Fake Interview with "Andy Warhol's Ghost"

Liz: Andy, thanks for meeting with me today. How are you doing?
Andy: Good.
Liz: I am really excited and honored to meet you! I would like to ask you some questions about fashion and fashion illustration.
Andy: OK
Liz: Recently, on your 80th birthdqay, Marc Jacobs played you in a photo shoot for Interview magazine (June/July 2008, www.interviewmagazine.com/fashion/marc-jacobs/)
How do you feel about the choice of Marc Jacobs to portray you.
Andy: Oh, I was really flattered that they chose Marc. He's one of the most consistently innovative and successful fashion designers today. I always used to say that the best art is business art, and Marc Jacobs has certainly fit that description.
Liz: What do you mean?
Andy: I mean that there's nothing wrong with an artist embracing corporate techniques to market their work.
Liz: Some people even thought that Marc looked a little like you in the photos.
Andy: Um...Do you think so?
Liz: Actually, I think they tried to make the photos more inspired by your style than trying to do a perfect impersonation. It probably became a lot more interesting that way.
Andy: Really? I suppose that's right.
Liz: Who are some of your favorite fashion illusrators?
Andy: Oh, I love David Downton, Ruben Toledo, Sara Singh, and, oh, Megan Hess.
Liz: You did some wonderful fashion illustrations in the early days of your career. Which ones were your favorites?
Andy: Oh, I've always liked the shoe drawings the best.
Liz: Did you know that the Carnegie Museum is now called the Warhol Museum, and is the largest museum dedicated to a single American artist?
Andy: No
Liz: Thanks, Andy. It's been great talking to you today.

My drawing of Susie Bubble

Here's my drawing of Susie Bubble, based on a photo from her website ( susiebubble.typepad.com). If you don't know Susie, you should visit her world famous blog. I would like to be her "when I grow up." Most of the time she lives in London, England, where she has access to all sorts of exciting designers, stores and fashion shoes. She seems to travel the world wearing beautiful clothes, shopping and meeting interesting people. She is becoming somewhat of a clothing icon herself, being photographed at fashion events by blogging photographers.
