If you only know one thing about me, you probably know that I’m obsessed with The Great Gatsby. When I first saw the trailer for Baz Luhrmann’s take on the classic story almost a year ago, I don’t think I took a single breath during the entire 2:28 minutes! Immediately I started searching the internet for every on set photo I could find to use as reference for my Great Gatsby infographic. I didn’t want to just create any Gatsby graphic, I wanted to recreate Luhrmann’s vision of Gatsby.
Flash forward to this week and I see that The Plaza Hotel in New York is hosting an Instagram contest to win tickets to the premiere screening and a night in their hotel! The Plaza and the Fitzgeralds go hand in hand, and with the recent Gatsby-themed additions there’s no other place I’d rather visit right now than The Plaza!
The Plaza Hotel is already an indisputable landmark in 1920’s glamour and luxury, so its grandeur was the base for my illustration. I added Gatsby’s infamous yellow Rolls-Royce as an added subtext that Gatsby was inside. He may just be enjoying The Plaza’s Champagne bar or he may be in one of their grand suites demanding that Daisy profess her love for him in front of Tom… you decide!

“Make it sturdy, but keep it beautiful,” said furniture and interior designer Emile-Jacques Ruhlmann, one of the main sources of inspiration for my latest Art Deco build. Here’s a breakdown of the Art Deco vanity. Clutter as much as you like, as long as you clutter. I also made a Gatsby-inspired clock!

I finished a Gatsby-inspired Art Deco design that I had made for myself, loosely based on French furniture and interior designer Emile-Jacques Ruhlmann’s drawings. Open for visitors on Zodiark, Lavender Beds, 8th Ward, Plot 3!

I very much enjoy working on this project not only because it’s so glamorous, but also because I find this historical period oddly fascinating with its harmful hedonism that lies at the heart of its ostentatiously opulent lifestyle.

I used to think I was the Gatsby in my own personal world, but I know now that I am—and have always been—the Nick, falling for the ones who would seemed to be “my Gatsby” at the time.
“Somewhere in the hills behind the hotel there was a dance, and Rosemary listened to the music through the ghostly moonshine of her mosquito net, realizing that there was gaiety too somewhere about.”
