CREATIVE SPOTLIGHT: Woman. Women.

Happy (belated) international women's day! This is to all the women out there; the strong, confident, the independent, the mothers, the daughters, the warriors, and the fighters. We are all a fantastically powerful force to be reckoned with and frankly we deserve more than a day but this nevertheless this is a start...

Below are some beautiful images that have been in my Insta moodboard for the last year or so and I could literally spend all day just staring at each of them. These photos have no chronological order, nor any relation to the other - they just feature some stunning women in the media (some fictitious, others not) and I thought on this occasion we could just appreciate them.

MODEL OF THE MOMENT: Kaia Gerber

Holy ****! How absolutely stunning is IMG model Kaia Gerber. Admittedly, I do believe that Kaia has been on the scene a while now however, she is new to me...and currently I feel obsessed. Those who know her, will probably know her as the famous icon, Cindy Crawford's daughter and at just 16, she's got a pretty damn impressive portfolio.

The images below were all shot for the upcoming Spring edition of the LOVE magazine and I just cannot get over them. Photographed by one of my favourite duos: Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott - who just seem to do no wrong, I mean seriously....

ILLUSTRATION: Sam Chapman. Revised.

Post uni, I finally had some long overdue time to myself...which is a strange concept now thinking about it. Whilst I still had time to draw during my final year (-and created some fashion illustrations I still consider my best work), it's, for me, being able to differentiate between drawing for yourself as a hobby and a drawing that's considered work. The difference, being the pressure of producing something worthwhile, representative of a theme/season/idea, and time constraints, which is never the case when it's a hobby.

So my muse: Samantha Chapman. No there's not really some deep, meaningful intent behind this artwork. I just enjoy her Youtube videos, her carefree, artistic style and frankly, her devil-may-care attitude when it comes to - I quote- 'slagging off' things she simply doesn't agree with.
