You don't want to follow me, I'm @goaskalicia and I mostly only talk about shoes or what music I'm listening to.

Well, I'd like to say a big thumbs up to fashion related posts.

When I joined the old site, I was fresh out of uni - purely graphic design focussed, I thought that was all I wanted to know about. Now, years later, the bulk of my work is as a fashion art director, going on shoots and setting out spreads for magazines, and LMFF.

Sure I'm still a total type nerd and illustrator is my best friend. But, that's not all I want to see. When I look at fashion (the actual garments) and fashion photography, I see lines, shapes, light and shadow - the composition and the objective. Its just another expression of form.

All creative fields go hand in hand, they all inspire and feed each other, nothing exists in a bubble.

@goaskalicia your points were beautifully made and @lorena I'm loving your work, keep up with the fashion posts, I'll be eagerly awaiting the next.

Your Celebrity Look-a-like!

M Seth Jones used to offer one-on-one retouching classes over Skype... he's planning an international move soon but it'd still be worth getting in touch.

I recently had an article written by L.A. based creative Carl King forwarded to me called 10 Myths about Introverts. http://www.carlkingdom.com/10-myths-about-introverts

I found it to be a really fascinating read and subsequently discovered that I indeed fit the bill of King's brand of "introvert" which kind of surprised me, but then... somehow not really. It was like discovering something about myself I had an inkling about but never really understood before - a bit of a personal epiphany really.

I subsequently decided to purchase his book "So you're a creative genius... now what?" after reading the first few pages and found myself hooked.

King's no bullshit approach to being a creative introvert really helped get me out of a creative slump.

I can't wait for the book to arrive!

Has anyone else read it? If so, what did you think? Did it help you?

When I work at the bench I find myself listening to heaps of Foo Fighters and Opeth lately, probably because of their upcoming tours that I'm SUPER EXCITED about.

When I work at the computer (writing, coding, whatever) I find I can't concentrate when music is playing with lyrics because I sing along and lose focus. So right now I'm all about this amazing Irish band called GOD IS AN ASTRONAUT. They have 4 albums and they're all awesome rock instrumentals.

Writing up your BIOGRAPHY

Posted 19.09.2011 @ 12.15AM

I *HATE* writing bios... I always feel like such a twat trying to say nice and seemingly objective things about myself.

I recently had to write a new one for a client I'm working with - minimum of 15 words - YEOWCH! Doesn't sound like a lot but it was like trying to draw blood from a stone. Luckily it ended up being suitable enough to use on my blog as well. Not quite right for my jewellery but I think it's something I can work off.
