Lara Miller for Target: GO Design web concept

2012-01-23T23:30:00.000-06:00

This is a concept design for a "potential" future designer for Target's GO international clothing line. This campaign would be differ from past designers because there is an eco-friendly cause behind the clothing label. The clothing line would be committed to the global cultural movement for a sustainable future. The clothes come from environmentally friendly fabrics while utilizing fair labor practices. A portion of the proceeds of the clothing line would go to sustaining endangered species, all of which you can learn more about through this website.

The web experience:
This interactive site would be utilized as a showcase for the clothes and a resource to learn more about sustainability and the earth's endangered species. The fashion page as you see above would move much like a kaleidoscope when you click and drag it around. You will see several endangered species fashioning the clothing as you play with the "kaleidoscope."

2012-01-13T14:17:00.002-06:00

I've gotten several requests to start painting portraits of other people's pets as of lately. This is the first one I did, awhile back. I posted it on Facebook and got a lot of positive feedback, with several commission requests. The idea of painting pet portraits makes me smirk a little. I can't wait.

The invitation at the bottom provided a detailed schedule, as well as hints to the game that would be featured.

One of these is not like the others: Beautyrest

So begins the story of a monster under a no-name mattress with a frightened girl lying awake eternally upon it.

.....and they hardly noticed each other's snoring as they all slept happily ever after on her new Simmon's Mattress.

One of these is not like the others...
One of these just doesn't belong...
One of these seems to be just right.

old.house, originally uploaded by octupus_heart.

I found this most amazing abandoned house on the way home from Minneapolis to South Dakota. I think it was in the southwestern part of Minnesota. I was caught photographing by the owner, who pulled up when I had barely gotten inside. Luckily, the door was unlocked, so no breaking in was to be mentioned...(really). I figured he'd kick me out and/or threaten me with trespassing charges. Rather, he inquired why in the world I'd want to photograph such a dumpy place...but go ahead, "knock yerself out." Then he told me a very sad thing...they were planning on burning it down in a couple weeks. Whoa. I got it filmed, documented. What a sad house.
