1.Let us know how you became an illustrator and director.Michael Sanderson(MS) I became an illustrator by accident really. After dropping out of art school, where I was studying to be a fashion designer, I realized I had to utilize my talents in order to survive without a degree or job. So I combined my love of fashion and my talent for drawing and decided I’d send some portfolios out to agencies and try making it as an illustrator. It was less then a year ago. Then I received an assignment and things started to work out smoothly. The first client was “Big Drop New York City”(now located in Miami), an high-end NY boutique.I send my portfolio to the art director there, who was a friend of mine. A week later, I received a job request to work on the design of their shopping bags. I have been involved in the design for the last 4 season, and I expect this work will continue over the future. Then after that, I was commissioned to work on “Victoria’s Secret,” well-known lingerie brand in the USA, for fabric print design and T-shirts. It was quite exciting. |
