On Online: Meet Online Fashion Illustration Instructor Richard Haines

Online instructor Richard Haines has a popular blog called “What I Saw Today” . His career spans working as a designer for Calvin Klein, Bill Blass, Perry Ellis and Sean Combs to illustrating for InStyle magazine and J Crew.
What classes are you teaching this semester?

FSH 102: Fashion Illustration 1 and FSH 112: Fashion Illustration 2.
You have been penned “The Drawtorialist” because of your work and following on “What I Saw Today.” Tell us about your blog and your fashion illustration work. When and why did you start blogging?

I started the blog about two and a half years ago. My career was in fashion design-menswear, and I was looking for freelance work. I figured if I started a blog, it would be another way to market myself. And I have always loved watching New Yorkers — it’s my favorite past time. So the furthest thing from my mind was the blog as an illustration vehicle but it took off immediately. The whole thing has been pretty amazing.
After working for so many large companies, and being so edited, it was an incredibly liberating experience to directly put my work out into the ‘universe’ – it was very empowering. I still feel the same way!
