Interview with Fashionista.com!!

Happy Wednesday Dolls!!

A few weeks ago I was interviewed, by the lovely Dhani Mau of Fashionista.com, for an article on "How to Make It as a Fashion Illustrator in 2015." I was so honored to be considered a relevant voice and authority on the topic of fashion illustration today, especially to be written up alongside my longstanding blog/illustrator idol Katie Rodgers of Paper Fashion. I have been following her blog since the time I was still an illustration student at FIT from 2009 - 2011. For all my aspiring illustrators out there, this is a must read article - super informative and inspirational.

Much love,
Meag xx

Check out all the pieces brought to life with this exquisite fabric here and stay tuned for the remaining two bespoke sketches.

Much love,

As I would quickly come to know, there are some places in the world that you simply can't prepare for...
