Along the lines of readers above, I would love to know how you create your illustrations. Are they all hand done-- if so, how are they translated into the block? <br/><br/>Or are they sourced from vintage images and materials? <br/><br/>We wouldn't want you to give away your lovely sources, but it would be great if you could offer a few pointers to fledgling designers. :) <br/><br/>Thank you!! I'm an immense fan of your work. Yes! Along the lines of readers above, I would love to know how you create your illustrations. Are they all hand done– if so, how are they translated into the block?

We wouldn’t want you to give away your lovely sources, but it would be great if you could offer a few pointers to fledgling designers. :)

Thank you!! I’m an immense fan of your work.

I just graduated from undergrad this May with a degree in Costume Design for theatre, but I love DesignSponge and everything on it. I'm moving to Chicago in the fall and was wondering what advice you might have for finding some sort of starting stylist/design job. I know it's all a completely different world than theatre, and I'm not sure what sorts of things to look for or where <br/><br/>And of course I have to say that your work is absolutely lovely. : ) In your short bio listed on the blog it mentioned that you worked as an art director and stylist in Chicago.

It's also my after work thing and I love doing it (more then my art directing day job!) What is the best way to get your work and brand out there? I've been approached by a retailer but I never considered that when I started a year ago. Is that a good option to look into further?

You know I have my own little business too, and the economical part of it can some times be challenging. <br/><br/>Do you do a lot of planning? And do you actually go through with you plans? (I'm not always so good at that...) <br/><br/>Other than that I just want to say a big YAY for your work. I want to ask the same thing as Andy and anonymous above.
