One of my goals for my art direction work this year has been to GET WEIRD! I find I am most inspired and excited about my work when I am pushing boundaries and exploring the strangest corners of my imagination.
It’s also an exploration of the Gloomth Girl aesthetic. She isn’t any particular subculture, she’s strange and unafraid to play with her appearance. Her style is inspired by so many things, it’s playful and wild, and entirely created for her own enjoyment.
This new shoot with Vanessa Walsh was a ton of fun to create! And very messy. Apparently slime and fabric are a bad combination, but heaps of praise to V for managing the goopy prop without destroying the dress. 😉
Vanessa is wearing our new “Sweetheart” jsk and tights from We Love Colors!
Thank you so much to Vanessa Walsh for helping explore my weird photoshoot ideas with me!!!!!! 😀
