things that inspire

2010-03-01T10:22:00.000-08:00

i'm so excited to be apart of sfgirlbybay blog it forward. thank you victoria!!
its so difficult to pinpoint what inspires us...it could be anything from something we see, eat, smell, feel or hear. but if i was to pick just one thing..it would have to be my heritage. i have lived in the west my whole life which brings me even closer to my cultural background. i am proud to say i am third generation pakistani and i thank my family for not forgetting where we came from for if it wasn't for them i would not be able to create what i can today.
despite being a third world country, pakistan is rich in its color, textures and patterns...from textiles to architecture to poetry.
The mix of unusual color palettes with intricate embroidery and handprinting still prevails in all parts of Pakistan. The exuberant architectural buildings and mosques exhibit tile work in brilliant hues. Islamic art is a strong influence to the Pakistani design with the use of fractal geometry and intricate patterns. All of these attributes have had an intense influence on how i see color and pattern.

Make sure you visit nothing elegant for some more fabulous inspiration. you can see all the blogs who have participated at sfgirlbybay its brimming with visuals!!

art & copy

2009-09-11T12:37:00.000-07:00

ART & COPY is a powerful new film about advertising and inspiration. Directed by Doug Pray (SURFWISE, SCRATCH, HYPE!), it reveals the work and wisdom of some of the most influential advertising creatives of our time -- people who've profoundly impacted our culture, yet are virtually unknown outside their industry. Exploding forth from advertising's "creative revolution" of the 1960s, these artists and writers all brought a surprisingly rebellious spirit to their work in a business more often associated with mediocrity or manipulation: George Lois, Mary Wells, Dan Wieden, Lee Clow, Hal Riney and others featured in ART & COPY were responsible for "Just Do It," "I Love NY," "Where's the Beef?," "Got Milk," "Think Different," and brilliant campaigns for everything from cars to presidents. They managed to grab the attention of millions and truly move them. Visually interwoven with their stories, TV satellites are launched, billboards are erected, and the social and cultural impact of their ads are brought to light in this dynamic exploration of art, commerce, and human emotion. see it here http://artandcopyfilm.com/

i received a new book about a week ago filled with fabulous artists creating pieces by non traditional methods. i have always been drawn to artists who use unconventional and innovative ways to produce artwork. from cut paper, needlework to unusual fabrics. its no longer about what is being created but more so the technique that leaves an impression in your mind.
i have to say my favorite illustrators right now include lisa soloman, carolina melis and peter callesen.

2008-03-18T13:18:00.000-07:00

i haven't posted in what seems like forever. i've been slaving away on a project for a store window for Hermes Paris in highland park, dallas. its taking a lot longer than i estimated but i'm almost done. i am stitching on 4 panels each about 2ft by 5ft...this in fact is the biggest piece of artwork i've ever produced. once its completed, it will be framed and installed in the store window.
the first image is before i embroidered through the wood...i love the way it looks for just the holes. the last image is of the complete horse minus the tail which i will embroider tonight..if the rain permits.

i enjoyed the colorfulness of this project and especially producing something that is derived from my own culture. i was commissioned to all four hands which will be appearing in the same store. i also incorporated cuttings of vintage saris that i nabbed from my mothers closet.
