PAPYRUS X DEANNA FIRST FASHION ILLUSTRATIONS by Deanna First

I was thrilled to create 2 custom illustrations for The Cafe by Papyrus at New York Fashion Week! I joined forces with Angie Durbin who beautifully wrote custom phrases for attendees. My artwork was NYC themed inspired by Central Park. I used watercolor, micron and digital editing to make these pieces come to life! I live sketched guests last year at their Fashion Week pop-up so hope to be back again soon. :)

LORD & TAYLOR CHARITY DAY X DEANNA FIRST ILLUSTRATIONS by Deanna First

I was thrilled to team up with Lord & Taylor Garden City and Save the Children for their Charity Day on July 29th from 12pm-5pm! Customers had the option to either have an item of their choice customized or a fashion sketch of themselves drawn live with each donation or purchase. 

Heeling Soles also joined me collecting the gently used shoes which would be given to charity! I illustrated on t-shirts, tote bags and even back pockets on denim jeans! Some customers preferred an illustration to take home and frame of a sketch of their child or themselves while others opted for the customization of products. 

I was so excited to be part of this special day and can't wait to be back again!
