I have an amazing selection of girly art eye candy to share today (after taking forever to post these!!!) The amazingly talented Photographer Jennifer Erickson contacted me a while back and asked if I would be ok with her doing some shoots based on a few pieces of mine~ I loved her portfolio and said absolutely!  Who does not want to see something like that?? Over the past few years she has shot a few inspiration shoots or tributes to some of my images and they are all so beautiful I just had to share them here with my visitors! I’ll show a few side by side just for fun and share the rest below in a gallery <3  some just go with the collection, or have small inspirations, and a few are a little more obviously inspired by pieces, can you guess which ones? Time for some Rainbow Photos ~

 

 

I even had the chance to finally meet her (along with Miss Alphabet ) after the Sanrio 50th show/ party and we had a nice day thrifting around Melrose!

You can check out more of her work online at her website or stay up to date with her clients and shoots through her fanpage

UPDATE:  She is selling a 2012 calendar right now with some of her new amazing photos!  Grab one HERE if you enjoy her work

Yes, another Mermaid post!  Since the Mermaid collab with Locketship was selling so swimmingly (HUR HUR HUR!) Miss Maria decided to take part in an amazing event, the first ever Mercon!  Yes, that’s right~ a MERMAID themed convention! I could not attend the event, but I jumped at the chance to work on a new mermaid piece to launch at the event with Locketship.  A lot of people had requested another design with a mermaid girl + her tail in the piece~  so after a bit of sketching on how to work this out so she fit cute in the circle shape of the jewelry pieces + would still be easy to see at such a small size~ I came up with this little lady:

I am really happy with how the colors came out + the fact I got that tail worked in ok! You can buy her online now through the Locketship online shop HERE in the following designs

~ ON SALE NOW!~

So anyway, Back to Mercon…  It sounded like an amazing event!  It was held in Las Vegas at the Silverton Mermaid Hotel  ( which has a 117,000 gallon Mermaid Tank! WHAAAAT!?) with vendors, fashion shows, Mermaid celebrities and the end of the day they had a really awesome mermaid pool party!  The always lovely Maria (locketship), Stephanie (Zilla), Stephiee (Dolly Beast) and Miss Bebe flew over from LA to attend the event and be adorable at the booth!

Kudos to Locketship + Mercon for the event photos! Check out the blog post by Maria on the event over at Buzznet HERE for more details and fun pics!

For this show I was stuck for a while on what exactly to paint, I just kept wanting to work on an Alice piece (yes very obvious choice I know) because I have not drawn her before!  Eventually I gave in and made my newest piece “Oh Alice” which was a lot of fun to work on.

I love locketship jewelry!  Its absolutely amazing and really grabs everyone’s attention with its fun details and layers (I own several pieces of the unicorn collection plus the kitten collection, always so much fun to wear to shows!) So naturally I was excited to help  designer/founder Maria when she said she needed some art for a “Sparkling Sea“ Mermaid Collection!  Mermaids? Um, YES PLEASE!

I set to work right away on some mermaid girls, cute little sea creatures, and a quick logo for the collection after we discussed some basic color concepts.  We decided on some Seahorses, princess octopus, a peaceful pink mermaid, and a green/blue mermaid in coral!   ** Update! I have now added a NEW purple mermaid to the set! Post featuring the new pieces will be posted soon ♥ ***

I’m so happy with how the art came out and the final pieces look so stunning!

These are just the launch pieces!  Locketship has been expanding the set to offer more choices and different price points~

Some pieces come to you in little treasure chests, HOW CUTE IS THAT!?!?!?!?! I use mine on my dresser to hold hair bands now :3
