I snapped the first photo above when I was visiting my family in upstate New York over the holidays. We decided to take a day trip to Saratoga, New York–a beautiful historic town known for it’s horse racing, cozy restaurants and beautiful old-world architecture. I grew up close to Saratoga but since I’ve been living on the west coast for so many years now, I appreciate it now more than ever. It was a freezing cold day so we were all bundled up (I looked like the kid from A Christmas Story with a million layers on) but I took my gloves off to snap the above photo because the light was so beautiful. Something about the bricks on top of a crisp blue winter sky really inspired me. When I got home, I took a look at this picture again and sketched out the above fashion illustration with my new prisma colored markers. THE MATERIALS: Prisma Colored Markers
