The Answer My Friend is Blowing in the Wind
Hey, hey, hey, my friends.
I just got back from L.A.
My sister and her architecture firm participated in "Canstruction L.A."
which is a can foods fundraiser for the L.A. food bank,
where they fundraise to buy can foods and they build amazing displays/structures out of the cans!
My sis's display won "Best Use of Labels".
It was incredible! So Genius! She did such an amazing job. :)
I took alot of pictures i'm going to try to post on my image diary tomorrow.
Also, my new video is going to make its debut tomorrow!
I'm really excited cause this video was kinda brutal to make,
but i think it is the best one yet :)
The painting today is Volume 1 of my Character Sketchbook.
I actually think this was my first Sketch with ink ever.
It's of Lily Cole.
I hope you like it! :)

Vintage Bicycle Photo Inspiration- Strange Story Photo?
(vintage photo circa 1900)
I melt over the little girls bicycle...ah, ha now I know why I've been leaning towards big, beautiful cream colored tires (Schwalbe Delta Cruiser Tires in creme 40-63) for my vintage Raleigh DL-1 bicycle!!!
Actually there is a lot in this photo if you take the time to look. I believe there is a story.
Fashion wise I love the side buttoned knee high boots, the white ruffled portrait collar on her dress as well.
Do tell.... what story do you think the photo is saying to you?

Welcome To the Land of Love
Last night was incredible!
The Movie was sooooo soooooo goood!
Thank you so much Lucrecia for an absolutely incredible night!
Awe, so happy it's Inspiration Friday!
The theme is "The Land of Love"
What is the Land of Love, you ask?
Well, so basically, i have this random theory that whenever i fall in love, i will disappear from "This World"
and be magically teleported to the world people call "The Land of Love". (see images below)
This is the land where there is always a fog or a smokey haze.
A land filled with Mystery & Adventure.
So with that said, i hope you like the images.
If you have any ideas for next week's Inspiration Friday theme, do let me know!
i would love to hear! :)

Save a Deer By Helping a Bunny
Hello, hello my friends! Well, just finished working and about to head down to Pasadena to
see the lovely Audrey Tautou preform in "Coco Chanel" with Fashion is Poison and alot of other bloggers.
Should be really fun!
I'm really excited!
Today's drawing of my friend, the beautiful, kind, and lovely Julia Frakes of the blog Bunny Bisous.
She asked me if I would do a painting for her for a benefit for animals that she is working with.
When i thought about painting Julia, with an animal, and for a good cause... I said yes instantly!
I have a Video of the painting that is coming soon... i think it's the best one yet! ;)
As for info on the benefit, i thought i would quote Julia on it. :)
"While I cannot reveal too many details quite yet, one of my pet holiday projects is an upcoming benefit that I am co-chairing with designer Rachel Antonoff to raise awareness about animal cruelty as manifested on two fronts: barbaric factory farms (with funds proffered to Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary) and merciless puppy mills (to benefit Maddie's Fund).
Scheduled to betide in a magnificent historical Manhattan haunt this mid-December, a killer hosting committee will preside over a silent art auction featuring works created especially in a forest and fauna theme [including the original painting above] by the likes of Kime Buzzelli and Danny Roberts alongside special musical performances by fun., Steel Train, and other sublime surprise guests. " - Julia Frakes
P.S. I'm currently really, really, sorry and really frustrated... I got all your comments back cause i switched back to igorandandre.blospot.com
but now all your new comments are gone... :(
Forgive me! Don't worry, i'm done changing everything. It will stay this way for good...
I pasted below the comments that got deleted.
Again, so sorry for that!
{colour inspiration: glimpses of pink}
. . . one of those weeks with a half a million unfinished projects, back-to-back appointments and invitations every evening -- it's beginning to feel like the holidays {which i adore} . . . slowing things down a little with perfectly pale and pretty glimpses of pink . . .
{p.s.} thanks for the great blog recommendations so far!
