I’m extremely thankful that Nicky Roa created an illustrated portrait of me. Not only is he a designer and stylist, but he’s also an amazing Fashion Illustrator. He’s been telling me about this since last year because this was supposed to be his Christmas gift for me but we never got to see each other. But now, I’m so glad that he took photos of it so I can finally see how it looks like.

Isn’t it amazing? I really love what he did with the illustration, especially his detail on the eyes. But what’s more amazing about this is that this was done by hand. I can’t wait to finally receive the real thing and displaying it in my room. Also, Nicky is now blogging here on tumblr. Follow him at nickylately.tumblr.com to contact him for illustration commissions and to see how amazing he really is. All photos were taken by Nicky Roa.
