Ecollustration of the week: Think Positive

Think positive. Live Positive

Best way to live life I think, So I illustrated it on my archival box, so I can see it everyday. Surprisingly watercolors work really nice on paperbags. Love it

Typewriter+watercolor= great combo to illustrate me

Thanks to technology my father has no use of his typewriter. Thanks to technology it was given to me. I love it! I plan to play with it and incorporate it into my illustrations. Here is the first try :) 

This ecollustration is  an union of symbols that represent who I am and thanks to the typewriter it can be explained.

New ecollustration, New town, New life.

The reason as to why I haven't updated as frequent as I usually do, is because well I was packing literally my life to move to a new town. So here I am in a new town: Houston, Tx. Yes, I was sad to leave behind a good place, good friends and family; but sometimes you got to see where life takes you with a positive attitude. I am excited to explore this city and see what it can offer me. I already yelped a couple things to check out. So when you are not completely settle in, but you have your sketchbook paper, watercolors, a pen and color pencils within your reach what can you do? ta-da!, we have today's ecollustration. Which is of course inspired by my recent move. I loved the idea of this quick ecollustration, so I plan to make a bigger painting to put it in one of my walls in my room.

Henna+ballpoint pen= Flute Player

I love henna.I love the body artwork that is created from it, and the beautiful color that comes out of it. Incredible that it comes from a herb whose leaves creates the red dye (Thank you mother nature, thank you ). So I always get my hand on henna to do some beautiful patterns on family and friends. Using a bit of my leftover henna  I gave it a try on watercolor paper. The experiment was not as pleasant as the tea. It was quite muddy, messy and it dried really fast. Very interesting but not regretting it. Two sites I like to visit to learn more about henna,where you can see galleries of artwork and learn about henna artists.
