Life Envy vol.3

I have written about Natalia Fabia in a previous post, she's a darling oil painter whose works blow me away. I wish she would have an exhibition over here... I've found a few pictures of her house which I love. It's quirky and cluttered and acts as her studio/work space. I love that she has her studio off from her bedroom because she works late at night then stumbles into bed covered in paint. Which is something I love to do when i'm being creative. I'm a total clutter bug so I can see myself living here. Oh I know it's tacky as hell but I think it's hilarious that she has pictures of people on the toilet above her toilet.

All pics from here.

Expect the first which is scanned from Inked magazine.

Natalia Fabia

Natalia is just darling. I fell in love with her work after seeing her work in the August 09 issue of Juxtapose magazine. She is constantly popping up in photographs that I love. (see here and here)

Her oil paintings depict sassy young tattooed creatures in the greatest of detail. She surrounds herself with colourful personalities, artists, pin ups, burleque dancers and strong sexy women who are the subjects of her paintings. These small images don't do these works justice.

I love that she uses glitter in her pieces!

Her website is here but I can't get it to work on my computer.

Pics from here and here.

Cotton Candy

So I woke up this morning feeling a little worse for wear. Last night I went down to Sydney for a friends surprise birthday... and for some reason all I can think about is having pink hair. Once upon a time I dyed my hair every colour of the rainbow. That's changed now because it was such a long battle to get my hair back to blonde, i'm now frightened to change it. I tried to ignore my cotton candy coloured urges but I couldn't get a lift to derby training today and ended up searching pink hair on weheartit.com instead. The pics above is what I want... especially the third one! Help anyone?

Darla Teagarden

I've had a folder of images from this lovely lady on my computer for a long time now that I look to for inspiration from time to time. I'm a sucker for details so photography that uses props and hand painted backgrounds instead of photoshopping every detail in really moves me.

Miss Darla Teagarden creates her dreamy images with props and costumes she made by hand. Her resume will make most of us jealous... pin-up and fetish model, makeup artist, writer, cabaret dancer and vintage clothing buyer just to name a few.

So here's a bunch of her photos. I hope they inspire you the way they inspire me.

All pics were taken from here.

Her blog is worth a look too!

If you like these pics you will enjoy these also.
