Calaveritas in the works

First Calavera of 2014

And in between painting, I've been experimenting with dolls again. This one has so many new details ;) It will be up for grabs! Also new paintings coming soon featuring my Calavera girls. I can't wait to show you guys!!!   

Also, sorry to say but I am still not doing or taking commissions at the moment. I am enjoying a bit of free time to explore my new ideas and experiment with my art. Last year was really draining and I feel like I really need to recharge before taking on commissions.

These days

I've been painting like crazy because I've been so inspired lately and I am enjoying my current stress free situation. Also working on two new personal dolls in between these paintings. 

Myna and Tumbu

Taking a little break from doll posts to announce that our children's book "Myna and Tumbu" is now out on  amazon as an e-book. We have been working on this book for a while now and I am so happy to finally see it out. I had so much fun working on it. Tumbu was inspired by my dear feline friend, Nico, who unfortunately passed away last November. I will always remember the countless times I spent crawling around on the floor, trying to get him to pose for my camera so that I could use him as reference.

Here's a tiny synopsis:

Myna’s life in the jungle changes when her family adopts an orphaned baby tiger. The cub, Tumbu, quickly becomes her best friend but doesn’t stay a baby for long! How does Myna’s family solve the problems of having a full grown, but somewhat quirky, tiger in the house?

I hope you guys will have a look, here's the link:
