{Illustrious Illustrator} René Bouché


If you've been a follower of my blog for a while, you probably know that I have a huuuge passion for fashion illustration. I used to spend hours and hours illustrating in my youth and that's what I wanted to do with my life. Unfortunately it's a dream that I never realized and instead of it becoming a hobby, I shelved the whole idea altogether.

People encourage me to get back to it again but between having so little time and so many other excuses the truth of the matter is that it's a really emotional topic for me. It's kind of overwhelming, it's hard to explain exactly why, but in turn I haven't broken out the easel in years.

But that hasn't squashed my love for it. I really love to look at other people's work and I truly admire those who follow their dreams. I wanted to share some of the people who have inspired me in my life and those who continue to do so to this day. And who knows, maybe one day I'll give it another shot :)

Lately I've been thinking of sprucing up my office or maybe even my bedroom with some vintage prints and I'm just loving these illustrations by french artist René Bouché. Aren't they exquisite?
