Illustration Friday - Smoke

"Where there is smoke there is fire"
Old Brazilian (and worldwide) proverb

Koi fishes are good luck too.

"According to Japanese legend if a koi succeeded in climbing the falls at a point called Dragon Gate on the Yellow River it would be transformed into a dragon. Based on that legend, it became a symbol of worldly aspiration and advancement.
More generally, the Japanese associate koi (also known as carp) with perserverance in adversity and strength of purpose. Because of its strength and determination to overcome obstacles, it stands for courage and the ability to attain high goals."
From FAQ Farm.

Hey! We've got bodies now!

Big Eyes

This one is a remake. My first draft (that you can see in a post below) was not quite right, so I decided to do it again. Next step: paint it in a big canvas.

Bag of bones

Another one inspired by Missshapes. Have a nice week!

MissShapes

MissShapes, another inspiraton. And this time, only women allowed.

No time to draw

Because I am too busy painting!

Illustration Friday - Ghost

Whenever I am feeling blue, I like to have Billie Holliday's ghost haunting me.

GHOST OF A CHANCE
Victor P. Young / Bing Crosby / Ned Washington

I need your love so badly
I love you oh so madly
But I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you
I thought at last I found you
But other loves surround you
And I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you
If you'd surrender
Just for a tender
Kiss or two
You might discover
That I'm the lover
Meant for you
And I'd be true
But what's the good of scheming
I'm dreaming
For I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you
Cuz I don't stand
A ghost of a chance
With you

Pink

Pink... because I am so blue these days.

Illustration Friday - Smitten

This is Suflé, a sweet french bulldog that I had to give away for addoption just yesterday because my husband didn't like him and made his life here at home quite unpleasant.
At first, I was smitten by his sweeteness... and now I am smitten by his absence.

This guy is just about to get himself in trouble.

Busy week / Semana agitada

It has been a busy week, so I apologise for not being here everyday, as usual.
These four men are really something, aren't they?

Tem sido uma semana ocupada então eu peço desculpas por não estar aqui todos os dias, como de costume.
Esses quatro caras são demais, né?
