{inspiration} *lorick

my friend clara directed me to lorick a couple weeks ago. so glad she did - this clothing line + the site are right up my ally. love love love it! check it out if you get a sec.

{inspiration} *liza minnelli

found these cool old shots of liza minnelli taken by andy worhol. i dig the shades of red, contoured make-up, + her huge doe eyes.

some of the beauties that surround me. please view more on my flickr + add me as a contact if you can.

{inspiration} the powder group

my close friend + fellow make-up stylist kat sterrett reminded me the powder group was having a make-up artist summit this weekend in chicago - my own back yard. it's been a couple years since i've had the opportunity to attend one of their events so i jumped on it. these industry leaders inspire + create strong community amongst other make-up artists. so fun connecting with tpg founder michael devellis, media expert kathy aragon, yaby founder/artist liz yu , fellow vancouver native artist + agency owner jon hennessey + finally, the kindly kindred familiar face of david klasfeld creator of the clever cosmetic line occ. surrounding myself with such positive talented people gave me just the boost i needed - reminds me why i love my profession much. fun fun!

{art} *harold lee miller

it's been around 5 years since i started working with harold. i've been able to take part in quite a few of his self assignment photo essays. it's fun to watch - he works with great conviction + commitment to his stories. these are few of many of his shots that graced the pages of communication arts.
