@ BILDONOVAN FOLLOWERS: 40,400 When Philadelphia native Billy moved to NYC to pursue illustrating, he changed his name to Bil—with one “l.” “I wanted a moniker that fit with my work—something simple, clean and different.” OG INSPO “As a child, I loved the episodes of Popeye where Olive Oyl spun around and her skirt would move. I always tried to capture that moment. My epiphany to become a fashion illustrator was Audrey Hepburn in Sabrina gliding across a ballroom in Givenchy.” REAL TALK “Get a strong foundation—drawing, painting, graphic design.
