The Paper Doll Project!
Tuesday, February 5, 2013 at 07:31PM I'm so excited to finally spill the beans on this project. I've teamed up with model Lisa Love to create a vintage style paper doll that will be available for sale at Viva Las Vegas Car Show next month. I've illustrated a bunch of vintage style outfits and accessories for hours of fun!
To pre-order and have the paper doll book reserved for shipment or held for pickup at the Viva Las Vegas Car Show on March 30th, 2013, follow the instructions here http://lisalove.bigcartel.com/product/pre-order-lisa-love-paper-dolls
Special thanks to Chris Gomez, Arturo Nevarez and Xavier Patin who provided reference photos that I used to create the Lisa Love paper doll and back cover artwork.
