GOTHIC LOLITA TWIN GIRLS PHOTOSHOOT, UNDEAD JAPANESE BJD DOLLS. ANDIE DEROUX ART STUDIO IN SEATTLE.
While in Seattle, Rose and I visited artist Andie DeRoux. As soon as we saw her Rococo-pink studio, we knew we were among a kindred spirit.
Don’t we look like undead Japanese Goth dolls?
Grey plaid Lolita dress with heart pockets: Angelic Pretty, from Closet Child Harajuku
Hair piece: I wrapped around a silver hearts ribbon, sparkly silver fabric from a dress, and two flower clips from a fabric store. The materials are about $3 total.
Black tights: Vivienne Westwood, a gift from my cousin
Knee high grey striped socks: Got these years ago
Shiny black ankle boots: Alice and the Pirates, from Closet Child Harajuku
Pink-haired Andie is also an alternative and fetish model. She’s the sweetest — we were greeted with champagne and Thai food!
Rose glued on gems for eyebrows, and rocks the Japanese circle contacts that makes eyes look huge. I’m wearing layers of false eyelashes and greyish purple eyeshadows over green and blue eyeliner, all gifted from Annabelle Cosmetics. My nail art is sparkly.
Andie’s art incorporates glossy resin and Sweet Lolita self-portraits.
From bold filigrees, ominous tree-scapes and lush floral sprays, Andie creates a mixed-media dreamland. In Rose’s words, “I wish I could decorate my house with everything you create.”
The glittery 1980s-style cell phones are pure genius.
Andie used keyboard keys and cute Japanese ice molds as materials. You can see more on her website.
Who are your favorite artists? Please leave me some links and names in the comments — I always love discovering alternative art!

If you mean alternative art, then artists that I really like are nheira and AINSI.
Even though nheira is a manga-ka, his works are very detailed and intriguing. AINSI is more focused on the romanticism of gore and it’s just beautiful~
Oooh I’ll have to check that out.. gore = <3
