Creepy dolls on Polaroid

A while ago I came across these amazing Polaroids by Anne Bowerman on Flickr. They're a perfect mix of delicate and creepy.

Cold dog

Just a silly little watercolor I made while testing a new paper (Fabriano Artistico Watercolor) and Winsor & Newton frisket. Autumn is coming, and I can't wait for the fallen leaves and crisp, chilly air.

Weekend in Porto II

More photos from my weekend in Porto. It's like living in a dream world for crazy cat ladies (like me).

Weekend in Porto I

Last weekend I was in Porto visiting my dear friend Cristina Regadas. We spend three days walking, shooting, talking and eating good stuff, it was amazing. And I really fell in love with Porto, I'm already daydreaming about living there. These are a few film shots from the first roll, taken with my Contax 139Q.

In other news, there's free worldwide shipping in my Society6 store until sunday. It's the perfect chance to get one of my prints!

Kitties

Custom portrait of a dear friend's cats I made last week. He doesn't usually wear a bowtie, though. That would be cool!

Beatnik

Today I finished knitting my last sweater, Beatnik. I used this free pattern and I love how it turned out. Now I can't wait for colder weather to be able to wear it! It reminds me of this Jcrew sweater I came across in Miss Moss blog.

Best year ever!

Here are some illustrations for the September/October issue of American Girl Magazine. This was a very fun job (as usual with AG) and I'm pretty happy with how it looks on print. This time I had the chance to experiment with some custom made vector textures for the backgrounds, which I had never done before with any commissions. I think I'll use them more in the future.

Also, drawing school supplies? seriously? I was in heaven! I would go back to school again just to go shopping for notebooks, pencil cases, folders, pens...

September

It's september, and that means the end of summer is almost here. Even though it makes me a little sad to say goodbye to the endless summer days, September is my favorite month of the year.
