‘Strawberry Milkshake’ has lived many lives (I lost count on the times I painted over this piece) and I’m SO glad she’s ending up right here in our dining room➖One day I’ll have another artist’s work here and lil’ miss 🍓will find a new home but for now... I’m loving it! ➖PS: can you spot the stool I knocked over? (first to see it + DM me gets a little something special!)
2 WEEKS from today⭐️If you’ve been wanting a piece of my work but size or surface has been holding you back, I have a feeling the #PETITECANVAS collection is going to be for you ⭐️ 20 pieces for you + your friends to fight over ➖Questions about these pieces?? Let’s talk about it!
New work is flowing in the studio! So I thought why not show it with something pink to set the stage🏄‍♀️FINALLY seeing this large body of work come together. All 30+ pieces will be split up between a handful of different galleries so make sure to stay put to see where your favorites end up! #allisonjames
STORY TIME✨These illustrations all started two summers ago when I started drawing 'the man with the hat.' This figure is a spin on the memory of my Pops, always working countless hours in his backyard pulling weeds and tending my grandparent's daylily farm. He ALWAYS wore a pale blue bucket hat with a navy band - sometimes khaki if he was feeling crazy. (I’m sure he had many, many more.) My Mimi sported her own bucket hat and coordinating work-wear sets while gardening. Her image is just as burned in my child's mind as those visions of Pops. These figures are symbols of my adolescence➖And much like my below-average memory, the 'man with the hat' often has a blurred face, perfectly symbolizing those happy times I hold so dearly to my heart. Or try to with my inexcusably bad memory... It's constant a work in progress! So. Let's recap✖️’the man with the hat' eventually became ‘the hat’... and the shoes came to life as an illustrated spin-off of my Mimi's signature Keds and my never-ending love for style and a crazy good statement accessory. AND THERE YOU HAVE IT MY FRIENDS! Inspiration is a wild, wild thing✖️new kicks + hats in the shop👠link in profile. #allisonjames
