A tribute doodle dedicated to Amy Winehouse

Sad news...soul queen Amy Winehouse is no longer with us... so I made a doodle of her. We all wish she would have gone to rehab...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUmZp8pR1uc

Fashion illustrations for Spanish womenswear brand Diktons

More paper doll inspiration...I made these two fashion illustrations when working on the same summer collection as the garment drawings in the previous post for Spanish womenswear company Diktons. 

They really have that old-fashioned, hand-drawn,  paper-doll-feeling, don´t they? The dress is definitely my favourite.

Illustration; printed garment drawings for Diktons


I just love coloured flat drawings...maybe because they remind me of paper doll clothes. These I made for the fashion company Diktons in Barcelona. I remember I actually scanned the printed fabric we had designed and reduced it to Barbie-scale in order to make the proportions accurate.
