Two books and a spy

This week I got copies of a book with one of my illustrations on the cover, the second part of "Brigitte des Colères", and I'm currently working on the cover for the third volume. I also forgot to take photos of my illustration on the Morran book, that you can still buy at Blurb. As usual, Maggie likes to hide behind my computer and watch closely at everything I do.

Bookish

I'm so sorry for neglecting this space lately. I'm very busy with some commissions and couldn't find the time to blog. Meanwhile, here's a new watercolor piece I did a while ago. Hope you like it!

Also, I've been enjoying these podcasts a lot. Completely opposite, but both great to listen while you work. Do you have any podcasts you love? Please, share! :D

2012

Happy New Year everyone!!! I just bought my 2012 agenda to celebrate it. After almost ten years using the small Moleskine planner and filling it with collages, this year I decided to to be unfaithful and try a different brand. I bought this simple white agenda in Muji and so far I love it, it's lightweight and practical. I like starting the year with changes, don't you?

PS. I don't like making new years resolutions, but this post reminded me I haven't taken many Polaroids or made any collages in a long time. I hope I can change that this year too :D

Happy Holidays!

I'm going to my hometown to celebrate Christmas with my family, but I'll be back here very soon. I really hope you enjoy the Holidays!!!

Your back

Just a quick watercolor I made the other day to try out my new Winsor & Newton frisket. In other news, I just got my copy of the Morran book and it's awesome!! So much good stuff!!

Pom Pom

A little hat I've knit for my nephew with an improvised design and a cute little pom pom on top. I hadn't made any pom poms since I was in school, and it was so much fun! I used this tutorial to refresh my pom pom making skills. I can't wait to see him wearing it :D

Prairie Cat

Just a quick little doodle today. My cat does this all the time, it's too funny!

The Morran Book Project

The Morran Book Project is finally available for purchase at Blurb!! You can find a bigger and smaller version, and all the profits will go to charity (there's more info on Camilla's blog).  I'm lucky enough to have my illustration on both of them, it makes me terribly happy! I'm definitely getting myself a copy for Christmas, and you? 

PS. I LOVE the cover!!
