pencil drawing

This happens specially to me... I work on something over and over and when it's finally finished I put away in a drawer and forget about it

I did this pencil drawing over the summer... and totally forgot to post =)

Kate Moss in pink

Hello everyone!

I am still here... So sorry I've been posting so inconsistently (or better to say not posting at all) lately.

It has been a fun summer though. 

I have been renewing my website with the help of my friend Alvaro... I really liked what he did, you can check it out here...

This is an illustration I did for it, it started as quick Kate Moss sketch to practice profiles for another project I've been working on... and after a few tries (that I will share later) the very final looks like this! and I just love it!

Hope this will make it up for my absence =)

me?... skate board?

I've always had a very nice  group of friends from highschool and ever since we graduated we all started discovering our skills, prefences and choosing different paths. Some of my very closed ones decided they were very talented for skate boarding... and of course, it came along with skiing and surfing and all those fun sports where they balance in a little flat piece of "something"...
My talent stays with brushes and paper... But I've always wanted to join them and have as much fun as they have while doing it
So... there, me having fun with skateboarding!!


Hope you like it!

dream

"Dreams are illustrations... from the book your soul is writing about you"  Marsha Norman

 

I have been working a new proyect with INSOUL. 

Insoul is a very special jewelry concept. Each of their pieces is designed with a meaning for the heart and an intention for the soul. And we have been developing an image dictionary for this... and of course DREAM is in it

Abdul Kalam said once "You have to dream before your dreams can come true."

So dream dream dream....

not so surreal

The lovely Gemma Ward...

After all my little characters are not that surreal...
they are not the only ones with thin body and very long neck... =)

I was first drawn by Alec Strang Fashion Illustrations because they remind me a bit of Laura Laine's work but extra artsy and darker touch. 

The amazing thing is that he didn't stop at fashion illustration, he created this amazing video worth watching, I was in total bliss while watching it, and just felt a big urge to start learning how to create animations with the illustrations! 

I couldn't have the video screen displayed on this post so I have the link for you...Enjoy it by clicking here.

happy 4th of July!

Because this is exactly what I have planned to do, 

lay down,

enjoy the sun, my friends, the barbacue and ...

a popsicle for dessert :)

Julia's Phone

The other day I ran into my friend Julia. She was holding in her hand a very big pink handset that look like it was for a grandma style phone...

I thought to my self, wow she really must like this handset to be carrying it around... And then the inevitable question...BUT where is the rest of the phone?

"It's for my IPhone silly!" she said...

I totally fell in love of it!

PS The exhibition went great!
