Bright Colors, Dancing, and Soft Fabrics!

It’s been a long, hard winter for me, so I’ve been turning inward and burrowing into my warm room-cave to hibernate with my computer and sketchbook. With all the bleak flatness of winter outside I’ve been obsessing even more over fashion instead - fabrics, silhouettes, patterns, textures, hairstyles, accessories, everything (I feel like Vince Noir

I love all of your sketches. My favorites are the clothes from Hitchcock, Stormy Weather, and the Harajuku Girls.

Thank you for all of the blog recs! I have discovered the joys of google reader so I can finally follow blogs easily. Perfect timing. :D

Thank yoooou! :D I'm glad you liked them. Drawing clothing - especially clothing outside of my personal day-to-day experience - is so much fun!

No trouble at all for the recommendations - it's the least I can do in return for all the lovely ones you post. :D Oooh, google reader, eh? I should investigate that myself. Thanks!

ps I had to look up your icon source because it looks so stone cold cool. Do you recommend that series?

Google reader is amazing. It's basically an aggregator for all of your blogs and it's super easy to use.

YES, I do. I love the main heroine: she's blunt, straight-forward, honest but emotionally unsophisticated so her interactions with others are a joy to read. I also like the unconventional takes on female friendship. Hardly anyone is a caricature--even the mean girl tormenting her has her own reasons and personality. I don't like some of the latest plot points but I really read it for the characters.

I really should make rec posts for the obscure shoujo I like. If you like Akuma to Love Song, you should also read Warau Kanoko-sama.

Wups, sorry for not responding sooner. Thanks for the recommendations! I was so goddamned in love with anime and manga as a teenager that I burnt out on it for a while and am just now trying to pick up new series (series other than my one true love Battle Angel Alita Last Order, that is). But the sheer wealth of stories out there can be so daunting! Your endorsement intrigues me and I will happily follow the orders of any future rec posts of yours. :D
