Artist Profile: Noemi Manalang

I am not normally a follower of fashion so I was surprised this morning when I had a sudden urge to search Flickr for fashion illustrations. Even though I don't subscribe to Vogue (or any other fashion mag), I have always had a fondness for fashion illustrations.



Still, fashion illustrations are not on the front burner of my art stove or anything. But Flickr never fails to provide eye candy and I became smitten with Noemi Manalang's stream.



Especially the girls looking away from me.
Those really catch my eye, heart and imagination.








My mind cannot help but start to fill in the back stories here. And clearly, I am in a red mood. Plus I cannot resist anything camera related, that is a known fact.





You can enjoy more of Noemi on her blog, Noomie Doodles Fashion.

(All images belong to Noemi. Isn't her name lyrical?)

They are beautiful illustrations. I love the one of the camera girl and it is interesting to see back views-I always think of drawing the face first! I used some of your fabric today in making a bird for a swap I am doing. I used the lovely holly one! I will put photo on flickr when finished. In fact, I need one more person to do the swap-it is one where you send out one item and replace the person you send to in the six emails you send out. If you are interested let me know and I will email you next week with the details(am away from tomorrow a.m.

these are just wonderful illustrations period- it seems as though the clothes are a second thought- just love how she gave her girls "thoughtfulness"

Thank you for sharing! The girl with the red coat and hat is me! The days are getting colder and darker here in Seattle - and that is exactly how I feel! Happy week! Monika.
