Painting by numbers

There's something magical about fashion illustrations...selected vignettes of stylish lives...

I love street art and one of my favorites is the French graphiti artist, Fafi. Fafi's women are cute, sexy, and fun.
Illustrator Kirsten Ulve's work is happy...even when they look like they're having a bad day things still seem to have an upside for her characters.
Fashion Illustration Now is a great "read". It features almost thirty different illustrators from sixteen countries and has something for everyone.
And for those of you who wish to become art, Colette offers a way to make yourself a Fafinette with the Uslu Airlines & Fafi Kit with two heart-shaped stencils and a pink or red ink cartridge.

    Fafi used to be her friend for years and copied her style very badly
