five 16 two thousand 13

I took these sometime early last year, and they were by far some of my favorite outdoor pics of 2012. And of course, like all good things that eventually come to a unexpected end, this gorgeous little wasteland of a photo spot/ barn graveyard is being bulldozed and made into a building...or something:(
I've been watching it happen since November and part of me wants to just lay in the middle of the grass and chant "YOU SHALL NOT PASSSSS" One can only hope I'm as scary as Gandalf:)
I'm gonna miss you, you field of weird cinderblocks and abandoned houses...you were the shit for many fabulous shoots! oh the tragedy!

2 Cruel for School

OHHHH HEYYYYOOOOOO 

So I did this shoot for another blog and it was all about embracing the inner Cruella. She's obviously a pioneering power bitch in the fictional character genre of cartoonie old school movies...so it's only fair to pay tribute to her beastly fierce persona. 

Speaking of awesome things....semester is over....*happy danceeeeee* and though I'm a boob and I'm doing insane summer classes, it's nice being able to live in one place instead of 2. AND NOT HAVE TO FUCK WITH ADOBE FLASH.....*DOES ANOTHER HAPPY DANCE*  

This also means I'll have more time to post on the blog...because we all know it's been like "come on Ashley, you haven't posted in a week...IS U DEAD?" It's been a terribly hectic few months, or year really...but never fear I am gonna kick some blog ass.

AND SPEAKING OF KICKING ASS.

The Great Gatsby came out last friday and I heard it kicks ass like no other....I'm literally sitting here dying and pulling my hair out waiting to see it. Not only is the movie presumably flawless...but the soundtrack...THE SOUNDTRACK, MANNNNNNN!!! FUCKING PERFECTION. OOOHHMYGAWDDDD MUSIC ORGASM GET IN MY IPOD. I LISTEN TO IT AND DIEEEEE. MERCY ON MY SOUL.

Here's a good one...says I

NO THE BEST ONE

WERD.

In a Trance

OMNOMMM...UMMM CAN WE SAY SPACE SUIT?

SPACE SUIT :)

Ok so basically this week is just going to be like...all of the work I've been slaving over for weeks/ months...so the first two pics are from my magazine...which has the sickest space suit you will ever lay your wandering little eyes on...coming soon to Jeffie.com.

And then the painting above is a magazine cover I did over the past month, which is done all digitally with about ..I dunno...80-100 layers...took forever but beyond in love with the outcome :)

The concept, because it is based around the subject of graphic design and the understanding of typographic importance....is kind of this somewhat alien-like half human half dumping ground...gradually breaking down into the small fragments of information and bursting at the seems. I really experimented with affects that would simulate tiny burst of light and energy waves and as if the explosion wasn't at all destructive but transformative and progressive towards releasing of the boundaries of initial design stereotypes. THAT'S JUST WHAT I WAS THINKING Y'ALL.

JUST SAYINNNN :)

It's finals week and I'm cramming like a stunner, so I'm giving you a heaping dose of 1 hour trance, which is what helps me through a long night of making flash cards and studying the architectural movements of the 19th century....TRANCEY TRANCEEEEE RAWRRRRR

IT'S SO GOOD I SOMETIMES FALL ASLEEP FROM OVERLOAD. :)

Your Room Must Look Like Some Crazy Circus Shit, Right?

That's the question I got in my inbox the other day and made me actually "lol" :) I've been doing most of my question answering shenanigans per email to make it somewhat more personal ( when I have time to!) but of course as usual people have been begging for a vid. So I dunno....maybe....just maybe...we could do that :)

Back to the whole circus thing...my room, or rooms really, because I live in 2 different states each week, is a bit of an organized circus of a wardrobe. Basically....the masks and wigs that you see from the above shoots, are stored in one chaotically organized rack...along with various other things I tragically can't wear in public...but make killer photos...so they just chill alongside my daily attire and wait for their photo ops. But it's hardly a big mess ...I would go cray.

My studio is a ghetto set up on my deck and I battle bugs in between shots. (For those who wanted to know what my set up was like) Which I will most definitely try and expand upon if I ever get around to that darn video question answer sesh.

That's all for today my dears :) If you haven't checked out the latest issue of my magazine, you should..because this chick commands it. Word.

And ummmmm yeah I'm OBSESSED with this song.

HOLLA

new issue - on http://www.cxiiimagazine.com/

DANCE BITCHES, DANCE

We are in space and we have spikes and we dance to Kreayshawn. Deal with it.

About 7 ish more hours until the next issue of my magazine is released and of course more sneak previews are necessary. Issue IV is titled "Chronicles of Perception" and is heavily based around the concept of a densely packed publication of visual more than anything else. Just strong pictures left to interpret on your own. There's some killer talent in it, from photographers to artists, and sick designs from my most favorite American based designers. 

And then it will launch like a digital rocket in the skies of the interwebz and we are on to the next one! Literally! Because I kid you not when I say that a lot of the next issue is booked and planned and being prepared. MOOHHAAHHAAAAA.

In the meantime, let's catch up on some Kreayshawn, shall we?

Monday's Wednesday

Glasses - 80's Purple

Shoe - Jeffrey Campbell

Dress - Sheinside

Happy Monday you fabulous people :) Totally mixing in some killer outdoor photos while it's nice out so tah duh! I got this dress and it immediately reminded me of Wednesday Addams, who happens to also be a style icon to me :) No one does LBD like that little feisty bitch. 

And speaking of that dark and glamorous family of black adorning hotties, might as well post another quick sneaky preview from one of my magazine editorials...since it was inspired heavily by Morticia :)
dress by the fab company Sammydress

UMMMM YESSSSS :)

Feel the warm embrace of utter darkness :) 

Because yes, it is indeed a happy color :)

That's all y'all!

AND NOW TO DANCE!

You Can Never Be Overdressed or Overeducated

Hand braces - Fox and Owl

Shoes - Jeffrey Campbell

Tights and corset - DIY

Sneaking these spikey bad boys in another shoot yet again...Hauntlet love. rawrr. They look bad ass with any spiked shoe really...it kind of balances things out :) It's been getting so hot out that my witch wardrobe is totally making me melt...gahhhhhh! 

As a fresh new month is coming at us faster then ever, let us all remind ourselves to only fill our lives with positive energy. Embrace the good vibes and cut the bad. Take no shit from people and move on with your bad self. One of the biggest crap shoots of the Internet is people killing your vibes and being just a tad bit bitchy. HOWEVER, thou shall not give a damn. Be overdressed and filled with the fucking knowledge and skills to kick ass. Boring people rarely make history. So go on with your bad self:)

MEOOWWW MEOOWWW THAT'S ALL FOR NEOWWW

Blue Icing

Controller Armada leggings - JEFFIE.COM

Batwing Poncho - JEFFIE.COM

Wrecker boots + mirror wedges - Jeffrey Campbell 

I can't think of any other way to spend my saturday morning than running around in controller leggings :) They are totally my favorite because the light blue is really complementary with black and grey...which is my whole damn closet. They are fun to look at too, because of how much detail was put into the design. I wuv them. You should too!

Magazine comes out a week from today! yaaaaaa! uhhh huuhhh... oh yeahhh....:)

I'm actually walking in a runway show that day so I will most likely be launching it from a hair and make up chair, while in a big ball gown..:) Me and my less than perf scheduling :)

Four 24 two thousand 13

Harness belt - Choies

Hand bling and leg brace - Fox and Owl

Hi Guys! Posting a super quick shoot from this weekend, featuring some fierce designs by Fox and Owl, Choies, and a bunch of other fab online stores. The jacket is quintessential Spring to summer attire since it isn't too heavy, but still keeps you toasty during those not so hot mornings. 

Happy hump day!
