The Dress from the Attic

Here's a new piece I did for a show, but I ended up liking it too much to sell.  Mainly because it was sort of a personal breakthrough for me for various reasons.  It's called "The Dress from the Attic" and is ink and gouache.  I was super pumped to do some flat colors after buying my Rene Gruau book finally.  The piece is pretty tall, I think the frame is about 2.5 ft tall.  Hope you enjoy.  Atlanta is cold and inspiring right now.  I honestly feel a rebirth in my brain.  I love it.  I can't wait to share pics of our new house, I attached a few of the living room to show some.  The wall were originally super bland white. We had no living room furniture at first and hunted through craigslist like crazy until we found a good deal on this set.  We were going for sort of a vintage parlour theme with greens, golds and browns.  The pillows were a gift from Angela and the coffee table and mirror were thrift finds.  This painting hangs on another wall in the space.  The other pic is of my M. Ward poster and a Johnny Cash screen print I picked up at ICE last year.  It has been a big inspiration to live here for the extra space and it's inherited creepiness.  We have worked really hard to afford more room, and it's here.
