Illustration
Recently, a childhood friend, Andrea Pernambuco Toledo, released a kid’s book called Sacita, it is in Portuguese, but if you can’t read the language, at least you can make up your own story, the illustration is so beautiful!
Last night, after putting the kids to bed, I sat in my studio and started day dreaming about how interesting would be translating the world to kids through illustration.
It was very late at night, but inside me I had this urge to produce something that my kids would identify themselves with.
I stared at my painting and wondered how would be to put a little child look into my buildings.
I searched for inspiration on line and today this is what I came up with.
There are many different layers of paint, paper and scribbles, my eyes are sore, It was a busy night!
Oh I forgot to put the black cat there!
Can you see him walking on top of the roof?!
What else can you see?
