Doodles by Danni - Fashionable pencil marks

Posted by kittyloafcreations at 04:16 PM on March 05, 2009

This weeks Industry professional spotlight is on 25 year old fashion design grad, Danni. As the creative mastermind behind "Doodles by Danni", this talented artist breathes life into "scenster" characters with vibrant colors, rainbow props and saucy expressions.

"Illustration has always played a rather large and important role in my life from an early age. Always a fan of good old-fashioned pen and paper, I eventually discovered the wonders of the graphic tablet. This bridged the gap into creating a love and motivation for digital art and all it's endless possiblities."


Danni is a published artist and has sold many of her prints on clothing, as well as canvas. After receiving a very positive reception to her artwork, she set up her own website and has been doodling more than ever! "Art creates an unspoken bond with people you have never met, but with whom you have an imaginary connection to, and that's why I continue to pick up a pencil and create new doodles every day."



CreepyQueen: How did you get started with all the doodling?

Danni: I have always loved drawing from a very young age.


CQ: Do you have any art training, or are you self taught?

D: I have done a lot of studying at school, college and university, but I think an artist's style is always self-taught. Your imagination and personality molds the artist you become.


CQ: What is the inspiration behind your designs?

D: My doodles mainly portray girls with attitude. My fashion design background is always present in my drawings, and I love inspiration from people I meet and see on the street. This, along with my imagination, creates cool girls with attitude!



CQ: Aside from drawing and fashion design, what else do you like to do in your spare time?

D: I'd love to say that I have other interests, but doodling and sewing have become my way of life. If you enjoy what you do, why do anything else?!


CQ: Where do you hope to be in five years from now?

D: I would adore to have exhibitions of my work and be a well known name for alternative art. A lot can happen in five years, but even if I'm still doing what I'm doing, I'd be happy.
