This bear will need more time to learn to swim. Switch off.

Back in April I submitted my first entry for an illustration competition: London Cloud Ride for the Cycling in London Competition.

Yesterday I delivered the pictured framed artwork to the Association of illustrators as it will be part of the Cycling in London exhibition at the London Transport Museum from the 5th of July to the 22nd of August 2010.

It was unexpected and it feels just amazing to have a first professional recognition about my illustration work as well as serving a sustainable cause.

Again, Thank you.

…and don’t look around you might get excited.

A green thought that came during my last Eurostar trip to Paris, watching an infinity of identical character-shaped pylons in the middle of a beautiful land. Surprisingly inspiring.

After 21 months of sketching, wondering, blogging, doubting and learning, a lot, I’m more than happy to announce the launch of my first online illustration portfolio.

It might sounds (smell?) cheesy but I really want to thanks everyone who supported me during the past couple of years: family, friends, colleagues and even people I don’t know :) So you know, I’m excited to go ahead.

Thank you.

As my family recently got bigger I thought I should give a try to do something cute in order to develop my children’s book illustration side. It’s been a refreshing & peaceful process and the targeted audience has approved :)

I’ve been too busy to feed my blog during the past few weeks so, to keep the flow going, here is another free sketch experimentation from the (hot!) London underground. More to come soon!
