SPRING GOALS . . . a collection of recent original works and studies by JAY KREVENS

I know I said my little break from illustrating the Tarot would be sewing related…. but I haven’t had time to buy boning! SO…. in the meantime, I’ve been brainstorming ideas for a little handbook and I’M KIND OF FREAKING OUT WITH EXCITEMENT. Yeah. Here are a few sketches and very brief notes of THE QUEBRAEYE.

Kate Bush on an endless loop.

I CAN’T STOP. 

Now that I’ve completed outlining the Major Arcana cards of the Tarot, I think I may take a short break… by making a huge self-portrait pharaoh patch to appliqué on the back of a jacket.

While sketching out some ideas for the last Major Arcana card yet to illustrate, The Fool, I quickly grew distracted by the idea for this mask… THIS MASK!
I’m so excited by it. Time to experiment sewing with boning!

Sometimes I take reference shots in photo booth. Out of context, it’s proven to be a really beautiful archive of my body gestures, hands, and glares.
And why’s that room lookin so powder-puff pink?! So refreshing!

Black Dye Party Hood Design

Black Dye Party Hood Design

I finally got around to photographing the hood I made for my Black Dye Party! It’s basically made from scraps of fabric from Village Discount Outlet… A bit of polyester lining, some lingerie, a velvet vest, rosaries, and glass beads.

Making scary headwear is so much fun!
