Je Suis Blair Breitenstein

Occupation: Artist// Fashion Illustrator
Instagram: @Blairz

Where were you born?
I was born and raised in Seattle. Now I live in New York City.

In one sentence what is unique about your work?
The girls I draw look serious but the style I draw them in is not serious,
it's playful. I think this is why people find them intriguing.

Why do you do what you do?
Every day "work" is truly fun and completely satisfying.
I don't have to waste time day dreaming of other things,
places or occupations. When I am drawing... it is a transformative experience- it takes me to another place... where things are not so serious.

What inspires you?
FASHION, Color, Texture, Unique shapes, Eagon Schiele, Picasso, Matisse, Brigitte Bardot, The 60's and 70's, Guy Bourdin, Irving Penn, Francesco Clemente, Pop culture... and the list goes on!


Describe your personal style.
Easy going. I like to be comfortable.


Your ultimate must-have.
Black leather jacket and a good white t-shirt.

What superpower would you have and why?
Time travel!!! I am very inspired by culture of other decades... their are so many decades I'd love to explore first hand.

Next up... I am collaborating with a jewelry line, we are currently in the stages of creating a cohesive mood board that will be the backbone of our collaborative pieces.
