Woman comic. Brinkman’s shoot is all about fun fashion and beauty looks fit for a superhero. An alter ego (the other I) is a second self, a second personality within a person, who is often oblivious to the persona’s actions. A person with an alter ego is said to lead a double life. Diana Prince is a fictional character, appearing regularly in stories published by DC Comics and serves as […]
