Winter Whites

Well I have had this illustration ready for when the first snow would fall from the sky this Winter. But I guess (HOPE) we are having the mildest Winter in 300 years (I think I read that somewhere...).

So here goes my Snow Angel...

Perhaps I like this scan of the Isis drawing better. What do you think?

Colour Your Life

Today is your day to paint life in bold colours; 

set today's rhythm with you heart-drum;

walk today's march with courage;

create today as your celebration of life

Like a Butterfly, I have been reborn

with bold colours and strong wings

- J. Lockwood Huie

Wake Up

Open your eyes

Shu Uemura

Shu Uemura (植村 秀 Uemura Shū^?, June 19, 1928 – December 29, 2007) was a Japanese make-up artist and founder of the Shu Uemura internationalcosmetics line which bears his name.^[1][2]

Peter Philips

CHANEL creative director of Make-Up Peter Philips credits his success at the brand to his "great cooperation" with its creative director Karl Lagerfeld.

Tasked with creating the beauty looks for all Chanel shows, as well as concocting new make-up collections every season, Philips has star status in the industry - having developed some of the world's most coveted beauty products since his arrival at the helm of Chanel Make-Up five years ago.

"Every time Karl comes up with a theme it's a pleasure to make a new look using both the products that I have and new ones. It's very satisfying when it all comes together".

Linda Cantello

I was asked to do portraits of the beauty directors of major beautybrands for Milk X Magazine December edition. I will post all of them here the coming week. 

Giorgio Armani international make-up artist Linda Cantello.

She established herself in the late eighties, and since has collaborated with every major photographer in the industry, from Irving Penn and Richard Avedon to Steven Klein and David Sims. Linda Cantello’s influence has a broad and impressive reach. Her makeup regularly appears in all of the fashion and beauty books, from American, British, Italian, and French Vogue and Harpers Bazaar, to I-D and Dazed and Confused. Her advertising clients include almost all the major cosmetics companies and fashion houses. 

Happy Halloween

Wednesday it's Halloween, so I made this illustration to wish you all a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

P.S. I based this on an image I found somewhere, but I cannot remember where, if anyone knows please let me know so I can credit properly. 

Preview Milk X publication

In the next MilkX Magazine (Hong Kong) my illustrations are featured in an article about the Cosmetic Creative Directors of brands like Armani and Shu Uemura.

Here is a little sneak peak:

Mylene Farmer

As well as illustrations for fashionblogs and -magazines I also do drawings for individuals. I even draw pets if you like me to! I have drawn babies, cats and ofcourse portraits. 

Last week I did this drawing of Mylene Farmer for a client. 

Mylène Farmer is a French singer, songwriter, occasional actress and author.

She has sold more than 30 million records and is among the most successful recording artists of all time in France. She holds the record for the most number one hits in the French charts, with twelve to date, eight of which were consecutive. Her best-known songs include "Désenchantée", "Pourvu qu'elles soient douces", "Sans contrefaçon", "Libertine", "XXL", "C'est une belle journée", "Rêver", "Les Mots", "Oui mais... non" and "Lonely Lisa". (source: Wikipedia).

Désenchentée is still one of my favourtite songs ever. And the album L'Autre I still listen to quite often.
