Ink and Smoke: Two of the most versatile substances in nature. Both have similar characteristics that relate to how we as people see them and use their qualities to our benefit. Smoke and ink can be seen as a warning, a signal, or some form of danger. Smoke itself can provide cover due to its density, however it's also so light in the sense of weight that, if it didn't have an odor or tint, it would be unnoticeable. Ink is also naturally occurring. A squid uses it to escape predator as well as a warning signal. Its density gives it a richness in its appearance, which has the ability to be heavy and bold or light and fragile to the eye. These two substances serve as the inspiration of our next collection. Using the qualities and characteristics each obtain, we will create both a menswear and womenswear collection. Shout out to @trace drew for the tentacle illustration done for us! Stay tuned for more. #inspiration #inkandsmoke #collectiondevelopment #amalinecollections #menswear #womenswear #designerclothing https://www.instagram.com/p/BsPMmTHnGdc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qigmfd2crtho

This felt goooood! Not quite finished but I mhm already happy with what I have so far. I haven't painted in a long time. Tonight was definitely a great night to be creative! #painting #creativejuicesflowing #feelinggood https://www.instagram.com/p/BoP6j2oltVz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1r0xp2jt7zho0

In the process. Ideas are coming slowly and random. No one really talks about their creative blocks. But that's where I've been and this is how we push through it. #creativeblocks #pushthrough #whatweremadeof #illustration #roughsketch #menswear #designerclothing #customclothing #amalinecollections
