What inspires me to illustrate every day?
I create illustrations of people and weddings, both from photography references and, what I am
most known for, illustrating LIVE at weddings or events. Capturing the moments much like a court-
room artist. But with a fashion twist.
A graduate of The Fashion Institute of Technology, NYC, in fashion design, and a passion for
illustrating people, my goal, as with all my work, is to make my subjects even more fabulous.
Illustrating LIVE and quickly, I create impressionistic illustrations with a fashion twist. I create
illustrations that will make every subject "look good on paper"—forever! When I illustrate on-site
at weddings, I will create several illustrations within 3 hours, of key moments and guests. The
illustrations are presented to the bride and groom before I depart, having "story-boarded" the
event. The couple receives original art, ready to be framed, to commemorate their special day.
"Do something you love, and you'll never work another day in your life!"
My custom illustration service relies heavily on referral. And potential clients need to SEE
samples of my work. Facebook is ideal for helping to build my base with a steady network of
"Like's" and "Friends", being able to SEE my illustrations instantly, and then "Share" with others,
etc. I use Facebook to post my recent work, where I am illustrating LIVE next, all so friends can
visit events where they can see me illustrate in action. Friends love when I create a fashion
sketch of them and then post it. I think everyone feels a little famous when they are illustrated to
look like a fabulous fashion model. In addition to individual commissions and illustrating live at
weddings, I attend many high-profile charitable events in the Chicago area. I help to raise funds by
illustrating patrons LIVE at the event and offering them for sale. Using Facebook helps keep me
connected with many groups, organizations, and charities. It offers me great visibility for fund-
raising opportunities.
How could a Big Break help my business?
A "Big Break" to me is having more people know my work and WANT my work. I want to be known
as THE illustrator to go to that will create fabulous custom, fashion-inspired work for THEM. The
tool of communicating has changed over the years and now, more than ever has the ability to
reach out and "speak" directly to potential clients. I want the opportunity to ride the vehicle that
will transport me to my client. When I "arrive", I want to be able to create for them a very personal
experience with my work. My goal is to make everyone look even more fabulous, on paper!
Thanks so much for this generous opportunity, Sandy! Please let me know if you have any
questions.
Warmest Regards,
Rosemary
