my RayBan elephant

A few months ago I was working on a project about animals, and I got so inspired by these creatures that I wanted to illustrate them... at the end the idea evolved  and ended up in this Ray Ban elephant that I like very much...=)  It reminds me of my friend Eva, she is 100% RayBan girl...

Amelia Earthart

For becoming the first aviatrix to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean on 1932... she deserves a tribute.

And voilà her illustration...

jane aldridge from sea of shoes

 

Even before I started my own blog, I have been exploring other blogs. There are so many good that inspire me, like Sea of Shoes by Jane Aldridge.

A few weeks ago she posted a series of lovely pictures that had great colors and very interesting lines...and of course, I wanted to make an illustration of her!

If you haven't visit her blog, do so! and click here

story of a girl

How about a little story for today?

 The Inspiration

The search... the endless sketching

 The finding

 The temporary hate

 More searching...

The satisfaction, the mini final

The total bliss.. the big final...

B-day Boy

 

Illustration inspired on a Vogue Italia cover 2008, this post is dedicated to my dearest friend and uncle... today is his birthday!!

He is an aries and I thought of making this little country girl & her aries-ram...

Feliz Cumple guapo!

Kareem Iliya

Mmmm, well no, this is not me....
This Is Kareem Iliya, one of my favorite illustrator and a water color expert.

She did this collaboration for Perrier-Jouët that I think is beyond amazing. 

The colors, the silhouettes, the story....

codie young

Who says 17 was young and inexperienced??

According to some she is to be the next Gemma Ward...

Codie Young

The beautiful dreamy-eyes-17-years-old-australian girl has already modeled for the big ones at the fashion shows not to mention some editorials and covers for vogue...

Perhaps that's why Australian Vogue titled this editorial Perfectly Pretty?

I must admit she reminds me of a perfect porcelain doll. And again, she's only 17 !!

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?...

AKA Cedric

 

 Even though I am pretty sure I would never wear my hair like this except may be for halloween... I think her hair is gorgeous =)

It was a present I made last Christmas, so after a few small and big sketches and tries...the original in big size (for what I am used to) 16"x16" is hanging in NYC Private Hair Salon AKA CEDRIC

PS The owner and I loved it =)

Happy Saturday
