I found Alyson Pearson's art when I googled vintage shoes and the search pulled up her shoe anatomy drawing, which I love. It led me to her Redbubble.com page, where you can see more of her delightful art. I thought I'd ask her what inspires her and share with you some of her art!
What do you do?
My day job is Art Director of a natural health, environmental magazine. My whenever-I-get-the-time job is illustration and handmade greeting cards/garments.

How did you get started?
I always enjoyed Art in High School, then after a couple of years out of school I decided I wanted to do something with my life that was creative and used illustration it was then that I discovered Graphic Design and I studied it in Sydney. From there I worked as a designer at a textiles company and got in to creating my own pieces.

What advice would you give to someone else trying to make their ideas a reality?
Stick to it. It takes time to develop a style that is your own and to get out there.
I'm still working on it!
