Le fils de l'homme (The son of man)

by René Magritte, 1964

"At least it hides the face partly. Well, so you have the apparent face, the apple, hiding the visible but hidden, the face of the person. It's something that happens constantly. Everything we see hides another thing, we always want to see what is hidden by what we see. There is an interest in that which is hidden and which the visible does not show us. This interest can take the form of a quite intense feeling, a sort of conflict, one might say, between the visible that is hidden and the visible that is present".

-Statement by René Magritte when questioned about the painting.

Winter season has finally arrived and not alone, with her comes Christmas carols, Holiday parties, Santa Claus and the cold white snow, which apparently has managed to glaze the fashion industry in white as well, proving that this pure color is not only for the warm weather.

Step into the glacial time of the year as a beautiful ice queen dressed in white from head to toe.

drawing room: wrapped around your fingers

I can't get that line off my mind.. "You've got me wrapped around your finger"... from the song "Linger" by the Cranberries.

drawing room: drink me

I made this illustration inspired by a phrase in a song written by Joaquín Sabina, a spanish singer, songwriter and poet.

The song is called "Corre, dijo la tortuga" which in english means "run, said the turtle"... and the quote in the drawing says "drink me, said the poison".

How many times have we been tempted by some sort of poison?

How many times have we drunk it?

I did.

merry christmas

"But for now, let me say... without hope or agenda.. just because it's Christmas,
and at Christmas you tell the truth,
to me, you are perfect"
-Love Actually

My favorite Holiday movie (Love Actually) could not have expressed it better... "to me you are all perfect". Thanks for reading my sillyness of a blog; I hope you all have an awesome Christmas and get all those things you sincerely wished for.

Merry Christmas darlings.

drawing room: no more flowers

A while ago, I think 3 or 4 months ago, I drew this next illustration... in spite of what I was feeling at the moment (obviously love)..



..but as all things in life.. it had to end.. and now I was drawn into sketching this next illustration... I guess it's a "part 2" of the first one.

neon pink

inspiration: Lolita

-Humbert Humbert: What makes you say I've stopped caring for you?
-Lolita: Well, you haven't even kissed me yet, have you?
-From the movie LOLITA (1962), by Stanley Kubrick

I've been feeling inspired by Lolita these days... to be childish and provocative... is that the key?

If you haven't seen the film, I HIGHLY encourage you to do so (or read the book by Vladimir Nabokov); but look for 1962, Stanley Kubrick's edition.

drawing room: rain

"I'm glad the rain is coming down hard..
it's the way I feel inside"
-Sylvia Plath (from Letter's Home)

I kind of relate to all of them, just right now, at this moment.. all in the same time.
I'm sure in one point or another, most of you have gone through this phases too, right?

thriller

A jacket I made, inspired by Michael Jackon's famous "Thriller" jacket.. love that video!

...It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight, you see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it
You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes
You're paralyzed

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
And no one's gonna save you from the beast about strike
You know it's thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight...
(lyrics of Thriller)
