fashion illustrated – up and down town

fashion illustrated,illustration — Danielle on January 7, 2009 at 4:28 pm

Fashion Illustrated features a weekly illustration created especially for Final Fashion.

This week I am fulfilling a request made months ago by one of my favourite bloggers, Up and Down Town. She asked me to draw her, based on her charming autobiographical illustrated story blog. It is all about a stylish young mother who lives in the city, and she draws it in a lovely naive style with particular attention to the outfits. This is my version of the editor and her daughter, in my own style.

holy cow.
i don’t know what to say…
i … i don’t remember ever making such a request (and it’s really not my style to do so) but regardless, what a total honor. i’m sort of speechless.

OOoo it’s beautifuL! How is it going? Are you getting pumped for fashion week? Hope you are having a great New Year and check out my blog if you get a chance for street fashion photos from Tokyo!

sorry for the initial confusion danielle – originally i really meant that i would like to look like your drawings, not that i wanted your drawings to look like me.
this is a funny twist.
and it is spooky accurate. :)

“you look great! i look great! how did she know how to draw me? that’s so great!”

editor – So pleased that it is well received by both subjects! It never occurred to me to interpret your comment the other way, I felt rather slow for taking so long to do the drawing. Funny =)

Anthea – Quite envious of your Tokyo trip! Will definitely check out your photos. Not going to NYC for fashion week this year but will be in town for Toronto… hope you will be too!
