One of my biggest dreams as a fashion illustrator is to see my work in major retailers, so I’m very excited to share with you this new announcement!

You can find my art on new products in 1600 Ross: Dress for Less stores nationwide! 🤩

Being able to license my art is such an amazing way for me to share my creations in a different way, with a whole new group of people (along with my already amazing group of fans.) Through art licensing, I can share my fashion illustrations on more than just stickers and art prints! Check out the video down below to see the whole range of lifestyle products featuring Rongrong’s fashion illustrations that are now at Ross!

I am so thankful to Ross: Dress for Less stores for trusting me as a licensing artist to create art for their products! Go search your local Ross store and see what you can find!

Here’s a list of what to keep your eye out for:

• 2 different Rongrong hairbrushes (a standard and a detangling hairbrush)

• 2 different Rongrong magnifying mirrors (a girl boss mirror, and a time to shine mirror)

• 3 different Rongrong compact mirrors (one featuring my iconic pug in a bathtub art, one with “the future is female” art, and one “Fryday” lipstick art)

• a set of faux lashes

I recently went to my local Ross store here in Houston and was so nervous to see if they would have any of my products! The thing with Ross: Dress for Less is that because there is no online catalog and so many stores have different stock — you have to go out and scour through the store! It was so fun to go and search for my new arrivals, it felt like a treasure hunt! If you want to watch my trip to Ross to see what I could find, check out my mini vlog below!

If you go treasure hunting for new Rongrong products at Ross — tag me in what you find! I would love to see what you get.

Today let’s hear from another alumni of Rongrong’s Fashion Illustration 101 course, Allison Fab!

Allison is a Confidence Coach for Entrepreneurs and a creator who took Rongrong’s course last year! She works with entrepreneurs helping them become more confident and comfortable being themselves, and also sells her art that focuses on the people she works with!

One thing that really drew Allison to Rongrong’s art was the representation presented in it. Representation is often times lacking in commercial art so it really caught her eye. Taking a page out of Rongrong’s book, Allison talks on how she would like to create more art that represents the people she likes to work with, specifically celebrating women in their 40s and 50s. Finding an untapped part of the market and something you are passionate about can be a huge key to your business!

Allison goes on to recount how she grew up loving art and drawing, but also is fascinated by business which really sold her on the fashion illustration course. It really gives you the best of both worlds.

A course for anyone?

While Allison feels that she was an intermediate in drawing, she was a beginner in drawing people. Rongrong makes the lessons so simple and approachable so that any art level could handle it. It is broken down to the point that nothing feels overwhelming. Even after developing her personal art style she still goes back to the videos as a fundamentals refresher.

Best part of the course?

There is a lesson at the end that walks the student through the process of taking a piece of art and turning it to a product. After sharing this with her son, Allison and him were able to take one of his own art pieces and turn it into a sweatshirt.
