Woof!

How adorable is the new addition to the Pin the Tail games on my etsy shop? You tell me! I fell in love as I was drawing it... Notice the bone pattern in the background, drawn by me as well :)

Pattern Bundles

I always look for ways to play with color and to find a good use for my doodles and drawings.
These adorable pattern bundles are just the thing!
For those who are lovers of traditional scrap booking, book making, stationary, cards, among other crafts, these designs will prove to be a great complement to your creative ideas. All of the patterns are created by me, and you can find them for sale at my Etsy store!

More Pin the Tail Fun!

Two more additions to my "pin the tail" family!
The giraffe for all your safari-theme needs and the other one a classic that never goes out of style... Pin the tail on the donkey for Mexican themed parties or any other type of gatherings where you want to bring childhood memories back...

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!

Vectorized Portrait

I love doing portraits, I don't care if they are in oil, pastel or digitally drawn. My husband was the model for this one (he is of course, one of my favorite people to look at <3). I was experimenting with color and the simplification of shapes. I think I can still simplify even more, but I didn't want it to be to abstract. Which color do you like the best? I'm particularly drawn to the yellow one, that specific hue reminds me of mangoes (kind of weird right?).

If you would like me to vectorize your portrait, just send me a message for more information!

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!

Caturday on a Monday

Ever since the time of the pharaohs in Egypt, cats have been venerated and loved by the human race (probably even before).  Although I have never been the owner of one myself, I do think they are fascinating creatures and I see them popping up in every other "meme" on facebook. So I thought, why not draw a cat?
I don't know if you have noticed, but I like round, chubby, cute figures (said figures probably remind me of myself... except for the cute part --I have been known to be the opposite of cute many-a-time--). Furthermore, this is my chubby gray interpretation of the household feline. From this cute little fellow, a whole new illustration came about. But I will show it to you on my next post...
