Fashion illustration birthday card

I deeply apologize for not having posted this fashion illustration birthday card! The owner has recently written to me as she couldn’t find her fashion illustration on the blog. I realized that I only posted two!!!

The fashion illustration birthday card was commissioned on the occasion of her 18th birthday by her parents who wanted to celebrate with a one-of-a-kind gift.

Working from the party’s photos I created the fashion illustration card. Add uniqueness to you birthday present and leave the guest of honour open-mouthed for surprise! Drop me an email for more details!

Pope Francis illustration

Only one week ago his smile was unveiled to the world. No, I’m not talking about a fashion icon. That calming smile belongs to the man who dominated the front page of the newspapers and appeared on the TV news around the world since the ending of the conclave.

Habemus Papa. That man is Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the new Italian-Argentine Pope, Pope Francis.

In the Vatican in St. Peter’s Square 200000 people have gathered today to inaugurate Pope Francis’s pontificate with an open-air mass.

With his “we must not be afraid of goodness and we must not be afraid of tenderness” in his invitation, the charismatic Pope Francis won over everybody. Catholics and not Catholics.

Sky Arts award for James Bond film Skyfall

Five months after its debut in cinemas and many awards taken home such as the Academy Award for best original song, James Bond film Skyfall landed another best film award. The 23rd James Bond outing won the film prize at the Sky Arts awards ceremony in London last Tuesday.

From its first appearance in 1962 in Dr. No, the tuxedo has become one of the 007 symbols. Worn by six different James Bond such as Sean Connery, Roger Moore, George Lazenby, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and the latest Daniel Craig with his glazed-eyed look, the tuxedo remains the most popular outfit of all time in the cinema history.

We all know how seductive James Bond is and that satin evening suit contributes to make him irresistible!

Privilege Entertainment illustration: meet the team!

Happy 2013 with macarons illustration!

Inspiration for this macarons illustration has come from a gift delivered to my sister’s for Christmas. A lovely pastel Ladurée box from Paris!

Ladurée macarons do not need any introduction as they are the most popular biscuits and the favourite sweet treats of children. What people might not know is their origins, which are not French, but surprisingly, Italian!

Wishing a 2013 full of sweet things! ;-)

 

Beyoncé and baby Blue Ivy illustration

As holiday approached the Beyoncé and baby Blue Ivy illustration, which goes back to July, went to the drawer!

The pop singer Beyoncé with her daughter Blue Ivy on her hip were caught by paparazzi during their shopping trip to New York City in July. She showed off not only her little girl, but also her newly braided hair tied up in a bun!

The Beyonce and baby Blue Ivy sketch is still unfinished! :-(

London 2012 Olympics: Alex Schwazer and his dream

When sport is not simply fun, but it becomes suffering and a trap. A trap where the most intensive despair knocks on your door and slowly suffocates all your hopes. You find yourself unable to say “enough” and to live the life that you have always dreamt about. Come on, Alex! Now it is the right time to race walk towards your freedom and live that normal life that you have often longed for.

Quando lo sport non è più solo un gioco e divertimento, ma diventa una sofferenza ed una trappola. Una trappola nella quale la disperazione bussa piano piano, ti soffoca piano piano e t’impedisce di dire “basta” e vivere la vita che vuoi. Forza Alex! Ora puoi correre la tua marcia verso la libertà e vivere quella vita normale che tanto hai sospirato.

 

Happy Birthday card: Mini Cooper for Gian Luca!

Gian Luca celebrated his 62nd birthday with a barbecue party surrounded by family members and lifelong friends in a superb location. Unfortunately, weather was not very good, but it did not spoil the party! Guests mingled and had a great time dancing and taking pictures. They all loved Gian Luca’s wife’s cooking.

My birthday card illustration has been a present from the family. I was asked to illustrate the birthday boy with something that he really loves. He has a passion for his black  BMW Mini Cooper and the lake. So both elements were a must!!!

Happy birthday, Gian Luca!

Sheath dress fashion illustration

Below is a fashion illustration I made for a family’s friend, who went to a dinner party. She asked me to design a sheath dress (= tubino) incorporating a bow.

She looked gorgeous!!!

Happy sparkling weekend!
