Well hello there. Next month's theme is IMITATION. We're looking for written and visual work that has to do with mimicry, replication, re-enactment, dramatization, novelization, repetition. Not to mention: camouflage, fakes, counterfeits, “authenticity,” “reality.” Send your stuff here, and thanks. ♥
I love how Rookie uses models that aren’t necessarily classically beautiful. Another excellent photo shoot.

faux style.
Log in to replyoh, if i could get my hands on Meadham Kirschhoff. I just wrote a post about how inspired I am by this collections and cupcakes and hearts and children in general! What a coinky-dink, rookie! (the fact that I use words like coinky-dink makes me charming right?)

Hello elle! Love your work! Just wanted to know how you get the photos for your inspiration board? Do you just print them out or do you get them printed at a store? Thanks!
Log in to replythanks! i just cut things from magazines and print pictures out on my rubbishy home printer mostly. sometimes i stick in polaroids or family photos too! and then i do all the paintings myself.
