It's amazing what you can accomplish when you challenge yourself. Not to toot my own horn, but doing fashion portraits in a quick time period was pretty intimidating at first... but I think they turned out quite well! What do you think?
Illustrating for Clé de Peau was an incredible experience, and I'm pretty sad it's over. It would be nice to indulge in their luxurious la cremes all the time... !
Now it's time to rest my (sore) drawing hand and take a day off to enjoy New York! Happy Friday! Hope you all have a fabulous long weekend.
Days like these I’m reminded how lucky I am to be able to do what I do.
A full day of illustrating for Clé de Peau Beauté’s press events (nonstop!) and I don’t feel like I’ve worked at all! What can I say… I love putting paint to paper.
Day one: I spent illustrating each beauty editor from Time Inc. publications. The illustration above turned out to be one of my favorites. It’s Kika Rocha from People Magazine en Español. She had so much personality! Another favorite was Amy Synnott, beauty director of Instyle Magazine. She makes her own jewelry- and it was awesome. Talk about multi talented! See more of the illustrations I did throughout the day here. Which was your favorite?
Today is day two, and I’ll be illustrating over at Hearst with the Clé de Peau ladies. Follow here for updates as I illustrate!
Oh… did I mention Clé de Peau has the most beautifully faceted lipsticks?
Today I’m catching the train to NYC to spend the week illustrating with Clé de Peau Beauté. I’ll be illustrating the editors that come to see the brand’s new collection- and I couldn’t be more excited! On site portraits are challenging, but a little pressure never hurt anyone… eh?
Follow me here and here for photos and updates throughout the days.
Don’t you love this lady’s look? The 40′s & 50′s are definitely my favorite fashion periods. So classic!

This is my friend Maite.
She is a packaging + branding designer from Puerto Rico who I met back in design school. Maite is definitely not afraid of color, if you can’t tell. She wears it so well!
Oh and sorry boys, someone recently put a ring on her… ya snooze ya lose. She’s going to be such a gorgeous bride!!!
When it comes to skincare products, I’m a sucker for simplistic, clean packaging. Kiehl’s and Fresh do it perfectly! These are some of my regulars… been using them for years.
What are your favs?
