I had a recent epiphany (which took a ridiculous amount of time to arrive at), and realised I want to take the world by storm as a fashion illustrator. The two interests that have remained unwavering constants in my life have been fashion and illustration. But being the idiot that I am, I assumed that to be a 'fashion illustrator' you had to actually make the clothes you illustrate.
Not so! And ever since that realisation a few weeks ago, I've been busy concocting things in my 'illustration cave' and finally think I'm ready to take the leap into social media. I'll aim to post at least two illustrations per week, with a few extra fashion musings from time to time.
I'm still learning and developing my aesthetic as an Illustrator, but ultimately I'd love to be able to make this my career. Fashion has always held some major appeal for me. I love designing outfits, flipping through magazines, dragging friends to fashion shows, every styling and designing show on TV (I'll never get sick of Project Runway) and scouring through images on Pinterest for hours..
I love the glamour, imagination, and even the insanity of fashion. Who knows, maybe in ten year's time all the glitz will have addled my brain and I'll end up something like this..
You can track my decent into potential insanity here! In the meantime, here's my first illustration...
