Re-integrating the Daily Fashion
After 5 months of experimenting on the DailyFashionProject.com I have made the decision to reintegrate the Daily Fashion into sunflowerman.com.
It was a great experience to set the Daily Fashion on its own. To let it run wild and free but ultimately, I have stretched myself too thin. The administrative work of maintaining two sites, traveling and painting all day has proved too exhaustive.
At the beginning I was excited and passionate about the move.
I focused solely on the Daily Fashion, forgetting my fashion illustration work for Sunflowerman.
Then the next relocation arrived. Athens to Fort Worth.
I missed a few days of Daily Fashion to make the journey.
Then there was the week in Vegas for a trade show.
No Daily Fashion.
Then there was a week long road trip up to Wilmington, DE.
No Daily Fashion.
Then there were the pressing deadlines for the Sunflowerman Fashion Illustrations.
No Daily Fashion.
Part of my struggle was dealing with this new system I had set up for the illustrations. The system was exciting, and I was able to process the illustrations predictably.
But that stole much of the joy and freedom that the Daily Fashion gave me. The purpose in starting the Daily Fashion from the beginning was a way to share stories and to start each day with a fun illustration.
I've recorded many of the illustrations in the 4 step process and plan to publish a book on the experience. It will be a great study on systems in illustration and the Sunflowerman process.
Before I begin sharing the new illustrations (yes I have begun new Daily Fashion Illustrations) I will publish the DailyFashionProject.com stories that didn't make it onto Sunflowerman.com, back onto Sunflowerman.com.
For a couple weeks there will be several illustrations published each day to catch us back up to the present day.
Thank you for your patience and your long-suffering support,
Cheers,
Sunflowerman

‘Ever Since My Childhood I Always Noticed What People Would Wear…’

‘I dress for myself As a clothing-obsessed individual. I became the go-to resource for my mate’s fashion-related questions. As a response, I started ‘The Dapper Label’ to share my opinions on men’s style.
The Dapper Label serves as an agent for those with an appreciation of quality and style. Its always how a person is dressed that speaks for them. I feel it just gives you so much more confidence and respect if you dress dapper! Your dressing speaks for you even when you’re not saying anything! That’s the power of a well dressed man!
Ever since my childhood I always noticed what people would wear & how they would team up different pieces. Sadly, in India there are very few people who go out of their way to dress well and not stick to the usual boring attire. My blog is constantly evolving & I hope I can spread out to everyone and give them that little push to dress well & look dapper!'

The Daily Fashion Project is all grown up!
In order to give the Daily Fashion Project all of the respect it deserves I have given it a place of its own. This last 9 months of growing and evolving DFP has been amazing. Thank you for all of the support and the submissions.
The stories keep getting more intimate and the quality of the illustrations is growing to match.
