La Constelacion Pica Pica

This is a recent drawing I did for a spanish book " La Constelacion Pica Pica" which is about a little girl with mastocytosis, a disease created by the presence of too many mast cells. It affects many internal organs and there is no known cure. Here the character is stressed and worried as she's lost her cat therefore her spots darken (the disease can worsen when a patient is under stress). It's in production at the moment and will soon be available to purchase, the money goes straight to the charity.  Sorry but for now only available in Spanish.

Adventure

This fellow's off on a bit of an adventure with his best mate. Inspired by the huge guys I see over here driving the old Fiat 500's, they barely fit. Everything's smaller here in Italy. Drawn for the Illustration Friday's blog's subject "Adventure"

Crooked




Here's my version of Illustration Friday's topic 'Crooked' He's the kind of crooked character that you wouldn't ever want to have to borrow money from. I resisted the temptation to use photoshop on this and it therefore took about 2 hours to find all the letters by flipping through a not so recent edition of Vogue magazine. I quite like the hand done result.

Magic Chopsticks for Sale

This is a drawing I did recently for a spanish book called "Se vedita la verita magica" written by  the talented author Isabel Deron. The story is about a girl who's mother suffers from the debilitating disease LUPUS. Although it's a serious subject matter, it's a magical and positive tale. The girl stumbles across an ad in the newspaper which leads her to a chinese restaurant where she's given some magic chopsticks and 2 wishes. The story raises awareness of the disease and can also be bought by LUPUS associations to raise money for their charities. Visit http://www.sweetylondon.com/ for more information about the book  www.lupus.org.uk/whatislupus/whatislupus.htm for more information about LUPUS.

Hibernate - Illustration Friday


Which summer cut-out are you going to be after a long winter hibernation? Are you going to indulge over Christmas and New Year and enjoy all those wintery goodies with glee, OR, are you going to be nice, and in control, and say a sweet little 'No thank-you' every time you are offered an itty bitty morsel? I can tell you now which one I am going to be - Cheers!
