Inspiration for a Fashion Illustrator
The relationship of muse and artist. What draws the artist to the muse is a fascination and inspirations. The artist may also see something in that muse that they need for the survival of their soul. Most of these relationships are derived because both need each other, both are damaged in some way, or both share something indescribable.
Erin O'Connor is the David Downton's muse. The attraction that led him to her was aesthetic. Her features fascinated him and encouraged him to draw her. After the ongoing fascination and worship from afar, they have come to have a close friendship, a friendship that has brought beauty and creation into the world through David Downton's illustrations of Erin.
