Happy Holidays

I'm going to my hometown to celebrate de Holidays for a few days, but I'll be back here very soon. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas!

Portrait of Mar

A new comissioned watercolor portrait. This time it's Mar and her favorite things, the countryside and her horses.

A sweater for my iPad

I got myself an early birthday present, an iPad Mini, and of course, I had to knit a sweater for it. I designed the pattern to show the colors of this lovely yarn I bought last year in Porto and, even though the fair-isle is a bit wonky, I love it. It keeps my iPad safe and warm :D

Springtime in Paris

Watercolor illustration for the 2013 Snowflake Ball in Canada, a charity ball that raises funds for Crohn’s Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, and Colorectal Cancer. The theme of the Ball is "Springtime in Paris" and that's what I tried to capture in this watercolor.

Party Smarty

Some new work for the great people at American Girl Magazine (thank you, Dan!). This time, a double spread titled "How to be a Party Smarty" with fun tips to survive the Holiday season family gatherings. You can see more details of the illustrations in my portfolio.

Brigitte

Remember this post about my illustration process? Last week I got samples of the printed book on the mail, and even though I'm a bit sad that all those fancy meats on top of the illustration got lost on the final cover design, it's always very rewarding to see the final work on print. I love working on book covers like this :D

I also designed and knit this minimalist tweedy grey pair of mittens for my dear friend Ada. She got them just in time for her birthday and they fit her very well, I hope they keep her warm during the cold polish winter.

Badass

Kicking monday in the butt by doodling a badass lady.

Walking girl

Yesterday I got in the mail this awesome print by Ping Zhu, and it's already hanging on my studio. I really admire her work, she has the best line work and dry brush technique. She makes me want to be unfaithful to my watercolors and have a fling with gouache.

Also, I finished knitting that striped cowl in the softest merino yarn. It's a seamless loop, the ends were grafted together and you can't notice where the ends meet. And I was interviewed here, only in spanish, sorry!
