🍅 "Harlequin in Harlequins." My own take on the style of Giuseppe Arcimboldo. This is one of 3 illustrations in this month's newsletter. This month, the topic is harlequins, aka. Parisian street food of La Belle Époque. Check it out! Link in bio.
🌳👒 "Strolling." A loose watercolor painting based on a photo from Illyanna Maisonet's newsletter (@eatgordaeat) She shares her perspective, her stories, and pictures from her various adventures with her mother, aka. Mami. I loved this picture, and I really enjoyed painting this: the loose watercolor gives a dreamy feel that I really dig.
🍏😙 "Medlar Face." While reading for my newsletter about medlars, I came across this Turkish expression: to be "medlar-faced" means that you have a permanently sour expression. I thought that would make a good cartoon, and so voilà!
🎨 "Drip." (➡️SWIPE for full piece) Abstract watercolor fun, using exclusively handmade watercolors by @atelierindigomanouche, a France-based artisanal watercolor maker. I'd never used handmade watercolor before, and I was pleasantly surprised.
🌠🎀🌈 CAN YOU GUESS THE INSIPRATION?
🍾 Malta! My latest newsletter is now live, and it's all about malta: the drink, not the country. I have a lot of feelings around it, and learned some interesting history surrounding it: particularly, the historical intersection between Germany and Puerto Rico. To read my essay about the history of this drink, check my bio for the link!
