Danny Roberts – Fashion Illustrations

June 5, 2009

I am loving these illustrations by Danny Roberts.




I’ve always been one for creative projects and art and crafts.
When I was five, I convinced myself that pouring mud onto cardboard was how to make concrete.
I began drawing as a young child, but it wasn’t until a few years ago when I decided to practice everyday, that I started getting better.
I would draw some days for 15 hours straight till my hands were swollen shut.
When I was 13 I starting my own clothing company and ran it with the help of my friend till I was was in college.
I studied Photography at Cal Poly SLO, and then later studied Fashion Design at the Academy of Art in San Francisco.
My artwork was honored by being the first featured portfolio of 2007 Graduates on the WGSN Generation Now Website,
a unique showcase of graduating talent from the world’s leading universities and design colleges.
I’ve been blessed to have my artwork featured in multiple publication in countries I hope to visit some day

Audrey & Eldad Hagar never imagined that when they began photographing the hundreds of fostered dogs (and other creatures) who came through their home, that they would actually create a book. They just wanted to remember the animals they had shared great memories with.

Below is their short story about a little dog named Bradley…

“We rescued Bradley from the shelter last night, and today I took him to a neurologist.

The doctor had only sad news for Bradley…

We agreed he should go to sleep and not suffer this severe hydrocephalus. (as you can see, his head is weirdly shaped due to a lot of fluids in his head / brain).

I didn’t want to let him go yet, so from the vet I took Bradley to the beach, I sat with him, played with him, and I fed him many cheeseburgers and fried chicken.

We sat there for two hours, and after that I took him to the vet’s office right on the beach, and he went to sleep forever :-(

It was such a sad day… I cried like a baby for this little guy. Even now when I am typing these words, tears are coming to my eyes…” (The end)

Please visit their website & help them save more animals. All they ask is for people to buy the book about their rescue work… this will help them pay the medical bills & all the expenses involved in animal rescuing. (The book cost only $9.95. It has a 100 pages of full color photos and stories that will make you laugh and cry).


You can buy the book at 

edit:: reading this story makes me cry. sure, i’m a crier but i don’t know what i would do if i had to say good-bye to harlow. i would definitely feed her cheeseburgers and french fries and ice cream. see? here i go again. ok… must read something very happy.

good one AT&T… good one

Do you see where it says I used 2331 texts out of 200? I send maybe 20 text a month… if that. But the weird thing is is that these are all (with the exception of about 20) received texts. Wouldn’t you think I noticed if my incoming texts quadrupled times ten?? Who are all these people texting me and why am I not getting them?! What you don’t see is that my total bill for ONE MONTH is $317.82.

Yougottabejoking

Oh yeah, and my bill is due today. I always pay it at the last minute (but never late) and I never look at my bill because it’s always exactly the same each month and has been since I got my contract. So I call and talk to a nice sounding girl named Kristin or Christine or something. She asks me to wait while she gets into her system. Fine. No biggie. I’m cool, I’m calm… I can be patient. During the next few minutes she checks back a few times and apologizes for the wait. No problemo. I’m easy like a Sunday morning. Twenty minutes later my patience is fading. I keep telling myself that it’s not her fault and getting upset won’t do either of us any good. But all we get accomplished is having someone else call me back within 72 hours and her promising that this won’t make my bill overdue… So basically I was on the phone for 47 minutes and nothing was accomplished.

But I didn’t yell or cry. (Does that make me sound like a baby? Well, when I get frustrated I cry… that’s just how I roll.)

So is AT&T in the habit of playing jokes on their customers? Cause if they are this is a good one!

“The world bursts at the seams with people ready to tell you you’re not good enough. On occasion, some may be correct. But do not do their work for them. Seek any job; ask anyone out; pursue any goal. Don’t take it personally when they say ‘no’ — they may not be smart enough to say ‘yes’.”
-Keith Olbermann
