Instagram & Other Obsessions...

 

After much resisting due to time constraints and whatnot, I decided to open my very own Instagram account. Here is Quesito expressing my current situation and inviting you to follow me via the popular app.
I am now addicted since there is instant gratification after posting. I feel the love!!! Join me as I embark on my new quest to conquer the world one illustration/painting at a time.

You Are Invited...

 

My painting professor (and one of the three most influential men in my life) organizes an art exhibition every year for his pupils to have the opportunity to showcase their work in a gallery. It is called "Painting in the Gardens" based on the theme of the Summer class where the artwork is produced. I was chosen to design the invitation and I'm very proud of the design!

I used one of my paintings for the background, applied several effects to it and then used a vector baroque motif to finish the composition. The typography is simple and elegant and the colors I believe fit the mood of the event.

I want to thank my husband for always giving me constructive criticism and helping me achieve this look.

If you are in the area don't hesitate to pass by. The opening night is always great!

Sooo cheesy

Here is the other one. Simple, cute, funny and quirky. Just what the doctor ordered...

Cheesy & Sketchy

 

 

The other day I sketched a mouse (shown on top) on my phone with the stylus my friend Vanessa got me for my birthday. I loved the shapes and the simplicity of it, so I re-drew it and developed it further in Adobe Illustrator. I thought it was an appropriate time, since Sunday I painted a cat and posted it in my other blog.
How cute is he?!?
I made another variation of this one, but I will show you on my next post...
