Illustrator of the Week: Jose Sanabria







Oh, I can't wait when I finally have my Illustration studio all set up in Mexico, so I can have a legit library because I want to buy all his books. Have you seen his clouds? it blows me away! the way he does his watercolors are so beautiful! I can't get enough of it. The beautiful way he does his transparencies and yet it look so simple but I bet is not! and  also I love the way he does little people :). 

Anyway Jose Sanabria is a Columbian Illustrator, currently living in Argentina. Go check out his WEBSITE. No seriously GO!

PS: Another reason why I like him:

"When at my drawing table I enjoy the pleasure that a carpenter a craft worker or a blacksmith does with its work. My illustrations are homage to these people whom, with nothing other than their hands, create the most beautiful objects of life."
-Jose Sanabria

Oh how I wish he had a blog or a book about his techniques and inspirations.

  1. This art is amazing. Good find. I am particularly fond of whales.

    I am trying to get my art studio set up too. Hopefully, this spring, I can build it.

    My plan is for a studio shed. Luckily my brothers are all in construction!
