IAAG

Onto my newest project! IAAG!
IAAG stands for Interactive Alternative Art Gallery. If you check out the link I've posted you'll see what it's all about but I'll describe it in a few words. Basically this is started by a collective of alternative artists (alternative art being: graphic design, graffiti, music, tattoo art etc.). Each month we will have a different show with a different theme, put on at a venue. It will be a ticketed event with donations and lot's of fun! The basic idea is to get alternative artists some exposure, as there is not much of that going on for them. Alternative art wouldn't be found in a regular art gallery, so IAAG will help provide that exposure and really help out artists in the community! I've been working with Enigma Agency on this project. (Lexi's idea!)
I've been designing some things for IAAG, such as the logo, so I'll show that to you!
Lexi wanted something a bit futuristic and modern, and this is what we came up with together.
I really like how it turned out, any comments? :) 
Also if you haven't checked out IAAG yet.. you probably should! It's going to be the next big art event in Hamilton, ON!

Corset Top Recon

I haven't posted in a while, been workin' on graphics at ACTUAL work now. Haven't got the gumption to do more in my spare time.
BUT I have been creating clothes.
The past weekend I went to a Pimp N Ho costume party. Embarrassing, I know. Haha. I knew the perfect shirt I could use for it though. I had been working on the shirt for a long while and never got around to finishing it until now!
WOO
So check out what I've created. Here's the before pictures.

This is the horrible 80s dress it started out as, with my sister as the model. She actually got some use for this dress as well. (She went to a party that was themed 80s prom!)

This is the top of the shirt after I had cut the bottom skirt part off. A little easier to see. 

And here's the final product. The front of the corset.

The back of the corset. Created with elastics and buttons for extra hold and comfiness!

And finally the shirt on me! 

It fit real nice and I was able to wear this shirt (along with some more ho-ish items lol) to the party.
What do you think??
