Hello friends!!
well, Here are the full set of images that i made for my What's Contemporary issue!
I know the Collages are alot different from my usually but i really like it them.
Please go to whatscontemporary.com/dannyroberts to see the issue.
and let me know what you think, i hope you like them :)
Well, it's finally here!
My What's Contemporary issue is finally up!
I will wait to post the rest of the images tomorrow, but you can check out the full issue up at www.whatscontemporary.com.
All the images in the collages were made out of portions I sampled from different currencies from all over the world, as well as scans I made of old family photos my mom inherited when my grandma died a few years ago. It was a really special experience going through the photo's and incorporating them into my pictures. The image above is of my aunt when she was a little girl and when she was in high school. The Full concept is up on the site. I really hope you like it! Let me know what you think :)
Hey Friends, how was your weekend?
Ours was great. We decorated for Christmas with friends today.
I still can't believe Christmas is only a week away.
I thought i would post the cover i did for Orange County based Riviera Magazine.
It was fun to do something with a magazine in my home town.
Also, tomorrow my issue of What's Contemporary comes out!
I'm really, really, really, really excited for you all to see it.
It's a lot different than my usual, and it's a really personal magazine issue.
So, can't wait to share that with you tomorrow.
I hope you are doing great.
Hey Friends.
Thanks for tuning in yesterday! It's starting to come around, huh? Well, we just picked up our Christmas tree tonight and made some hot chocolate! I am starting to get really excited for Christmas. The drawing today is an outfit design I did for my "What's Contemporary" Collection. I really like how it turned out. It has kind of an old Vogue feel to it, don't you think?
Will be painting Live today at 12:30pm pst.
Below is the my playlist for today, if you want to listen along. :)
Valentino F/W 11.12 Ad Campaign
Models: Caroline Brasch Nielsen & Monika "Jac" Jagaciak
Photographer: David Sims
Stylist: Karl Templer
Hey friends, how was your weekend?
Mine was good. Had another Fringe weekend.
Also, worked a little on a project that will be released in a week or so.
I'm so excited for you to see it. It is seriously unlike anything i have ever done before.
I think the project is released next Monday. :)
The painting today is of a Valentino ad i saw in Vogue.
It's kinda funny how i ended up seeing the ad.
My mom bought a issue of Vogue because my friend Julia Frakes was in it,
and when i was looking through the magazine, this Valentino ad really stood out to me as something that would be fun to paint.
What do you think?
Also, i will be doing another live painting on Ustream tomorrow, Monday, December 12, at 12:30pm PST.
I will be adding another layer to the under painting.
Should be painting for 3 to 4 hours. Hope to see you then ;)
Images by Pierre Joseph Redoute. The rest of the images i don't know who did them but if you do i would love to know! :)
Hey Friends!
Happy inspiration Friday! We finally made it through another week! ... A freezing week, i might add. This week's inspiration Friday vibe is a sort of Romantic journey, where time seems to stand still as you're walking in and out of universes playing hide and seek! I hope it inspires you today ;)
On a different note, I decided to continue painting the 4' by 3' oil painting i'm working on all on Ustream. So i will try to each week paint the different layers for you. But i saw a lot of you had trouble because of the time difference watching it. Is there a good time for me to do the next one? I'm thinking of doing it this coming up Monday (December 12), at either 10am or 2pm PST and i would paint for 3 or 4 hours.
Hi everyone! Thanks so much to everyone who tuned in yesterday to watch the live stream of me painting! It was really fun for me to share that with you and I hope you all enjoyed it. :) If you missed it, I'm thinking of continuing to stream the progress of that painting as I go along with it. It sounded like some of you weren't able to view it because of the time of day. Any suggestions on when I stream the next bit? Just let me know. So the drawing today is of Claudia Devlin. I first saw a picture of her on Tumblr and really loved it! This painting drawing is inspired by a picture of her I found on Premier Model Management's website. When I first found it I really thought she had a great look and thought I would do a quick sketch of it. I hope you like it! :)
Thanks to everyone for tuning in! We hope you enjoyed the live painting! Here is how it turned out so far. We hope you like it!
Hey Friends, sorry i wasn't able to get the ustream up today.
The initial sketch on the wood took way longer than i thought it would.
So i guess we will have to do it tomorrow (Tuesday, December 6th) at 2 p.m. PST. ;)
The portrait today is of my good friend, Satoru Sugimoto.
Satoru was the man who put our trip to Tokyo together.
He was seriously one of the biggest highlights of the trip for us.
Such a fun and kind person. I did this portrait of him right after our trip. i thought you would like it. :)
Hope you're having a great night, and see you tomorrow.
Got to do some baking tonight ;)
Hey Friends,
Change of plans! The prep work ended up taking a little too long. Will go live today(Tuesday December 6th) at 2 p.m. PST for the painting. Hope to see you then!
Hello Friends, How was your weekend? Mine was wonderful. We basically hung out all weekend watching the first Season of the TV show, Fringe. I forgot how good that season was. Well, the sketch today is a super duper rough draft sketch i did for an oil painting i want to start tomorrow. The sketch is inspired by Andreas Öhlund's photo of Mona Johannesson and Bo Deveilus for Stockholm S/S/A/W. I was thinking of possibly Live Ustreaming me painting tomorrow. I'm not sure if it would be too boring for yawl. hah. Let me know if it is something you would like, cause I will need to pick up my studio for it. It's a complete mess right now! Well, I hope you're having a great night. :)
Pictures by Steven Klein, Sofia Sanchez and Mauro Mongiello, and i'm not sure who took the other two pictures.
Happy Inspiration Friday!
How was your week? I don't know if i am the only person who feels like this, but did this week feel really long? I'm so tired today. I feel like i have been moving in slow motion. On a positive note, I finally got an Inspiration Friday post up. I just realized how long since i posted an inspiration Friday post. i planned the next four weeks of Inspiration Friday posts. It basically took me all day to lay them out, but I really like how they turned out. I hope you like the pictures. :)
Well, I got to get going, cause i completely forgot to order the pizza!
I hope you're having a great day.
