It's LIFE. Life's STRANGE.

Inspired by the story of Tahlequah the orca, who in 2018 remained with her dead newborn for 17 days.

but to be fair, this is some shit I did when I was 12 and thought I was edgy too. so I get it.

A couple of pages from my sketchbook looking into details of Ka'ahumanu's costume designs from Chief of War by costume designer, Caroline Eselin. Ka'ahumanu's regal costumes have specifically been so eye-catching and gorgeous to me - especially the pleats, folds, and bows that seem to grow with each episode. I did a little research behind elements of the traditional Hawaiian garments and adornments because I was so curious about the origins/design/meaning behind each piece. Nothing too deep in the notes - moreso just identification of items and materials that could fit on the page. Can't wait to see more costumes and hopefully I'll be able to sketch out more of the designs and get into the details/symbols!

In 1989, Tina Turner stunned the world by climbing the Eiffel Tower in heels for a daring photoshoot with photographer Peter Lindbergh. Suspended high above Paris, with no visible safety gear, Tina posed confidently on the iron beams, turning fear into art. The shoot captured her fearless spirit and later became iconic imagery for her Foreign Affair album.
