Lulu

Shot of my sister Lulu that I took for a painting. Sorry that things have been quiet around here – I’m wrapping up the semester and I have exactly a million and one projects due over the next couple of weeks.

You can’t ever go wrong with a silk pocket blouse and a topknot.


Girls and Boys

Happy November, everyone! I’ve got so much to share with you guys – my Halloween costume, paintings, and so much more. For the moment, here are some outfit photos, again taken by my lovely sister. I wore this outfit to Northpark to see the amazing Garance Doré at Neiman’s! (P.S. She’s perfect) (P.P.S. Sorry for the weird halo around some of the images – I guess the camera is dirty!)

Pretty Princess

My twin sister was such a good sport throughout this shoot – never once complaining when I glued Lana Del Rey nails on her hands, clipped toddler jewelry on her head, and smeared pounds of makeup on her face. I can’t believe I get to call this homework!

For my latest project, I’m continuing an exploration of femininity, but this time through a more humorous, unapologetic consumerist lens. Shooting these in the super overcast weather that we had this weekend was quite a hassle, and a reminder that I’m in terrible need of a camera upgrade. Other disappointments included discovering that ring pops are the most disgusting candy ever (nowhere near as good as I remember) and that the board game Pretty Pretty Princess apparently no longer exists (or is, at least, impossible to find). Now here’s to hoping that these look half as nice in print as they do on my screen!

Hopefully I’ll have a proper outfit post soon, but until then, enjoy this preview of what I’ve been up to lately!


See Creatures on Instagram

I’m incredibly sorry for the absence! My sister (the one who helps me take photos) and I have dramatically different schedules, so organizing photoshoots since the end of summer has been incredibly difficult. I’m hoping to get something up soon, but until then, feel free to follow me on Instagram @seecreatures!

My Madewell Barnwood boots. I wear these almost every day.

Hope you are all doing well!


Animation for Adults: Fantastic Planet

About a year ago I wrote an article on animation for adults — that is, animated shorts, films, and series with mature appeal. Although I love children’s shows and movies, I’m always on the lookout for things made for an older audience. So when my friend posted the trailer for the French movie, Fantastic Planet (1973, René Laloux) on my Facebook wall, I knew I was going to love it.
