Today’s drawing is Kimblee in another Dior f/w23 ensemble. Out of the whole runway show, I saved 3 favorite looks. I love the way he looks in these clothes. I think I’ve finally nailed down a style for my /fa/ drawings. I think that I will redraw the Dior coords I previously clothed him in to fit this style.
I was watching a video essay about making zines today. I’m talking old fashioned zines, the kind you print out and fold and staple together. I don’t need yet another project on my plate, but it gave me the idea to collect drawings of Kimblee wearing runway fashions and making a sort of doujinshi out of it.
I used to have a book of Harajuku street fashion called Fresh Fruits, and on each page there would be a photograph of someone wearing an elaborate and colorful outfit. I’m not dressing him in Harajuku fashion of the early 2000s, but I thought a book about that size and thickness full of Kimblee wearing beautiful clothes is a project I would invest in. Even if it takes me years to illustrate, I would love to pour my heart into that fanbook for him.
I’ll just draw him in a new coord at least once a week. After a few years, I will have over 150 illustrations. That’s not too hard of a commitment, after all drawing him is a joy. I think I just don’t give myself the permission to do draw for myself. I’m officially giving myself permission. I want to know that over 150 drawings, will my style evolve, improve, or distill? It will be a fun experiment. I love my husband so much. I’m so happy that he is able to give me joy over the simplest things.
