Love Is All You Need

You may or may not choose to celebrate this Valentine's Day, but you must agree that love is simply the most beautiful gift that we all possess.
This Valentine's day illustration series of hearts is a little celebration of love: today, every day, in everyone's life!

Friday Art: First Friday

I cannot recall the name of this gallery, but there was something enchanting about its beautiful old space. As we walked thought the second floor, a group of musicians downstairs began playing a classical piece. We stood listening, watching over the balustrade of the atrium, fascinated by the magic melody, mesmerized by the whole experience.





These cool posters by an unknown artist were for grabs.

The Leaf Woman by Jordan Bruner was part of the amazing Animal Dance show installed by talented Bruner family at the Metro Space Gallery.

Friday Art: Maharam Calendar Cover

I was so excited to get the new Maharam calendar this year, the one that every interior designer gets from their local rep. Especially since I missed the one from 2011. Every year it is a surprise. While they keep the same format, the cover is embossed with a new pattern & texture, white-on-white, satin & matte. Something that reflects the aesthetics of their beautiful textiles. The year color also changes. A bright satin ribbon inside serves as a bookmark. Quality paper, beautiful font, page-by-page. Hard not to get excited!

The 2009 was my first one. I embellished it with a drawing of a bright red flower. It turned into sort of a surprise of its own: the texture and the quality of pattern took the marker in a different way, disappearing from the glossy parts, creating something totally new.

Then there was the 2010, to which I added a simple navy-blue flower.

The 2012 is my favorite! I love the two colors I selected for the illustration of a rose.
