Singhild's gift
My dear beautiful Ms S asked me for a tote with one of my ladies do's on it. Given that my life has been incredibly busy it has taken me more than a year to sit down and do it. Do you guys think I shoud add them to the shop (this one is a hand-drawn original)?
PS: excuse the quality of the picture: I had to raise myself on my toes to show the bag and I was unstable :)

The bad conscience
It's been 10 days since my last post and my bad conscience is killing me. I don't even know how this has happened. I guess that I've had so many things going on that I haven't even known how to get back on blog track. So, here's the last few days:
-Basically, Mr. M. and I have learnt it's moving time again (most probably). This makes us happy for all the new possibilities, but we feel that Barcelona has been really awesome to us, and feel like our time here has been so short.
-This has also leads to having to act upon the future of my education. We'll see how that goes.
-I've also learnt to paint with liquid watercolours rather than acrylics and I'm in a very blissful Rothko fase. Pictures to come.
-My vegan heart does not take the zoo drawing lessons that well anymore. But I've developed a new personal style.
-Spring isn't quite happening yet.
-I've cut my hair so short I still don't recognize myself in the mirror.
-Fantastic Mr Fox only opened in cinemas now and we loved it.
-Alice in Wonderland did not meet expectatives.
I'm hopefully back now!

At the zoo!
This is a hard one.
This semester half of my drawing lessons are going to be at the zoo.
Now, as a vegan, I feared that I'd find it hard to swallow.
But the truth is, I have not seen mistreated animals (admitedly the big felines didn't seem very lively); and it's been well, fun! and challenging, too.
You see, the last semester we had endless (a class is 3 hrs long) amounts of fun drawing toga-ed up statues and architectural elements and vegetables (which I liked the most). All, with no pictures or rulers or any other accessory than eyes and hands.
I look forward to understanding better how zoos work and how I feel about them, and, in the meanwhile, draw a lot.
(I befriended a goat which seemed to really like my coat; a great, wise turtle sniffed me out and decided to walk away; a vulture as tall as me kind of charged towards me, a dolphin pooed right on my face (there was glass in between us), flamingos wore fluorescent feathers; and hippos had really tiny legs)

And also, new PaperBling! HooHoo!

The IT totes
Remember when we were all rich and watched Sex and the City and spent thousands on It Bags? (I was too young and veggie back then to have one).
Well, just like dinousars are cool because they are extinguished, so can the It Bags. Se more in the shop.

A work in progress (Frida)
I am feeling like having a Frida revival. I am totally fascinated by her story and the simplicity but brutal honesty of her work. And, needless to say, she is a style icon (facial hair optional).
So I've decided to investigate her by drawing her.
I have started taking pics at different stages for you to see how I work. I actually love doing portraits, and have been missing it with all the linear hair work and paper cutting. There's still work left to do (although I do like the "unfinished" look, and it's more richly coloured in real life).
This is based on a picture by Nickolas Muray.

Stuart Pearson Wright
Mr M. and I saw an illustration on a book cover and we both stopped and said "this is so amazing!" (kinda happened like that). The style rung a bell and it's because Stuart Pearson Wright is the artist that pictured J. K. Rowling for the Portrait Gallery in london. He's an absolute portrait god (and he's only 33). Enjoy more of him here.
