Graduation Project - II - FIELD REFERENCES

>> The first part of this whole thing I forgot I had started talking about is here! <<

So, I was saying that there were some issues with the project HiGH&LOW, right?

Well, when it comes to LDH goods and releases...basically everything (really everything) goes sold out pretty quickly! When the releases are online it take some few seconds, less than a minute! And it's a frustrating experience, because when you're there, making the checkout of your cart, BOOOM! your items are no avaliable anymore...

I remember when they posted about the goods of the HiGH&LOW series how the internet went crazy! Instagram, Twitter, Weibo! All the fans were dying, because all the items looked so desirable at a first glance!

But then, when the day came, tons of products were still avaliable for days, which meant even thought all the fans wanted to buy everything, maaaaaaaaaaaaybe the appeal was not enough to make the sellings work out.

So today, this part two is about the creative ways the fans found out to engage with their favorite groups/gangs and how their solutions are better than the released official products! (the credit of each picture shown in each printscreen - from instagram - 2016)

JEAN PAUL GAULTIER SS20 - ILLUSTRATION for #DRAWADOT

So, here's the final version of the illustration! The decision to focus on the jewelry of the look came to match the professional moment I'm living right know, with my own pieces and stuff... But it was hard to give up on manga style and on the character design vibes, so, that's it!! It was fun! ♥

Então vou deixar aqui um work in progress de esculturas de papel - com a mesma técnica das jóias!

TORONTO - DISTILLERY DISTRICT

So here comes the post of one of my favourite places in Toronto! Sorry if it's just too obvious, but the Distillery District is just lovely! Actually I liked all the neighbourhood, because I took a loooooooooong walk from the west side of the city until there, so I must also say that the surroundings are great too! ♥

TORONTO - CN TOWER

A trip to Toronto can't be thought without visiting the CN Tower... ♥

TORONTO - CASA LOMA

"House of Casa Loma"... For a person who speaks Portuguese it was a bit annoying that people in Canada kept saying "house of"Casa Loma, because casa already means house. XD

Anyways, what a beautiful castelllll...! From the City Pass, this was probably the attraction I wanted to see the most. Because I love Architecture, History and X-men! hahahahaha

The weather this day was probably the worst I got during my whoooole trip, it was rainning a lot, but at least I got a chance to meet a really nice guy! My Uber driver was a guy born in Montreal, but that spent many years in Africa before coming back to Canada. He told me a lot about his love for Toronto and how the city is the perfect place for the ones who have dreams. Because in Toronto nothing is impossible. It was quite inspiring. =)

The Halloween attraction wasn`t ready though. =(

TORONTO - AGO

AGO has probably the most tempting shop of all the galleries and museums... The books! OMG, the books!!! Because, yes, I`m the kind of person who starts a visit by entering the shop. WHY? So I have time to process all the cravings I get.... And the books in Canada are so much cheaper than in Brazil! =,(

The Art Gallery of Ontario does have a little bit of everything and it`s huge. So huge it feels bad to call it a gallery and not a museum. o_o

Their inventory of beautifully crafted is objects is what got my attention the most.... Mamma mia! ♥

GARRET KANE @ apART PRIVATE GALLERY

   Yesterday I had a chance of visiting Garret Kane's exposition here in Sao Paulo, at apArt Private Gallery!

   apArt is a private space where, through a scheduled appointment, you’ll be able to appreciate, purchase or rent fine art and design as well as meet and engage in conversation with the artist or designer.  It’s also a place for book signing events and any other kind of cultural activities.

   Everything is organized on a privé basis for VIP individuals or small groups. Even though here in Brazil it's still not so common to have crowded art galleries - unless there's an event going on - one of the things I liked the most about apArt is the fact that visits are scheduled! It was a slightly intimidating thought at the begining but there was an adorable lady opening the apartment door when I arrived and offering water and coffee, and then a very welcoming apartment full of art in every detail! It was a nice scape moment during a busy friday... ♥

Since the gallery is at a very familiar neighborhood for me, in a certain way it felt like visiting an auntie's place... hahaha.

   Garret Kane is an assemblage sculpture artist based in Brooklyn, NY. Below there are some of his words about art and technology:

   "All human invention is the application of our desires and ideas upon matter and energy - and I believe art is the purest form of this conceit - it's sole purpose being to push matter and energy to the most interesting places it can go.

   Well, that's the idea I like to operate from, and it’s what inspires much of what I do.

   Specifically the mediums, concepts and techniques I prefer all revolve around this association with base nature. They embody the idea that human beings were made by nature and through technology we attempt to recreate nature in our own image.

   Lastly, because nature inspires everything I do and because I love our planet, 10% of all my profits go to the IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature)".

It's been a while and I'm really sorry. Days are crazy here and keepin' up with a routine is not a easy task right now.

ANYWAYS. Let's go back to the 90's, because...

Here's an ispirational post about Japanese Displays and Visual Merchandising. ♥
