Got any old t-shirts laying around? Boring? Doesn’t fit right? It was once your favorite shirt but now it would just better off a rag to clean with or a towel to use to dry your dog with right? WRONG!

Get your t-shirts and a pair of sharp, fabric scissors and get to customizing!

Stuck? Not sure what to do now you have your equipment? Well luckily there is a man who knows all about cutting up t-shirts to make your own, awesome design.

Adam Saaks is an expert in the “cutting shirts field”. He cuts from simple and sweet to sexy and elaborate designs into Ed Hardy t-shirts. His designs include complicated weaves, quick stitches, tying pieces together and using pieces of fabric he cut from the original shirt and adding it to his new design to make it complete.

The shirts I’ve seen him cut, the weave designs in the front and/or back remind me of corsets. But not only does he cut shirts to make new designs out of them, he sometimes put two or more shirts together to make dresses or bathing suits. Crazy huh? Check out some of his designs:

That’s Mr. Saaks himself in that last photo! haha He said in an interview that none of this designs take more then 15 minuets! Isn’t that insane? Even the more complicated designs like in photo 2 and 3 doesn’t take him more then 15 minuets to complete! That’s some wicked awesome talent! And I bet a lot of men out there would just love to get so up close and personal with the ladies Adam works with…

Adam worked with Mariah Carey, Pink, Paris, and he’s even going to be in an upcoming video for Katy Perry! So keep an eye out for this master designer. Meanwhile, here’s a demonstration of his talent:

Lacey Mosley Missing

By lauren // Art, paintings, YouTube Videos // No Comments

“Somethings missing in me, I felt it deep within me. Past lovers left me to bleed alone.”

This is the chorus of Missing by Flyleaf, a song I’ve recently found and am now in love with! Flyleaf is so inspirational and moving; their songs are beautiful! And Lacey Mosley, the lead singer, is gorgeous! You could probably guess what I just had to do…and I did it!

Personally, I think hits picture could look a lot more like Lacey if I worked at it but I like it just the way it is now. It’s not exactly photo realistic, like what I’m always working towards, but it’s still pretty good haha.

The reason I chose this picture to draw is because of the lighting. It’s dark, which intrigued me but also the light across her face and chest thats just peeking through her hair. It’s lovely and I wanted to try drawing this interesting light.

I hope you like this drawing. And I was thinking of maybe choosing one of the videos I’ve already made or making another and doing a commentary of like how I draw it and my thought process when I draw and stuff…but what do you think? Well take your time, mull it over and mean while, enjoy the video!
