it's raining

The Connection (scanned image)





that insane thing





The Cookie Song




The week ended and the rain didn't stop here in the south, like 'singing in the rain' i draw The cookie song on my Moleskine. That Insane Thing... no need for more words! It's a watercolor sketch. I liked the idea of a rebellious hair and i mixed it with that insane feeling - l o v e - and the relations between couples. So, The Connection is a portraiture of lovers, a new Lovers Portrait, printed with gocco on a limited edition of 50.


have a great weekend! :)

self portrait 'If i were green'


I was tagged by Brian :D

1 - I love self portraits, cover my face with things and laugh a lot with it. Then i like to photograph the moment and share with others so they can laugh too.

2 - I like the simple way my mother chose my name 'Ana because i like it, Margarida (daisy) because it's a flower'.

3 - Read it lowly, please :)
Always liked to paint walls including the first year on the university. Since then till today, the guilty ones were never caught .

4 - I don't like green beans but I'm a vegetable devotee. Meat is not for me, either.

5 - My feet never reach the floor.

6 - I can't live without concerts or camping in the woods.

Equilibrating myself




Garden Girl | original illustration




Miss Chilly Pepper | gocco screen print on large Moleskine





working&working&sketching&working, i do not do anything else, am I going crazy?




Yes, Portugal is a peculiar country, since i have more visitors outside Portugal I'll try to just post in English! Fair enough!

I'm working hard, the weekends look like the rest of the week and so on... sometimes i think i should calm down but economical crises are everywhere, knock knock. I must confess that it makes me laugh (ironic) , Portugal is in crises since i know myself! :=
So, speaking about work, I'm doing some original illustrations. Usually my draws stay forever in sketchbooks, but this time it will be different! No, I'll not try to sell my entire sketchbooks, eheheh!

Garden Girl is an original illustration, mixing watercolor and many kinds of markers, available at my etsy shop, next to the last promotion in did on Gocco screen prints, Yeah! I'm celebrating one year of selling in etsy so i decided to keep up the promotion for some days.

The last photo shows one of my improvised working tables, where i am surrounded by good company. here you can see the notes and the ugly towel, ehehehe!




Have a great week and try to equilibrate yourself! :)
