Meet Greenery- Pantone Color of the Year 2017
Pantone has made its official yearly announcement, and they have chosen Greenery as their color of the year 2017.

For the love of all things camo! I absolutely love camo (and wear a garment or accessory of that pattern at least 3 or 4 times a week). Yesterday I saw the Spring Summer 2017 collection by Marc Jacobs, that he presented in New York Fashion Week and fell in love! (you can check out the…
What’s in my travel art supplies bag?
As you may have seen on my social media, I’m currently in Buenos Aires (my hometown) for a few days. I -obviously- brought my travel art supplies bag down here with me, and I thought I’d share it in the blog since I always get a ton of questions about the tools I use. I…
When fashion illustration imitates reality: behind “Jungle Pop”

My favorite neon art supplies
It’s no secret that I love neon, and that I love to incorporate it on my artwork. There is a variety of tools that I use to give from just a pop to a full patch of neon where needed. Whenever I find neon materials at an art supply store, I have to pick them up!…
Get Their Look: Bodysuits + high-waisted jeans
Bodysuits and high-waisted jeans have turned into fashion staples over the past few seasons. These combined are super cute, sexy and quite effortless. They are also a nice transition to fall if you choose long-sleeved ones. For an extra pop of 90s glam, add a choker. My favorites: xo,
An insight into my creative process
I recently asked my followers on Instagram and Twitter, what were the topics they would like to see on my blog. Some of the questions that kept popping was “What’s your creative process like?” and “Where do you find inspiration to create your illustrations?” Those are tricky (but great questions) since it comes quite natural to…
