Cute Stuff

 

Besides all the serious design stuff I absolutely love drawing/illustrating cutesy stuff. I love hot pink, bows, ribbon, glitter and other girly things. So here are a couple of things that have been occupying my hands and my thoughts lately. I love birdies, so chickadees proved to be a source of inspiration for several designs, and let's not forget "the puppy-faced bunny" just in time for easter!
These and more will soon be available as wallpaper for your phone on my Etsy store. If you like the design and would like me to convert it into something else for you, just message me!

Holiday Spirit...

Christmas is  near, there is less humidity in the air (I live in Miami), and I start to get all excited because I will be traveling to Orlando soon to see my relatives. I created these two pin the tail games thinking of the upcoming Holiday season...

As always, you can find them on my Etsy shop...

The Chicken Family

As a designer you always have "blah" moments in which you really don't want to focus on major work. As a regular person you have a few minutes here and there to use at your leisure (If they don't happen very often they become precious).

Today's post is the result of combining these two types of moments and turning them into something productive. I was sitting at the computer at the end of a work day and found myself with a couple minutes before my husband picked me up. I didn't have enough time to focus on a lengthy task, but I did have time to sketch in illustrator, so I did.

I started drawing shapes mindlessly until I drew an eye, and from there the rooster cartoon "manifested." After I was done with it, I developed the hen and the chickens. I forced myself to experiment with painting outside the lines, which is not my usual style, and ended up loving the outcome.

Later that day, I added a background and a little love message and gave it to my hubby as a little token of appreciation during our first anniversary.

Oh! The joy of no-pressure sketching!!! Take advantage of it!!!
