On Friday, I received an email from MIMCO, inviting me to submit an image in response to a brief for their new campaign Dreamwarp Style Society. With no time to waste, I called upon the generosity of a few good people, got my creative mojo on and voila! Here you have my visual response to the MIMCO brief, including inspirations from their four unique stories/moods.

I was inspired by the opium dens of 1930s Hong Kong and the following words: hallucinogenic, surreal, dream, otherworldly, hazy, muted, rich, layered, tribal, romance, oriental and punk princess.

Old Hollywood Style | James Franco

James Franco having a Hemingway moment. Can’t get enough of that old hollywood style and his mind….well, that’s just sexy. His aspirations and his commitment to his greater education are inspiring.

Mia Wasikowska | Face of Miu Miu 2012

From Top: Photographed by Santiago Sierra for Blackbook Magazine, ‘Poor little Punk Girl’ photographed by Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin for W Magazine, Wasikowska as the new face of Miu Miu, Spring 2012, rocking her Femme Fatale in ‘A Touch of Evil’.


Gifted, versatile and quietly self-assured, Mia Wasikowska’s journey to date has been rich, diverse and entirely worth following. Lending her acting prowess to the fashion world as well as the big screen, the latest notch on her belt, as the face of Miu Miu’s Spring 2012 campaign. I would never have recognized her if I didn’t know. Her ability to transform and take on such contrasting roles is her weapon and a powerful one for such a young artist. I’m excited to see her grow into the coming phases of her career. Inspiring indeed.

A little something from my latest hero, Quentin Jones. She’s an american multi-media artist who among other things, creates these magical videos, using photographic stills and animated illustration.
