Here’s an interview and some sketchbook pictures about the Ruby x Vans x Henrietta Harris project!
RUBY x Vans x Henrietta Harris
RUBY is excited to announce their limited edition product for New Zealand’s first and only online fashion night, Shop One Night (http://www.shoponenight.co.nz/), in association with Cleo Magazine.
Talented illustrator Henrietta Harris has customised ten classic Vans Authentics to be sold only online atwww.shop.rubynz.com on Wednesday 5th June.
Capturing Henrietta’s signature style, the limited edition Vans feature motifs from Henrietta’s on-going sketchbook she keeps, to explore fresh and informal ideas.
Henrietta says of the collaboration, ‘Taking RUBY’s fun & playful aesthetic, I wanted to create ten individual pairs of shoes which a RUBY girl would be in to. I tried to mix up the themes and aesthetics as well, to reflect my own artistic taste and practice!’
With only ten of these very special Vans, they won’t stick around!
The Vans Authentics are available for purchase from www.shop.rubynz.com from 5.00pm on Wednesday 5th June for $199.

incendio-espirit asked: Hello Henrietta! For my year 13 artwork I would like you use aspects of your work and apply them to my own. I was wondering how the process of your drawings come about and how long it takes for you to create one individual piece :) Thank you very much. Jaimie.
Hi Jaimie!
I’m a bit hesitate to go into the process as it’s something I worked on for a long time and I truly believe one thing that makes the art I love effective is the wonder behind it, where you have no idea how they arrived at a certain place. Perhaps my art isn’t quite at the level but I have to have my secrets, right? To simplify it though, my process is draw something, and paint that something.
My drawings take me anywhere between 20 mins and 3 hours and the paintings, between one or two or four solid days work.
Good luck for your Year 13 stuff! I’d love to see what you come up with!
Henrietta
Anonymous asked: hey i'm 14 years old and i've always loved art but i've been losing interest in it through my depression, etc, etc. but your artwork is very inspiring and one day i hope to be as talented as you are! much love, anon xoxo
Hello anon,
I’m very pleased and flattered I inspired you. Art helps me a lot too, don’t stop drawing mate!
Much love back
ohheycindy asked: oh my goodness, henrietta, your work is so wonderful. i dropped out of art school a couple of years ago because it was awful and everyone was an arsehole. it knocked my confidence quite a bit and made me lose a bit of faith in the art world in general. just wanted to let you know that looking at your work is inspiring me to get back into it again - you seem like an excellent human and it's nice to see that people like you can make it! much love.

Anonymous asked: hello! i absolutely love your work - your watercolours are so clean and detailed that you've actually inspired me to dig mine out again and try to create something other than a gigantic mess. i have a question about your portraits - do you sketch from life/people you know? (in which case you have very beautiful friends) thanks!
Thank you so much! I work both from found images and photos I take myself. I work 90% from reference images though, not still life. I DO have beautiful friends also.
