2nd Blog Birthday! woot woot!

Well, my friends,
it's my pleasure to say, i've now blogged for 2 years!
Wow, time has flown by! So crazy.
It is Igor + André 2nd blog birthday,
and i have to say it's been the best 2 years.
Wow, i started this blog having never read a blog,
or really knowing what blogging was all about.
Didn't think anyone would ever read it and now 2 years later, almost a million people have stoped by.
I came on here not expecting anything,
and just wanting to share whatever project i was working on.
You have giving me so much.
Friendship, support, feedback, and so much more.
Really, words can't describe how grateful i am for you.
i mean, i wouldn't be able to spend my time making art if it wasn't for all the support.
Last year, I posted an image like this with all the Blogger Portraits,
and i spent the week trying to figure out what to post...
it was really hard, even drew a really weird birthday cake today,
but it just didn't feel right.
I mean, how do you sum up a year? or even 2 years?
Then it hit me, you look at what matters the most.
For me, I think the best thing about blogging has been the Friends that have been born out of it.
So, i thought an updated Blogger portrait image would be the best way to represent the year's bloggers.
I hope you like it.
& Thank you so much for everything.
I truly mean it. ;)

Jenna Sauers aka Jezebel Jenna

Well i know it's been a while since i posted a blogger portrait,
and it's not because i couldn't think of someone.
It's actually the opposite!
I have a list of Bloggers that i completely love and want to do a portrait & Feature,
But the only thing has been it's been brutal finding time in the day!
Well, it's crazy to think but this is the 38th blogger featured in the Series & the 50th Blogger Portrait painted!!
haha So crazy, huh?
i didn't think i had painted that many till i was filing this drawing on my computer,
and there were 50 paintings in the folder! hah
Well, I'm excited to unveil this blogger, cause she is one of my friends from New York.
Her name is Jenna Sauers and she is a former model from New Zealand,
and she Blogs & Writes for the mighty Jezebel.com.
My good friend Sophie Ward introduced us a few weeks ago at NYFW.
And it was then that i was introduced to her blog and her writing.
She is incredibly witty and has a very interesting perspective on the fashion industry.
And Team Igor + Andre (me, my brother David, Ryan + Alice Baxley) have voted her officially Best Twitter coverage of Fashion Week.
hahaah Her Tweets were amazing!!!

I did work on it, but didn't really like how it turned out... hah
But instead i have something much better than that.

Let me introduce one of my all time favorite bloggers Louise Ebel a.k.a. Miss Pandora.
I first drew Louise last year, and then later she interviewed me for Dirty Glam Magazine.
Her blog is full of wonderful whimsical photo shoots, and incredible outfits.

Need less to say, i'm a fan!
So i hope you like this portrait of her :)

Brandi Cyrus & Taylor Swift

Wow, so so so glad it's the weekend!
The last two weeks have bled into one, leaving me one tired boy!
But alas, it's the weekend! woot woot woot!
How is it going for yawl?

Ok so i wasn't sure how to categorize todays portrait...
Wasn't sure if it was going to be in the Blogger Portrait Series or Pop Culture Series...
then i realized, it's technically both, so i'm putting them in both.

Today i was talking with my really good friend Mr. Tim Brooks,
who is in the greatest most fun group alive called LUVBEAT,
and i clicked over to their Myspace Music Page to listen to their Miley Cyrus cover song they did with their neighbor, Sam.

Well, anyways, somehow i stumbled on to Brandi Cyrus's Blog,
and i had fun looking through it and reading her post.
Then i came a across this picture of her and Taylor Swift on the blog so i thought it would be fun to do a double blogger portrait of them,
cause Taylor keeps an interesting Blog on Myspace.
I really like how the picture turned out.
It was the first drawing i've done in so long on actually art paper.
It felt good! hah.
Well, i hope you all like it.

OH also congrats to Lulu of the Blog Lulu and your Mom for getting your styling in Nylon Magazine.
Also, Congrats Tavi for having your INCREDIBLE shirt featured in Vogue France!! So amazing! :)

Karlas Closet

Not quite sure how i am yawning at 9:30 at night, but i am... haa.
Today was a long one.
Finished a painting, started and finished another one,
and also organized and packaged prints to get them ready to ship.
It was long but great!

Well, the new Blogger Portrait is of Karla of the blog Karlas closet.
i have been following her blog for a while; it is a great style blog,
but last week i stumbled on to a picture of her that i had to draw.
All the lines and color and sunglasses, it just looked fun to draw.
i hope you all like it! :)

One Year Blogging!

YAY! Finally there!
I just realized today that it's My blog's Birthday!
I really am blown away that i've been blogging a year.
Thanks Dave (my bro) for getting me doing this. i truly enjoy it.
And thank you all who read this!
I'm really at a loss for words...
your encouragement and support has blown my mind.
You could never know how much it really means.
It's been an incredible journey. :)

So i had an idea of starting a annual Limited Edition Print,
that kind of sums up the year for me...
So for my first print, i thought the Blogger Portrait Series Print would be only fitting.

The Prints are 22" X 17" (53 cm X 43 cm)
Glicee Print is on Archival Fine Art Cotton Rag Paper.
The Limited Edition size: 50 Prints (only 50 print made)
All are signed, dated and numbered

Click Here to See the Print in my Etsy Store.
I really hope you all like it!
You all know how to make a boy feel good!
Thanks again for a great year. :)

Edit: just added a new picture on my Lookbook.nu page!

Perez Hilton

Hello friends!
Sorry to miss another night of posts. i think i finally have this whole internet thing worked out.
Did a long night of Karaoke last night!
I definitely sang Peter Pan's "I Don't Want to Grow Up"! haha
And then, i wake up this morning to see Mr. Perez Hilton had posted my portrait i did for him for Bloglovin.
And then i thought i would post the picture as part of the Blogger Portrait Series considering it is a blogger Portrait.
Thank you so much, Perez! :)
There will be more tonight!
I drew a Vogue cover from 1962 on the plane ride over here, not sure if it's Audrey Hepburn on it or not,
but it sure looks just like her!
Well anyways friends, 5 day count down till the wedding. i'm pretty excited.
The wedding is going to be on the beach in Alice's backyard.
Think we are going to be build a gazebo for the ceremony today.
Hope you all are doing great!
ciao :)

EDIT: Just added images in my Image Diary

A Lot of Bloggers

Ok, so i was talking with my friend on ichat,
and looking through files on my computer
when i realized how many blogger portraits there are now.
i kinda lost track and now i think there are like 24?
So crazy! Wow, so many great blogs out there.
Thanks to all of you readers and bloggers for making such a great community.

So i L-O-V-E-D Roman Holiday.
Think i'm going to see it again.
i think it just tied for first with Funny Face,
but the more i think about it, maybe solid number one.
i think part of it is because i daydream all day about traveling and going on adventures with princesses,
which is basically the movie, but yes, it was wonderful.
Thanks for suggesting it!

Oh, so for the post today, i thought it would be fun to do a post with all of the
portraits side by side straight down... hope you like!
