Fashion Illustrated ~ Couple on Ossington

Qin and I were having a great sister time at Bellwoods brewery the other day, and who do I spot across the street, strolling Ossington? This wonderful couple! Don’t they look amazing?! 

Thanks to Qin's photographic memory, here's a little sketch of the pair (ink on paper)

Fashion Illustrated ~ Loblaws is Hip ~

© Illustration by Qin Leng

For some unknown reason, I keep noticing really fashionable people at Loblaws, whether it's at the Church St. or Queen St. locations. Is Loblaws a hipster magnet? Unforunately, I didn't figure out a way yet to approach people for photoshoots in a grocery store...not to mention the ugly yellow tone you get from shooting indoors with analog. Luckily, Qin was with me and once again did her little magic. Here's the result, I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Qin saw this girl the other day and did a quick sketch of her. I really love the dynamic feel of this illustration and the snow brushing over her jacket. She looks so cool and fierce in our cold winter~

Dionne & Lauren Illustrated

Today, Qin sent me her representation of Dionne & Lauren, whom I had photographed a few months back.

I love it! It's so adorable and so close to the photos!

~ Fashion Inspiration ~

Here’s a little sketch of a girl, inspired from ‘Odile’, the character of Jean-Luc Godard 1964 movie “Bande à part”. 

I was watching it last night and found the black and white images absolutely beautiful, and terribly inspiring! 

…I found myself wondering, what the real colours of her clothes might have been.

~ Qin's Monthly Haircut ~

It's been a routine ever since I decided to cut off her hair and mark the beginning of the twins looking not so alike :)

~Obijou spotted on the streetcar~

I saw Casey Mecija, from the Toronto Band OHBIJOU, last Saturday on the streetcar in Toronto. It’s the second time I see her in the city and every time, I regret being too shy to just go up to her and tell her how much I love her music! If you guys don’t know about them yet, you should really check them out. Their music is fantastic!
