I'm In Teen Vogue Pt. 2 :)

Hey morning friends!
So i'm trying to start this new year off right which means i've been cleaning & getting organized like there is no tomorrow!
As i was cleaning, i stumbled on my issue of TeenVogue, and realized i never Posted it!
What is wrong with me! hahaa
Seriously been so disorganized lately!
Sorry for that.
But here it is! i had the honor of contributing some prints for TeenVogue's Room Make Over.
I Love TeenVogue! Seriously everyone over there is the nicest people i have ever met.
And i love the concept of room make overs.
I'm so happy Paola Henriquez, one of the winners, got my prints. They fit perfectly in her room.
I really hope you like them, Paola :)
and thank you Jane for having me be part of this project :)

My Lee Alexander McQueen Tribute is on the Cover of The Sunday Times London!

So my Friends...
I'm pleased to announce the most amazing thing ever...
My Tribute painting of Lee Alexander Mcqueen is on the cover of The Sunday Times Magazine -London!
Seriously, my mind has been blown for the last 2 weeks when I found out that my tribute painting was going to be on the cover...
I mean, I think this is the most humbling honor ever.
McQueen has been by far my favorite designer since I first started studying Fashion Design.
He was the source of inspiration for countless paintings and Art pieces.
Never in my wildest imagination, when I first discovered McQueen,
could I ever have dreamt that my little tribute to him would end up on the cover
of the The Sunday Times in his home town.
I seriously don't know what to say....
I'm so glad to be able to share it with yawl.
I hope you're having a wonderful Sunday.

I'm In Teen Vogue - Officially My Childhood Dreams have Come True!

OK SO....
Officially My Childhood Dreams have Come True!
I'm in Teen Vogue~!
So i have to say, out of all the Features i've had, i think i'm the most excited about this one!
No joke! i remember, back my junior year in high school, thinking
"It would be the Coolest thing ever to be Teen Vogue"
haha I was thinking that because i had my own clothing company in high school,
but it's so trippy that it actually happened!
haha Well thank you so much Teen Vogue,
and thank you to you all for being wonderful!
I pasted the article text below. :)
Oh and it's the lovely Karlie Kloss on the Cover! woot woot!

P.S. I know this is a little random... But i started a tumblr Page Called "Inside My Brain", Since Igor + André is Art, and The Dream Walking Society is for Inspiration, I thought i would do one that is more of a steady stream of consciousness :) hope you like it


"When Danny Roberts started drawing wide-eyed portraits of models back in art school, fashion served as “a doorway into a dream world” for the native Californian. Now 24, he has since walked right through it, embraced by the very insiders he depicts, including Karl Lagerfeld and plucked-from-the-runway beauties. “I look for people who have something I feel I can capture on paper,” Danny explains of his subjects. His next-big-thing status has led to industry friendships and coveted collaborations, like a recent partnership with creative powerhouse Gwen Stefani, who invited Danny to contribute artwork for her Harajuku Lovers line. “Getting that e-mail and discovering Gwen Stefani was reading my blog [Igor & Andr] was pretty bizarre,” admits the artist, who is anything but jaded by all the high-profile attention. “Seeing my bags in Bloomingdale’s was a trip. The day they came out, my whole family went and took pictures!” So how might he react to one day spotting his own fashion label in stores? Danny–who founded a T-shirt company as a teen and studied fashion design in college–hopes to find out. “The work I’m doing now is kind of a roundabout way of getting there. I’ll probably end up starting my own label eventually, but for now I’m keeping a notebook of clothing designs, just for fun.” –E.G. From TeenVogue

A Self-Portrait for Models.com

Hello friends,
How is your weekend going?
Mine was great!
We celebrated my mom's birthday,
and then had a family reunion today.
It was amazing seeing everyone.
Well for those of you who didn't see the Models.com article.
the painting above is the Self Portrait i did for them.
I have to say i think it's my favorite Self Portrait so far.
I really hope you like it! :)

P.S. Have you all seen Gossip Girl? Someone said they thought they saw my painting in Chuck Bass's room?
I've never seen the show and don't know who Chuck Bass is... but am dying to know if the painting was in there?
I think that would be funniest/coolest thing to see if it is in the background.

P.S.S. Thank you idiom row for the portrait you painted, you're amazing!

My "Alice in Wonderland" for Forever21

Hey Friends, well i have some exciting news!
Today, I was featured in Forever21's magazine. Also, the article mentioned a little something about a Little Collaboration i'm doing with Forever21!! :)
I'm really excited about it. The Collaboration is still a little bit away from coming out. As far as the magazine, I did a few paintings for the "Alice in Wonderland" editorial. As I did the painting, I thought I would make a drawing process video for yawl. So this video was born out of it.
It is crazy, I had to speed the video up 6,000 times faster! haha
There is going to be a give away of my 2 limited edition prints of my paintings for F21. If you want to win one, click and enter in the give away.

Oh also, the song from the video was written by my really good friend Tim Frost. I stay with Tim & his wife Deanda every time i go out to Texas. But there is a cool story with the album. Tim wrote this album for his son, who loved Nintendo sound effects. So he wrote this full album inspired by video game sounds. Basically, it's completely brilliant, and is one of my favorite albums! The album's name is "Beadbox"! haa How awesome is that. I draw to this album all the time. He just put it up on itunes. If you want to buy it click here! Also, thank you so much to Elite Model Management for your post of my painting of Masha Kirsanova.

p.s. thanks for the formspring questions. i started the account to answer more personal questions than professional, if you have professional questions, email info@igorandandre.com . If you have questions, go to: http://www.formspring.me/DannyJRoberts

"Divine Tops

The Fashion World is in Love at First Sight with Blog Igor + Andres Model Drawings

Under this pseudonym hides Danny Roberts, a 22-year-old young artist trained in fashion design and a lover of models, whose drawings have gone beyond the virtual world. Roberts has already collaborated with three labels, nothing surprising considering he started his own t-shirt company when he was 13! Who are his favorite iconic models? The Ward sister, Gemma and Sophie. Their look is from another world—innocent and sophisticated. Roberts, who has drawn more than one hundred versions of Gemma Ward and Lily Cole, notes Egon Shiele, Aubrey Beardsly, Irving Penn, and Steven Meisel as influences. He is a fan of vintage Vogue and Vanity Fair covers, and would love to collaborate with McQueen. What’s next? He’s illustrating a children’s book written by Sophie Ward, publishing his own book, making short films, a cd…

Happy Vogue Germany Friday!

"Californian Danny Roberts draws hundreds of runway looks and fashion magazine covers on his blog named "Igor & André". His excellent illustrations speak for themselves. Now his pictures become fashion: Several labels use his works on their outfits such as Gwen Stefani's (fashion line) Harajuku Lovers.
At Vogue.com you can see a selection of his creations."


WOW! So today was an amazing day, packed with wonderfulness! haah
I woke to being featured in Vogue Germany! (which is always a good start of the day).
Then, I met with the wonderful Aurora from GenArt,
and spent the rest of the day drawing.
Sounds pretty nice, huh? haha

So I've been going through the all the old Disney Classics lately.
Seriously, I don't think there are any better movies made!
Watched Dumbo a few nights ago, and then Bambi last night.
My mind was blown!
This may sound silly, but i think Bambi is the best movie made, out of any movies.
It's perfect. Absolutely perfect!
I hope to make a movie like it some day! :)

In Vogue Brazil!

Hey Friends!!@
How are you doing today?
I'm having a wonderful day.
It's pouring rain outside and my windows are open with cold fresh air pouring in.
I'm just sitting and painting & listening to an amazing playlist of music.
The music definitely fits the mood for today.
I'm water coloring right now.
It's my first time in a really long time that i have used actually straight up water colors.
I forgot how much i like to water color!

Oh, so the other day i was asked what i listened to when i make art,
which gave me an idea...
I was thinking of making a my own Online Radio Station,
where i would Broadcast the music i'm currently listing to as i paint.
That way, if you all wanted to you could listen and sit and paint along!
Let me know what you think of the idea. :)

OK, so you know how my favorite hobby is drawing Vogue Covers, well....
also, I'm featured In VOGUE Brazil!!
How amazing is that! i'm kinda flipping out! haa
It's such an honor, especially having my work sitting next to
Andy Warhol & Christian Lacroix art work.
The article is incredibley well written and super interesting.
It's on the history of Fashion Illustration and how it's beginning to return again.
Thank you, Cynthia, from Vogue! You are incredible.
