inspiration collage: henri bendel sketches

it's a dreary day. the kind of day when you want to stay in your jammies all day. there are raindrops on my window. a flight of birds have just flitted across the gray skies. on days like this, nothing cheers me up more than doing something fun and creative indoors. it's like when i was a kid: i would get super ecstatic about rainy days because it meant that i could play board games like scrabble and trivial pursuit inside the cafeteria. something about playing indoors seemed to make our lunch and recess times longer than usual.

today, instead of playing scrabble or trivial pursuit [no one to play with .. too bad], i think i am going to dust off my sketch book. i have a new idea for the website, and i need to start sharpening my drawing skills again. ok, my very rudimentary drawing skills, that is! still, it makes me happy.

i've been inspired by these beautiful watercolor sketches from henri bendel found on their website. their iconic fashion drawings have always combined the right amount of whimsy and fun with an element of super-chic. the artist of these drawings, if i can make out the signature, is "izak." i'm lovin it~
