I recently came across the work of fashion illustrator Inslee Haynes. It is clear that Haynes has a true talent in identifying and capturing of the moment fashion trends in her watercolor and ink sketches. Not to mention, I absolutely love the idea of having these high end fashion sketches hanging in my closet or anywhere I choose, even if I can't afford the items themselves. She also has personalized stationery and calendars which you can check out on her website.
Chris Piascik, the illustrator and graphic designer of the inspirations above, has been drawing something, anything every single day, Monday-Friday for over the past four years. I love the idea of having something that you've done and committed to every single day as part of your routine, and even more so that it is a way for him to creatively express himself five days a week. Chris says that in doing these drawings every night, he gained the confidence to move away from graphic design and towards illustration professionally. Not to mention, he started to get tons of new projects as a result of his daily drawings, now that's awesome! I know we all have so many mundane routines we get into every single day, walk the dog, make the bed, clean the kitchen, do laundry, drop off drycleaning, the list goes on and on. It is nice to think about adding something fun and creative into your daily routine as well. See below for a few more examples of Chris Piascik's work.
