Inside Tumblr's #NYFW Bloggers with Meagan Morrison of Travel, Write, Draw
跟著正妹時尚插畫家去工作
When I draw live, I keep it really simple because the environment is so frantic. You can't move out of the way quick enough because there's just so much going on; you just wanna be able to get the right angles in everything. When I'm onsite at Fashion Week, I just use my sketchbook and Micron markers.
當我現場作畫時，我將一切保持簡單，因為四周是如此瘋狂。你沒辦法夠快地躲開人群，因為有太多事在發生；你只想要能夠抓到每件事物的正確角度。我在時裝周現場時，我就只用我的素描本和 Micron 牌麥克筆。
I'm Meagan Morrison. I am a New York-based fashion illustrator. The minute I looked up the phrase "fashion illustration," which I honestly had never heard of, it was like a world that just opened up to me. I was like, This is it. There's no better-suited profession for me.
我是 Meagan Morrison。我是個以紐約為據點的時尚插畫家。在我查“時尚插畫”一詞那一刻時，老實說我從沒聽過那個詞，一切就像是一個世界剛對我展開。我就像是“就是這個了。沒有更適合我的職業了。”
Fashion illustrator is really about, you know, taking you out of the literal plane and sort of continuing you into the imagination of fashion.
時尚插畫家其實是關于，你知道，把你從真實的平面帶出來，并某種程度上讓你延續在時尚的想像里。
When I'm home, working in my own space and doing sort of final pieces for clients, I kind of do a bit of mixed media, I...from inks, water color, acrylic, colored pencil—all of them combined to some degree. I love texture. I love color. I think those are sort of signature to my works, my final pieces. Um, and then I obviously scan and put it through Photoshop, and clean up the images to send to clients.
當我在家時，在自己的空間工作，還有替客戶們處理最終完成品，我有點用一些混合媒材，我...從墨水、水彩、壓克力顏料、色鉛筆－－那所有材料稍微結合。我熱愛質感；我熱愛色彩。我認為那些有點是我的作品、我的最終完成品的特徵。嗯...然后我很顯然掃描并把作品放到 Photoshop，將畫面清理一下好寄給客戶。
I built my client base really through the multitude of channels that I had access to and could promote myself through, and Tumblr has been, you know, amazing this season. This is the first time that I've done any sort of partnership with them—just incredible and so, so rare in New York.
我實際上真的是透過我可以使用并宣傳自己的多重管道來建立基礎客群，而 Tumblr，你知道，它這季真的太棒了。這是我第一次和他們有任何形式的合作關系－－就是太不可思議了，而且在紐約非常、非常稀有。
It's a very interesting time now because illustrators are not the traditional illustrators that they once were. It's much more of a hybrid of... I have a...you know, a large social media following. The projects that I'm being put on vary between, like, how much they wanna just use me for traditional art and how much they wanna use me for the social media part of it. You know, this struggling artist thing should not be what it was, I guess, in the past.
這是一個很有趣的時代，因為插畫家不再是他們曾是的傳統插畫家了。這比較像是種混合... 我有一個...嗯，一大群社群媒體追隨者。給我的企劃案隨之變化，像是，他們只想用我在傳統藝術的部分做多少，還有他們想要利用社群媒體那部分多少。你知道，我猜這種掙扎的藝術家玩意可能不是它過去的樣子。
Well, we have to start small. And be honest with yourself. Life can be so short. Your happiness and your life is up to you.
嗯，我們必須要謙虛地起頭。對自己誠實。人生可能如此短暫。你的幸福和你的人生取決于你。
Anyone who wants to do art in general, and, also, Tootsie Rolls because you need to keep your blood sugar up when you are making artistic genius happen.
總地來說，任何想要走藝術的人，還有，準備好 Tootsie Rolls 巧克力吧，因為在你讓藝術才華發光時，你需要維持血糖。
