Summer 2009 Preliminary Mood Board

    Tie Dye. Candy colors. Ballerinas. Sweets. Paint strokes. Magical. Pastels. Fantasy. Flower leigh. Sketches. Flowers. Neon. Hand-writing. Neckline. Ocean blues. Embellished girls. Paint drips. Watercolors.

Wednesdays topic will be inspiration. I always begin anything I am doing whether it be a painting, designing a website, a t-shirt, or an Illustration with lots of research. I believe if you have a clear idea of where you are going it is easier to stay focused. If I try to think in too many different directions I loose sight of my objective. The above board is full of preliminary images that I find inspiring for some paintings and t-shirts I would like to work on before summer comes.

I love the ballerina image, I have had it forever and it always reminds me of my dancing days and the beautiful costumes.

K.Mala Collection Line Sheets

Last month I had a rare opportunity for a new designer, I got to show my (small) collection of t-shirts, K.Mala Collection, at LA Market. The showroom I was in was in the historic Cooper building in Downtown LA. I really had no clue what I was doing but hey, I guess I could learn something and I did. #1 never trust other people. The sales girl at the showroom actually lost my beautiful line sheets! Only to find them rolled up in her glove box the next day, how does that happen!!??! #2 LA Market is very slow, especially in this economy. #3 Don’t let foreigners take your line sheets!! A group of people from Japan came in, asked me a couple questions in English, proceeded to closely examine my shirts and ramble on, if I only spoke their language!  And then took half my pile of line sheets! I am just waiting to see my designs to pop up in some knock off version in Asia. Anywayz…Atleast I got a couple sales and some really good contacts.

Ok. I am finally starting a blog. After countless people asking me, “what have you been up to? painting?websites? t-shirts?” This blog will be the answer to it all, along with inspiration that keeps me going. I hope to inspire others and at the same time motivate myself by putting it all out there. enjoy : )
