The girls from Doodlezine sent me a copy of the zine where I have a nice imaginative illo. It's so fun and cute!
You are still on time to get yours! Folllow them in twitter  or in FB 

Hi everyone, this week is out Doodlezine #4 and I have this imaginary doodle on it. There are just 100 copies of the zine, so if you want one, you have to be fast! Thanks to Doodlezine for chosing one of my drawings (I know many don't make it) and good luck on your next project! 

“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...

Here you can find a collaboration I've made for a Canadian Magazine The Dominion with an illustration about the soccer world cup in South Africa.
