Cent Magazine - Strange Paradises

Michelle Thompson is an illustrator, and has worked internationally with a variety of clients, such as the Royal Mail, BBC, Penguin Books, and many others. When I saw this piece pictured above, titled 'Strange Paradises' which was featured in Cent Magazine, I couldn't help but like it. My first thought when I saw it was that I could relate it to my fashion theme, with the image of the shoes, which is also repeated in the background. I also like the border like feel to the picture, with a variety of colours and textures, as well as a variety of images.

I found a picture of a dress, and really liked it, so I cut it out and painted on it with different acrylic paints. I then photographed it and opened it on photoshop, where I added photos of shoes and added a texture of a picture of a  glittery hair bow :


This is my finished edit :


I also added some brushes that I installed on photoshop. I personally like the overall effect.
