In continuation from yesterday, I thought I'd show you a closer peek at Robert Best's illustrations. To me, the manner in which the hair and eyes are drawn just... make each piece. After further researching the artist, I found an entire calendar of these gorgeous sketches right here!
Furthermore, I learned about an entire line of *collector* barbies called Silkstone. This collection was introduced in 2000 and is still in production today. Each piece in the Silkstone collection evokes the 1960's in clothing style and features. Want to start collecting them? Be prepared to spend $160-$250 per doll on eBay. I think perhaps I'll stick with the calendar.
i love that i'm not the only enthusiast! i have the calendar and three of the framed prints from Z Gallerie. eagerly collecting more
of the prints to finish my wall.
i studied fashion design, so i am completely enamored with his illustration style.
they are just gorgeous! i too am thrilled to have the calendar!! what a find!!
(bought a 2nd one so i could frame those too!)
have a great day! :)
