My Choo.
So my homework this week was to draw a shoe. I, of course, drew my Jimmy Choos. That's the most use and wear I've gotten out of them since the two years I've owned them. If only I had a trust fund to whittle away on Choos & Manolos - but alas, I don't, so these get an almost mythic status in my shoe cupboard. I bought them during my senior year of college, after I received my first scholarship check for teaching photography to fourth graders. Priorities, I know. And I'd totally make the same choice again.
This was so much fun to draw, and reminds me of my Story of Shoes project I started last summer. I might initiate a revival in my sketchbook (as if I don't have enough projects already).

Bloom Where You're Planted
On top of all my summer goals (including 30 stories in 30 days on Anthologie), I'm also starting my first sketchbook series. Since I suck at drawing feet and shoes, I'm going to draw all my shoes and write each one's brief history. The project will be called "The Story of Shoes" and documented here.
Lately I've just been so inspired by all the great blogs and resources by (and for) illustrators out there. Check out DrawAnyway.com and the Illustration Friday Blog for some inspiration.
Now I've got to delve into the deliciously thick pile of books I checked out from the library today, including Jeffrey Yamaguchi's 52 Projects. Reviews soon. Or join me on GoodReads.Labels: arts+crafts, books, photolog, the story of shoes
