The proportions/general aesthetics of this outfit from last week kept reminding me of something...
And then I remembered what it was! This Adrian Tomine sketch from his amazing compilation volume, Scrapbook, which I love very much (the individual sketch and the book):
I love that guy.









Adrian is awesome! He used to do comics in the back of the free magazine that they gave out at Tower Records called PULSE! I was even cheesy and wrote him a postcard and he wrote back! Awesome artist!

How did you find it blue, I got the yellow one and it look fabulous with browns,navys and purples. But I usually get two's of my favorite things. - Beyssa

Hi Emily
Back when I bought comics, I bought a lot of Adrian Tomine's, Optic Nerve...love his artwork and his stories. Now I want to dig them out and re-read them again. Thanks for the reminder.
