SPECIAL RECORDS

This is a painting I made for my friend Felicia. I think it was a "You're going off to college!" present.

I've been having the urge to paint lately, and I have a lot of ideas floating around in my head that it must explode onto paper/canvas/toilet paper soon. Maybe it's my internship that has given me this blast of creativity. Everything I see, I want to transform and translate into my own language of art. It's a beautiful thing this feeling.

P.S. The weather has been consecutively perfect for more than a week now. =D

BCBG

I just started my internship at BCBG in LA and although the drive is a bit of a pain from Irvine, I must say...it is AWESOME! Just being in that environment just inspires me like never before. AND believe it or not, I was actually in the same room as Max Azria and Lubov Azria! Insane!

I am working with the runway group in the design department. Today, I was able to go into fabric storage and it was like I was a kid in a candy store. Everything is new and exciting, even the mundane things like boxing up shoes and organizing drafts and swatches into a binder. I get to see everything, hear everything, and I'm like a sponge taking it all in. I'm so sure I'll learn a lot during this internship and I'll be able to improve myself tremendously.

ON THE CATWALK

IT'S JUST NOT WORKING

Keeping up with blogs is hard work. I just don't think I'm fit for this job. I've been wanting to do a post on all of my sketches and pictures of my models from the show, but I haven't gotten around to scanning my sketch book. Finals' week is not helping with this issue either.

Here's something special though. I work at the UCI Communications Office, and I got a chance to work with the department in doing a feature on the fashion show. My 5-minutes of fame on the UCI homepage. Watch the video clip too!
