Oisch!

I had to make a print with one of my favorites words... OISCH!
(I love the print, but I think the t-shirt is funny, check it here)

Happy Tuesday!

It's going to be a great week ;)

I don't know you, but I woke up full of energy and with zillion of ideas in my brain. Awesome! Hopefully the energies and the productivity vibes are going to be high the whole week. Did you hear me Universe??? energy + productivity, that is my sweet request for the week... Ahhh and also, please, I want KNOW my dear husband is having a super duper great positive checkup at the doctor today, ok? That is MUY importante, ok?
Well, because I know the Universe is listing my sweet request, I have to do my part too and work and be proactive and all those awesome things.
and look... I have been doing my part! Here 3 cool things to share with you ;)

1.- I have some cool new artwork totally ready in my shop with names and everything!
Here is "Azure Treasure" (original painting on 8x8 canvas)

3.- Mr. Harper and I went to the mall yesterday and of course I had to do a couple of very important stops. First, to check The Elephant at Urban Outfitters and after that, Barnes and Noble to see my blog banner in the Banners We Love in the summer edition of Artful Blogging! Yeahhhh :)

Happy Monday!

Happy Wednesday!

more about the process and a new print

Thanks for the comments regarding my process to create my original art on canvas. I got a couple of questions regarding my idea of covering the canvases with newspaper and paper mache. I do it because I LOVE the texture! You don’t need to do it, but if you want to create a little bit different and interesting texture on you canvas I totally recommend you to do this.
I really love to see a little bit of the newspaper under the paint. What you think?



Also, I got a couple of question regarding my pens. I use Koh I Noor Rapidographs pens with black ink. I can’t live without my pens ;).
If you have more questions about my process or materials, go ahead and leave me a comment ;) I will try to respond tomorrow!

Before leaving I want to let you know about something “new” on my shop. Well… the print it’s not new at all, but after many request, I finally I have the print in 11x14.
Check the listing here!



Happy Tuesday!

Downtime

Things have been quite here. I think I’m in my Downtime phase. I’m trying to organize my mind and brainstorm about the next step. Right now I think it’s ok to just allow the world to go by and refuel my creative mind ;) I think right now is a good time to do nothing, and I’m giving myself permission to be on downtime, at least for a few days!I’m looking forward for the next 4 days.
You are not going to believe it, ort maybe you think I’m just nuts (well, I think that too) but the next four days are going to be great. I’m going to chill, drawing and planning the next creative projects watching THE MASTER. Yeap… GOLF. And I can’t wait.

Before leaving you to enjoy my golftime downtime, I want to show you the new prints available in my shop.

Happy April!

Cute new patterns

Well, I guess by now you are a little bit tired of seeing patterns with birds and little flowers, but honestly, I think those little things make super cute patterns and designs.



I think they are cute! (And they are in my Society 6 shop)

And how about something to decorate your kids room or nursery? What you think?

P.S: And those Owls and Birds patterns are coming on fabrics SOON SOON SOON.. Stay tune!

Happy Tuesday :)

My big plan for 2011...

Print in my shop :)
Which is your plan for this year?
Let me know your 2011 word and I will create a custom prints...

Ganesha, Lord of Success

Ganesha is favorite Hindu Deity. He is the son of Shiva and Parvati and has an elephant head. He is the Lord of Success and destroyer of evils and obstacles.
I have been looking for a wall hanging Ganesha to put next to the door, but I haven’t found the perfect one. During the last weekend, I decided to draw my own Ganesha and make a print.

I posted my drawing on my Society 6 and my Etsy shop, and I already ordered a T-shirt for myself :) I can’t wait to receive it!

Also, I create this other version of the drawing using the quote: “The key to happiness is having dreams. The key to success is making your dreams come true”
Hope you like it.

Happy Tuesday!

Me and my pets

First, THANK YOU so much for all the supporting and encouraging comments in my last post. You don’t have idea how much your words mean to me. THANK YOU! I have been learning I’m not a super duper star and not everybody will love my designs or the things I do. I really know and understand that… but still its’ hard when you REALLY like something and you don’t get the response you want, and that is life ;)
Again… THANKS! You made my day :)

OK. Now it’s time to show you more of my pet drawings obsession. I guess soon I’ll(and you will) get tired of me painting animals and I’ll switch to other subject (indeed I’m already drawings something different, but that is for other post!).
Look what I did… a little bunny! My brother decided the name is Danielle.



And because I have getting request for some custom orders of my little pets, I’m listing new “Kids Inspired art décor prints”. These 6 designs will be in my shop at the end of the day.

Happy Wednesday

Mixed feelings

Today I’m feeling:
-Disappointed. Every time I participate in any of the Spoonflower contest, I really do it because I enjoy the challenge and the contest gives me a little bit of “push” to design something. Of course, if my design finish in the Top Ten, that is awesome. Well, my last design (In woodland) wasn’t in the Top Ten yesterday :( I usually NEVER get disappointed for something like that because as an artist you learn to grow thicker skin for those situation, but honestly I feel a tad sad yesterday. I REALLY liked my design, I mean REALLY. Indeed I’m working a whole collection base in that design because I think have great potential. So… doesn't matter what they say, I still love so much little fabric ;)

Ahhh and BTW, this is my submission for the 2011 Calendar :) Here the link if you want to vote.

-Pleased. I can’t help, but every time I see my work in real products, I feel super happy.
I ordered a runner from my Envelop shop and I think looks great!

BTW, my sister Andreina have the same runner in her apartment in Amsterdam ;)


A couple of weeks ago, my husband ordered a cover for his iPhone 4. I took a picture of the case next to the original drawing :)

And the same week, Jeanne from Dirty Laundry got the same case ;)

-In love. Seriously… I love this cow now!

You can check My Mooooo friend (and iPhone cases) here.

-Exited. The weather is super beautiful today. I can’t wait to go out tonight and party to celebrate the first Friday!

Happy weekend everybody!
