An Illustrator Overseas: Geneva: Carouge

Carouge is one of the prettiest town in Geneve.

There are a lot of signs like this one, so far I've seen two types.

"Respect the environment"  how cute it brought a smile from me.

"Thank you for thinking of those sleeping" These signs are done by local illustrator ZEP 

I had to take a picture of this handsome fella, how could I refuse when he posed for me?.

I decided to add another category to my blog for my travels

"An Illustrator Overseas".

I'll try to keep them short and somehow with a connection 

to illustration or art. 

Mattias Ink

This week's illustrator is Mathias Ink. As someone who loves to draw little caricatures ("Littletures") I love to see other illustrator's little caricatures. Mattias inks lives with his wife and two children in Sigtuna outside of Stockholm, Sweden. Mattias has an Masters of fine arts in graphic design( at HDK , school of arts and crafts Gothenburg). He works with watercolors and ink, and his sketchbooks are mind-blowing! seriously they are amazing, it makes my sketchbooks cry (is ok my dear sketchbooks is ok) so definitely check out:

Process: Le Petit Prince

So I finally got to work on one of the paintings for my postgraduate applications. I showed a while back a sneak  peek of the sketch, here is a bigger sneak peek of what I done so far:

I softly render it so it can guide when I watercolor tones.

I'm now experimenting with ink, let's see how that'll turn out versus my usual just pencil.

J'adore Le Petit Prince!

Salut from Geneva!

I'm finally starting to settle here in Geneva, finally got the hang of the public transportation, started my french classes, and added to my diet the constant consumerism of cheese, chocolate and wine :)
Today is such a beautiful day, at the moment I'm sitting here in the balcony of my cousin's cozy home and couldn't help but do my homework, a quick sketch and now getting back to blogging.



OH before I forget :


misscupcakes, Stephanie Ayres, Laura G.Young and Malka Michaela you will receive a postcard, so if you haven't emailed me your address and what you want illustrated, please do so I can send them right away.

Thanks God for Sunny Days. 

Close up of sketch, I love recycling music sheets :)
