Twixy Tootle Too

The Twixy Tootle Too line initiated when I was studying abroad in Provence. I made line of headbands that were comprised of little odds and ends I picked up during my travels such as ticket stubs, food wrappers, ribbons, etc. These headbands are a continuation of that idea. Each headband is unique and is displayed on my newly invented Lamp Ladies.

ladylike fan

Last week, Amy at shopSCAD, contacted me and asked me to create a "ladylike fan" for a guest of Paula Wallace. The idea came to me within a minute of her contacting me. I am home in Wisconsin right now and the prairie on our property is FILLED with wildflowers. I looked out the window and immediately knew that I wanted the fan to resemble a Queen Anne's Lace flower. This is my artist statement.

I have neglected this blog for the past couple months because I have been posting all my new work on my website. For anyone who pays attention to this blog, I am sorry to not have told you sooner. If you want to see my current work, head to www.emilymariecox.com!

Mr. Alfred Creepster Bunabun

Meet my new friend.

He was created for the photo shoot shown below.

growing up

I have had the AMAZING opportunity to act as concept illustrator, art director, costume and prop creator and stylist for a collaborative photo shoot with a good friend of mine. It has been a lot of work but wonderful work. The theme of this shoot was about growing up and the feelings we all had during that awkward stage in our lives.

My artist statement goes like this:

She is uncertain yet she is expectant. She is an explorer but she trips along the way.
Her soul is layered, deeply layered, searching.
Although they feel unnatural, her circumstances are universal.

She is growing up.



We are currently working on our second photo shoot.

The photo for this one isn't quite complete. This was just a test shot but you can get the feeling of where it is going.

Brush Your Teeth Everyday

These are pretty self explanatory. I dug deep into my soul to create the imagery for these paintings. Not really....I made them one day over winter break. They were fun to make and I am in the process of making a few more. Tomorrow.
