What? An art blog Who? Elora Que Do note that most of these aren't by me and that I do give credit to these great artists! I post here art pieces that I find beautiful and connect them with my life. What's up.

To those who followed this tumblr blog, thank you. It's been more than a year since my first post and I don't want to leave it open-ended so I'd like to formally say that I won't be posting anything in here any longer. Love, Elora

What? Floating Who? Kira Koroknai and Bence Bakonyi --- "Is it possible to view space without positioning humans in it?"

What? Pyrography on Carveboard Who? Guto Carvalho --- I don't even know how to skate or anything for I have a terrible sense of balance but I wish I had a board just to have this made for me.

What? Summer Shopping! Who? Chloe Fleury --- I swear it's the beauty of paper, scissors, a bit of glue, and imagination. P.S. Check out more of her works on her site. They're all so pretty <3

[elorawhat-blog]

What? A World With Coffee series Who? Oliver Jeffers --- This man must be one of my new favorite artists for his illustrations. There's just something so natural about each one of them. Plus, his other works (paintings, etc.) reminds me of the picture books I used to get from my grandma.

What? Sweet Party Who? Ariana Perez --- I love the colors and the outlines in this one. It just looks so delicate, young, and feminine. (I haven't posted anything in a while. Hello, everybody!)

What? Theurel & Thomas (Branding-Interiorism) Who? Anagrama --- Branding merged with interior design. I love the mix. The macarons just literally pop out and become the highlight of the whole shop. Great marketing strategy, too, in my opinion.

What? Photography from the series "Unruly Habits" Who? Alison Bettles --- I don't remember where I heard it but to a regular person's point of view, some art pieces would look like trash. But to others who see it in the same light as the artist would find the story behind it. Why this certain item was placed in this manner, why the color was placed here, etc. Semiotics?

What? Polygons: Digital Art Series Who? Chris Drinkwater -- How do you even do this. @-)

[elorawhat-blog]

What? Blossom Pink Circle Mini-Dress Who? Alexander McQueen --- I've always adored Alexander McQueen's pieces. It was saddening and shocking to find out he passed away some time ago. I remember seeing his ala wildlife and adventurous exhibit online while they were still showing it in his website. Everything was beautiful and feminine. Every detail he designed was made to just fit to a woman's curves and yet still having that space for freedom, that slight punch that would make his pieces unique. If only I had £1,495.00 (plus shipping fee) I might actually get this dress. It's pretty simple and I'm such a sucker for lace work. But mostly it's because it's from Alexander McQueen.

This tumblr blog was created for a class requirement this semester. Now that it's about to end and I don't have to submit posts for the same class anymore, I could actually stop posting things here. But as weeks pass by of me posting pieces and images that seem to catch my eye and connect with me, I can't seem to let go of this tumblr blog. Maybe it's because of this habit that I have formed that whenever I'm not doing anything or whenever I'd see something interesting, I just had to share it with other people and add some of what I'd like to say in. So, yes, from here on, these posts won't be here because I'm required to post them for class but because I love what I've been doing throughout the semester and I'd love to share things I see and find around here (the small and big world of the internet) from other artists. Thank you, follower, for (well...) clicking that button at the upper right and deciding to follow this little tumblr blog. I may not be the best at giving insights and what not but I'm thankful that you find this little house on the internet worthy to follow. Love, Elora

Task was to sketch or draw my favorite person/people on campus. It feels weird to draw people you know and then you find yourself trying to remember how they ACTUALLY look like in person. Then you go and look at your work and you tell yourself, "Seriously? Who's this person I'm drawing?" What you see in your head and what you draw with your hand doesn't really match at most times (which brings out sad feelings within me). I'm evidently biased because I immediately thought of my boyfriend. But I can't draw decent eyes to save my life so let's pretend it's a cryptic piece of art and the white strip is there to make it look artsy. I love him to death but it's so hard to draw him (especially him!). I want to make him look like the same way I see and look at him everyday (the way his hair stands, the way his lips curl, the way his twitches his nose, his ever-so-cute cheeks) but my hands won't let me. Is it because I see him differently from how others do? Is it because I just suck as painting people? I don't know.

Something for class, yet again. There are so much more ways to be a "hipster" but these are just two of them! See more next week, I suppose?

[elorawhat-blog]

What? Prismatic Who? Yuko Takada --- Beautiful pieces are truly beautiful not because they're a trend but because they will forever look beautiful. Did I just make any sense? Forget about what I just typed. Come on, this piece was from 1989! (Cue my shocked face)

[elorawhat-blog]

What? Pillow Fight Who? Kelly Thompson --- I especially love how she created the hair here. I can't seem to make hair look like this (no matter how many times I dream of making it look like that). It would either look clumpy or cartoony. Ugh.

"Hit pause for a moment and consider how greatly we – people in the digital age – are indebted to typographers. Almost all of our visual communication is delivered using the products of their craft: newspapers, SMSes, instant messages, emails, web pages, signs, posters, billboards; the list of purposes is endless..."

Visual prompt for class! These are the things I'd usually wear on a school day. Depends on the weather of course, with Manila being so moody with the weather and stuff. I used to wear a lot of accessories (rings and necklaces) but I'd wear them mostly for special events now.
