Talented 18-Year-Old Girl Sews Stunning Dresses That Look Straight Out Of A Disney Movie. Angela Clayton is an eighteen-year-old costume designer from Long Island, New York. She first started sewing three years ago when she got interested in cosplay; now, Clayton attends events less often, and has evolved to focus more on original designs. Her projects can take as long as 250 hours, and Clayton once used 11 meters (12 yards) of fabric for a costume! “I hope that there is a future career that I will get out of it,” Clayton told Cosmo. “I love making costumes and I love bringing ideas to life.

If I could do that for fashion, especially for theater or film, that would be awesome…I would rather go straight into that if I can instead of spending four years at school.” More info: angelaclayton.crevado.com | doxiequeen1 (h/t: cosmo, brightside) Angela started sewing when she was just 14 “The first thing I really finished was a school uniform from an anime show when I was 14. “I was like, ‘Oh, I’ll make mine! “I continued making the costumes because I enjoyed the sewing aspect of it”

She surely knows how to gather attention and she does it again in her latest project,titled the “PlopEgg Painting Performance – a Birth of a Picture”, where Moire squeezed paint-filled eggs out of her vagina, allowing them to burst colorfully onto blank canvases below outside of Art Cologne.

According to Moire: “I’m interested in pushing boundaries through art, living and expressing my art with my body and mind while opening mental doors. It’s more than just my naked body, my vagina… a lot of people out there are reflecting and I accept when someone doesn’t understand the meaning of my art. Art is personal. When I perform I’m at one with myself, focused and calm. Via: artfido.com. Seeking Without by juliedillon on DeviantArt.

French lawmakers on Thursday adopted a bill forcing models to provide a doctor’s certificate confirming they are healthy, and magazines to label Photoshopped images as “touched up”. The bill stipulates that models must obtain a medical certificate stating that their health, “assessed in particular in terms of body mass index, is compatible with the practise of the [modelling] profession”. Breaches of the law will be punishable by up to six months imprisonment and a fine of 75,000 euros (£54,533/$82,000). The lawmakers also voted that images of models that are altered to “make the silhouette narrower or wider” should be labelled “touched up”. An earlier draft of the bill had prompted protests from the fashion industry by proposing that a minimum body mass index (a measure of body fat based on height and weight) be imposed for models.

That proposal too was excised from the text adopted by the National Assembly, or lower house of parliament, on Thursday.

Super Natural - Illustrator Marcus Williams' New Comic Book Superhero. Meet Super Natural, the badass black superhero from outer space!

The creation of Atlanta based illustrator Marcus Williams, Super Natural was originally created as a supporting character for Anthony Piper’s 'Trill League' superhero parody (pictured at the bottom of the page), and now Williams is giving this heroine her own series. In regards to the story, he says: "Super Natural is relatively new to this planet and has found herself in harsh adjustment to the ways of American culture and life. She will soon find that power breeds much more than just the ability to assert your will, but also fear and sharp critique from those that lack such power. " He also states that "her name refers to her moral stance against portraying herself as anything but a natural black woman.

This includes her appearance, her diet and her lifestyle. " By Alexander Aplerku, AFROPUNK Contributor. Atlanta-Based Illustrator Marcus Williams' League of 'Young Heroes' Take a look at comic book illustrator Marcus Williams' 'Young Heroes' poster series. The Atlanta-based artist (known for his superheroine 'Super Natural') writes: "The “Young Heroes” line exist due to multiple conversations I’ve had with black parents that come to comic conventions with their young children and complain of not having enough black or ethnic characters to introduce to their kids.

Growing up reading comics, it didn’t occur to me that these characters were not highlighted as much as other characters because I wasn’t looking for them at the time. After studying the comic industry as an adult, I understand the reasons of why this occurs and I want to make a conscious effort to create art that reflects those young individuals. In most cases, they may or may not know of all the great ethnic characters that are in comics, so I’m re-imagining those characters as “young heroes” to better connect with those young readers.

When Agnes Gund, the 77-year-old philanthropist and president emerita of the Museum of Modern Art, got the call, she thought: “That’s odd. What’s that got to do with someone like me?” When Fran Lebowitz, the 65-year-old author, got the call, she said, “I thought it was a joke.”

And when Mellody Hobson, the 46-year-old president of Ariel Investments, a $10 billion money management firm based in Chicago, got the call, she mentioned it to her husband, the filmmaker George Lucas, who raised an eyebrow and said, “Do you know what that is?” You can understand the quandaries, given that the call came from the office of the photographer Annie Leibovitz, and involved a request that each woman participate in the 2016 Pirelli calendar, the arty soft-core ode to pinups produced by the Italian tire manufacturer, shot by renowned photographers, starring supermodels, and never sold but given to an exclusive group of 20,000 “V.I.P.’s, musicians, politicians and royalty,” according to a company spokesman.

Hand-Drawn Winged Scarves That Will Turn You Into A Bird. Thanks in no small part to supportive Bored Panda’s fans and followers from a post last year, Roza Khamitova, a fashion designer in Byron Bay Australia, has expanded her line of winged scarves. In theses photos, Roza expresses her design philosophy by modeling her creations with her hand-drawn textiles laid down as a backdrop canvas. By making her scarves, shawls and wraps feel almost inseparable from the surrounding. She uses her fashion to paint a broader message of connecting one’s inner beauty and adventurous spirit with the world around. All her designs are hand drawn and then digitally printed on very fine fabrics which she sources herself on her globe-trotting adventures. More info: Etsy | shovava.com.

Sawyer DeVuyst. THE COLLECTED WORKS OF HAYAO MIYAZAKI Blu-Ray Review. Few filmmakers have the ability to make the audience emote exactly the way they want to like Hayao Miyazaki. Though his movies vary between the very child-friendly to the decidedly not, each one elicits a warm, wistful feeling of adventures of a bygone age or of times yet to come. His canon is among the most consistently wonderful of any director in history and each time you put on a Miyazaki film, you know you’re going to enter a world you won’t want to leave any time soon.

Such is the power of the man and his art. It’s well known that Miyazaki-san retired from feature filmmaking in 2013, though he contends he’s still going to make shorts and oversee the Studio Ghibli Museum in Tokyo. That means we can now look at his catalog of amazing characters and stories as a finished work. He directed 11 features, each painstakingly drawn and animated by hand by a team of talented artists—we even wrote a whole series highlighting the films’ accomplishments last year called Miyazaki Masterclass. Russian Artist Creates Surreal Photos To Illustrate Traditional Fairy Tales (Part 2) Slavic culture is immense and sometimes contradictory world of folklore, with a large number of linear and horizontal plots, characters, who are strange and paradoxical in their actions, with dual morality, which can be totally lost at some point. Artist and photographer Uldus Bakhtiozina from St.

Petersburg, Russia revamps the image of Russia’s best-loved fairy-tale characters and symbols of Russian culture through her photo project, called “RUSS LAND”. She does not simply copy illustrations with ancient Russian dress and wear the obvious kokoshnik (headdress). She refines these images, adds her own vision and value. In core of that crafting, lays analysis of Russian folklore in a different ironic way, but with all the respect to origins. The main rule is to create a picture close to its nature without using any graphic editors or retouch tools. More info: uldus.com Dragon Nature “Dragon Spirit” is evoked by the 3-headed dragon Zmey Gorynich — the most dastardly of all Russian villains. The Nigerien remake of ‘Purple Rain’ is cinematic magic. “A revolutionary story of guitars, motorcycles, cell phones – and the music of a new generation” is how director Christopher Kirkley describes his West African re-imagining of Purple Rain. Set in the Saharan city of Agadez in Niger, Akounak Tedalat Taha Tazoughai (Akounak for short) is a visually sumptuous and musically thrilling movie that works splendidly with or without the Purple Rain mythos.

But riffing on Prince’s tale locates Purple Rain’s universal heartbeat. Like the lone, nameless gunslinger in a Sergio Leone western, the central character in Kirkley’s film, musician Mdou Moctar, travels through the desert with a guitar instead of a rifle or Colt 45. And instead of a horse, he rides a motorcycle… a purple one. The gunslinger analogy is apt because guitar players in Agadez and surrounding areas battle among themselves to gain status as the fastest gun in the west, with six strings replacing six bullets. Update: WFMU radio is presenting a screening tonight (Nov. 14) of Akounak. E-Traces: Ballet Slippers That Make Drawings From The Dancer’s Movements. If you’re like me, then you may have been accused of dispensing some questionable moves in the vicinity of the dance floor.

I’ve always maintained that my critics simply couldn’t grasp the subtlety of my particular style of physical expression, and now I just may have a means of illustrating my point with an ingenious piece of wearable electronics by designer Lesia Trubat González called E-Traces. The concept of Electronic Traces is based on capturing dance movements and transforming them into visual sensations through the use of new technologies. To do this we focused on the ballet shoes themselves, which through the contact with the ground, and thanks to Lilypad Arduino technology, record the pressure and movement of the dancer’s feet and send a signal to an electronic device. A special application will then allow us to show this data graphically and even customize it to suit each user, through the different functions of this app. [via Prosthetic Knowledge]
