I made a 10 ways to use your Pareo manual for a Dominican handmade Brand Beachwear by VIK. Came out pretty cute and practical on a 8.5" x 11" inches folded paper. Soon I'll post a picture of how it looks printed and how it folds.

But here some of the illustrations I created for it.

Have a great day and don't forget to check their pareos on facebook and Instagram.

WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN

I can't even explain how I felt watching this movie, or what I would've done to Kevin, if I was in his mom's (Tilda Swinton) place. hehehe Am a good person but Wow Kevin you really made me think about murder for a second. If you've seen this movie, I bet you felt the same way.

But really, this is such a good movie, I had to make a fan Poster for it. That actually came out pretty cool, I think this would make a really good book cover.

have you seeing it? did you liked it? and If you have do you like this poster.

Is all digital and the typography was hand written by me.

Love this band

The Lumineers

I've heard a couple of songs of them but actually had no Idea Who they where until last night when I made a quest on finding out who this new(to me) band was. The song I was hearing on the radio was  Ho Hey that actually reminds me to the song Home from Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros. One of my all time favorite. I'll share that song too and the end of the post. But after searching, I realized there was another song of them I love; Stubborn Love.

So here are the songs I've enjoyed the most of them. 

And yes I still listen to the radio(good Stations), specially on my way to work and back. Nothing is more exiting than listen to a song many times and having to find out who they are and what other songs they have. And most of the times you hear a song you had a long time without hearing or just wouldn't think of hearing or don't have on your endless itunes library but makes you happy.

Do you still listen to the radio like me?

Love, Karla

P.S. A newer song of Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic  Zeros to fall for is Child and the video is so touchy.

NOSTALGIA MEXICANA

I made this illustration for two of my favorite people, Karen & Joan. Hope they enjoy it at there home as much as I did making it. I'll take a picture of the print in their home and post it later.

Love, Karla

Ps: Just finished watching Les Misérables what an amazing movie. Heart breaking & completely beautiful. Couldn't stop thinking about my dad while watching it, Victor Hugo's master piece was one of my dad's old time favorite. And I most say Anne Hathaway made me cry over and over again.

SUCH A CUTE VIDEO

I know is not Christmas anymore but this video is so cute I had to share. If you've seen before sorry, just don't click on it, unless you feel like to and if you have seen it, most likely you feel like to. Hope you have an amazing week.

I promise to post more illustrations really soon, maybe even tonight.  I just being super busy with the wedding plans and a lot of work that I hope to be able to share with you all very soon.

Love, Karla
