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.
