Media Monday: Tumblr Timeline

It's Media Monday again, and this time I've pulled images off of my Tumblr timeline, the ones that caught my eye and that I've mooned over. 


 I had to put in a great op-ed with the great Donatella Versace. I'm about halfway through The House of Versace which premiered on Lifetime this past Saturday. Don't worry, you'll get my write-up about that soon! 

  I thought the Rodarte show was beautifully crafted, a bit spooky and appropriately Halloween-ish. I also love seeing goth coming down the runways, mixed in a with a little shock element. 
 Lastly, I am a huge Nick Knight fan, he's an amazing photographer and artist. He's great at conveying emotion and vivid, lasting imagery. 

Catch Up with Lady Jane Shipley

I'm baaaaack!!!!! 
 
Lady Jane Shipley has been up to quite a bit since you last heard from me. Hmmm, Where do start? I now have  my own website set up to your enjoyment. It has multiple pages for my different interests. One page is the fashion/style page appropriately called "What's Hot". 
 The next is a journal/update blog about the new things I'm doing so you can see them as is do them called "What's Up". 
There is a Gallery tab to check out the bulk of my work in one place. That should make things easier for you.

  I've  also added a "Mod Me" page that is slowly getting going about different things and people in the Body Modification community. So if you're a professional in the industry or know someone who would be interested in being featured, contact me!

I've been making signature tanks as a new item sold through my site. I also have a limited amount of 8g stone plugs (jewelry for stretched piercings) in three different stones. Another place to look for my creations is ulekstore.com. I entered a design contest to design plugs on their website. I won first place!!!! My design was a simple lotus with om symbol on it. Simple and beautiful. ULEK Store also bought one of my other designs for iPhone cases. The design is one of my favorites, a modified Buddha panda. 
 




Purses are one of my new infatuations. I just painted a Wonder Woman one that I immediately fell in love with. There are so many things in the works and I am constantly growing and evolving so don't miss one minute of it.

Friday Fashion DONT

Today I am sharing with you my #1 fashion abhorrence: drop crotch pants.

I first glimpsed them in NYC designer Sheila Rashid's collection (www.sheilarashid.com) and I thought, "wtf?" I mean no disrespect to Sheila, she's an amazing forward-thinking designer who's made huge waves in androgynous fashion.
Still- this is a look I will never endorse. Why walk around looking like there's a load in your pants?
Sheila's not the only designer that's rocking this look- celebrities have picked up on it, the most famous being this guy:

  

Featured Artist: LadyJane Shipley

 I am Lady Jane Shipley, a name my great grandmother affectionately gave  me as a child. Born and raised in the central New York area, wanderlust overwhelmed me and I moved out to Seattle, Washington for a brief time then on to rural east Texas where I have for now settled down. 
Art has always affected me even when I took a hiatus from actively creating. Coming back to creation really made me feel whole again and filled me with such an abundance of purpose and passion. The smooth glide of the paint, the smell of the different mediums, and the feeling that fills you when you step back and really embrace what you have created is intoxicating. 

Watching my art evolve and grow is so exciting and even in the last handful of years I have grown by leaps and bounds. There are many artists that influence me and move me, many famous and so many more that are unknown to but a few. I love to see art influence other things like fashion and other parts of society. It gives me a sense of how with ONE project you can influence the world. 

 I'm not quite sure where I would put my own art as far as style...I love contrast and I use all different mediums. I enjoy the contrast of color, contrast of subject/objects and contrast of texture. 

My favorite to do lately are my metallic pieces and my new line of modified animals. Being modified myself I really have a soft spot in my heart for the colorful modified animals I create. I offer my designs on plugs for stretched ears now also! 
 




I do mostly custom creations and welcome orders of all sizes. The internet has really expanded the possibilities of up and coming artists like myself. 

So go check out more of my work at facebook.com/CreationsOfJane and keep up to date with all my new projects and adventures by LIKEing and SHARING my page. I just started my own blog on Tumblr so look for LadyJaneShipley.tumblr.com - Much Love!

Two guest bloggers will showcase their worlds next week, so stay tuned for that! One of them is my good friend & fellow artist, Lady Jane, an amazing painter and creator.

So stay tuned and I will put up updates as they are created!

Which Fashion Shows were the Craziest??

Hello there lovers of art & fashion!

I am putting together a piece on the world's craziest runway shows and I want your help! 
Have you been a part of a strange, original runway show? Either modeling, organizing, or watching? I want to hear about your experience! If you've got trash to talk, of course I'll keep your input totally anonymous ;)
I'm also interested in the differences in the shows pre-recession & after; I know most budgets were scaled down tremendously, were there shows that you thought were way too extravagant?
Which were the worst shows?
