Okay, I’ve been dying to share this with you all!
A few weeks back, I entered my friend Jessica Mack’s Christmas Illustration contest. See, Jess has been on an artistic journey for a while now, and I’ve had the joy of watching her artwork grow and develop.
She’s started doing fashion illustrations under the label Illustrateur, and she put a call-out for people to submit a photo of themselves for consideration for her competition.
I cannot tell you how stoked I was when I won! Here is the original photo I sent her (yep, it’s similar to the one I had on the blog banner a while back):
And here is the illustration she did – awesome, hey?
You can see how happy I was when I got this in the mail (and yes, I had just gotten home from a run, hence the red face).
I particularly love the details – like my shoes, brooch, and she even captured the pair of Epheriell earrings I was wearing! And how much patience must it have taken to do the skirt of my dress? See, this is why I am not an artist – not enough patience.
It’s kinda been a secret dream of mine to have an illustration of myself in one of my vintage outfits – I mean, what girl wouldn’t? And to have that dream realised in such a lovely way, and by someone I consider a good friend (though we haven’t managed to meet IRL… yet!) makes it all the more special.
Thank you SO MUCH Jess, I will treasure this!

That´s a wonderful photo and a really great illustration! Details are so perfect, including your cool pink stockings and shoes – simply perfect! My compliments to the model, photographer and illustrator 🙂
Thanks Laura!
That sure is a beautiful Illustration!
I’m so glad you liked it Jess! Yes, the skirt was a little time-consuming, but I really enjoyed creating this little watercolour!
I ADORE it, thank you again, so much!
lovely lovely stuff! those pink stockings are uber cool 🙂
I love my stockings! Wish I had more call to wear them in Australia.. 😉
that’s fantastic. It is a beautful recreation. As has been said already, congrats to model, photographer and artist.Â
Oh that’s just lovely! No wonder you’re so pleased, Jess.
