i as a painting

the first photo was taken when my sister and i put together a photo shoot inspired by marcjacobs fashion advertisements. we used pearliss the cockatiel as a live prop. this picture was meant to be very basic and simple. no makeup, bizarre outfits, spontaneous posing, and very natural facial expressions. oh, and bed hair. the concept of the picture and photo shoot was entertaining to put to reality. also, we had modeled in front of a pure white wall which surprisingly produced a natural lomo-esque vignette look.

the second picture, is a painting created by DJ Pettit, an artist well-known in the legions of scrap bookers, paper artists, and other crafters. inspired by my photograph, she painted the lovely picture above! in the painting, it is sweet to observe the drawn relationship between the bird and the girl (me!). the colors are muted and earthy, and overall, i loved to be painted!
