Paris Video

Paris... 

This very homemade video goes for its beautiful townhouses, the irresistible smell of just-made croissants that chase you on the street while passing by a boulangerie, their never better macarons (of course!) and .... everything else.

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.

my travel wish

After the big rush of adrenaline I felt when realizing they had stolen my computer charger at the airport, and destroying some illustrations and sketches as a collateral damage (I can only imagine how the found it wrapped in my pijamas at the bottom of one of the hunter's rain boots s to save some space), 

I wished I knew better when it came to traveling, I guess I still have a lot to learn about how to better travel,  everything above 80% importance, I mean, dear-and-very-hard-to-replace objects are coming with me on the plain =)

Any way,  my beloved little sister was so nice she bought me a new charger.. and I was able to spend the morning learning how to add some gadgets to the blog. I must confess even if they are no exactly as I wanted them to look like, I think they totally improve the blog funcionality... now it is easier to follow the blog and share.... facebook, twitter, bloglovin'...=)

This an old illustration I made for some postcards, and my sister really really liked it...so here is for her

"You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it come true. You may have to work for it, however"  (By Richard Bach)

What are you wishes then?...

Ruben Toledo & Nordstrom

Ruben Toledo is one of my favorite illustrators... he has a very interesting and attracting imagination, his characters always have a very particular ease, fun yet dramatic strong look.

And I just found out that now he presents a limited edition book with the illustrated story of 10 years of collaboration with Nordstrom, 

Ruben Toledo's Fashion Almanac Book.

I am ABSOLUTELY buing it!! Can't wait to discover its pages... and while looking for it, I looked at this wonderfull video where we see a life drawing and painting session with Coco Rocha for Nordstrum... iyou should all check it out!
