Let me introduce you to Summer, Mindy, Margot, Juno, Clementine and Amèlie. The Indie Heroines.

My biggest throretical piece during my Baccalaureate was a comparison between the images of teenagers of two artists: an adult that painted teens and a teen that drew comics. The painter was Simon Henwood and he was super nice to the 17 year old me.
The other day I found out about Emily Glaubinger and her work reminded me of Hemwood's a bit more on the postpostmodern side.
So I leave you in the good company of their creations...





(Simon's-Emily's-Simon's-Emily's)

You know I'm a sucker for patterns.
You know I like the world bold and colorful.
Then imagine my reaction in discovering Kehinde Wiley's art.
I know, I felt I died and went to heaven too.

... in the shape of clothing.

"Well, well, well.
The ladies are having a fun time.
I felt so sorry that quite a few of the limited edition prints were finished or about to finish, and I was missing the ladies in them. So I've gathered them all in a fabulous sort of postcard party!
These are 10 x 15 cms and have a hand-drawn back printed on them. The card I've used is 250 grs and can be drawn on for further customization!
They come lovingly packed and ready to be shipped all over the world. Who are you sending these ladies to? Where are they going to travel to?
So many stories will arise!"

I've been thinking of presenting the do's as postcards for a while and have finally got round to it.
In this way, you can now acquire a Nosideup hairdo portrait at so many different levels:

Own portrait $ 75
Limited edition prints $20
Printed Bags $15
Postcards $10

How do you like them?
Also, find Nosideup in facebook!

Here are all the totes!
They are almost all up in the shop :)

Oh yes.
They are what you think.
The Ladies (all of them) are making a comeback in unlimited edition totes.
Expect them in the shop tomorrow!

Dear all of you,
As I preparing to enter my MA, I'm trying to build a stronger Nosideup.
I've drawn a few new do's; stamped some cards; included it in my portfolio, etc.
Now, I've decided to go ahead and create a page in Facebook (you can join it here or in the box on the top right).
Even though I already had a facebook blog page, I did not have that much possibility for interaction in that one. So, if you want to join me in facebook, please do! It'll be great to have a closer feel of who you are :)



PS: Stay posted because I've got exciting news later on!

Dear everyone,
these are Liza, Nicola and Paloma (bottom to top) .
They have just moved to my Etsy shop.
Be nice to them (as you see some of them have not had that much of a good day), maybe invite them to your home?

My dear beautiful Ms S asked me for a tote with one of my ladies do's on it. Given that my life has been incredibly busy it has taken me more than a year to sit down and do it. Do you guys think I shoud add them to the shop (this one is a hand-drawn original)?

THIS GIVAWAY IS NOW CLOSED

My dear darling everyone,

Jennifer Aniston admiring the prize winning portrait of her at the first MoPA award winners' exhibition.

Undoubtly talented, although maybe they are more spectacular than sensitive, if you know what I mean. They are exceptional, but maybe the concept could be brought a bit more forward. What do you think?

Somehow, very intimate.
