Mondo Guerra was the runner-up on the 2010 season of Project Runway and his creativity is really astounding. Working with him was a complete blast. And I was really inspired by our collaboration to do some design work on his portrait. To see photos of his fashions from our shoot click here.
I’m incredibly proud of this series. I art directed the concept and handmade most of the props and sets. Heather Bear was a wonderful asset as my make-up artist.
In this collection I was mixing come classic mythological imagery with tattoo flash. Both the Perceus and Medusa pieces are painted on art board with silver leaf. I mixed interference powder into a heavy black screen ink to get the color flares.
