Backstory Behind the Piece – Q&A with Lovely Grey

ArtCorgi (AC): What inspired you to commission an illustrated portrait of yourself?

Lovely Grey (LG): I’ve always been a big fan of art, I’m a frustrated artist myself. Hence I was always so curious about how other people and artists see me. I was very happy when I stumbled upon ArtCorgi; there are a lot of talented artists there. And I am very happy with my commissioned portrait done by Crespella.

AC: We love your style! What do you think defines it and sets it apart? Do you have any particular fashion heroes or favorite brands?

LG: My personal style when it comes to dressing up is: moody and minimal. What sets apart one’s style in general is the way a person carries herself and the image/message she wanted to convey with it. Fashion heroes: Kate Moss, Isabel Marant and Olivia Palermo.

AC: Sometimes choosing a reference photo for a commission is the hardest part. How did you choose which reference photos to send to Crespella? Is the outfit shown one of your favorites?

LG: Yes it’s one of my favorite outfits. Choosing a reference photo is not that difficult, you find a photo where you look your best or the one which mood you like best, then make minor changes later if you opt to, I mean it’s up to you to do so.
