This is my vision for the next léptica poster announcing their next publication.
Maybe they pick it up!

Since I was a child I liked to draw princesses and say "that is me". When I started Fine Arts I needed models and I was the cheapest and most patient one.
When I started illustrating again it's been a recurrent topic on my illustrations. This one is for the lemondays page, just another excuse to draw myself again!


Desde pequeña dibujaba princesas y decía que era yo. Luego en la facultad y por falta de modelos pacientes empecé a hacer autorretratos.
Cuando volví a retomar la ilustración se convirtió en un tema recurrente en mis trabajos.
Este lo he hecho especialmente para Lemondays... otra excusa para autodibujarme!!

I love to collaborate and participate in different projects.
There is a nice one called Léptica where you can be a part of a community. Share your thoughts, images and writings.
"Deseo" (desire) is the obsession they are exploring now. Here you have my first submission.

It's been a long time, but I wanted to start again my IF routine. Hope you like it!

This is just a quick sketch to celebrate the Earth Day. Please, keep it clean and safe!

“I will possess your heart”, a song by Death Cab For Cutie, is the inspiration for the 13th issue of Carpaccio Magazine.
I participated with this hand-lettering drawing and with the series of dripping hearts I made some months ago together with one of my husband's poem


The Hunter

In a very circular moment,
her figure repeated was.
the wind blew without mercy,
not knowing destiny, for me, a surprise had.
Not too long it took

For this Hunter to be bitten

His hands were swollen up

His heart poisoned and defeated.



Her fangs, filled with poison,
words of sweetness and seduction are,
poisoning a man’s soul,

Her first Hunter today, she’s ready for lunch…

 
In seconds her poison ran through my veins
leaving me useless and numb,
whipped by her knowledge
on how to destroy a man's soul...

I really felt foolish and dumb.

It felt like an eternity
for her poison to slowly caused an effect

all of a sudden life was an excuse
something I felt to regret.

It looked like the end and it really was
without mercy she swallowed my heart
slowly delighted by the flavor of my tears
as I was dragged along with my hopes and fears...

But destiny, as wonderful and mysterious as it is,

and beginners luck showing the way,
Distracted was this predator of day and night
she had a weakness...

that weak spot she never thought I would find…

 

As I escaped from this ferocious beast
and the path clearer and safer was
Turning on that corner of freedom

Temptation with me crashed
another beautiful beast for this beginner to catch...

I'm still working on my fish project. Here you have some more drawings!!

I love sushi, but I think fishes have their rights! Propagate the word!!!
Here you have my weekly contribution to Illustration Friday.

I'm in a fishy mood and I have a project in mind... let's see if I accomplish it!
