Metrocable

I have been a bit homesick lately....

This is a drawing of one of the 'comunas' (known in other places as fabelas or slums) in Medellín. In recent years there has been a beautiful social change and they have become a much better place for people to live in. Beautiful libraries and great transportation systems as the Metrocable have been built and are driving this change.

Picture Pig

The Picture Pig gang were so kind inviting me to be part of it. I'm so proud to be in such good company!

Last days with family

Nostalgia over a glass of water I had two days before coming back from Colombia

Finders Keepers

Kate, Matt and I will be part of the Finders Keepers art room on the 4th and 5th of December. It's a great atmosfere and so many trendy stuff, a great oportunity to get a special christmas gift. All are invited!

My Lucky Card

We just came back from our long vacations. We had a lovely time with family and friends back home and will be hard to get the rithm again.

While being there I got to go to the Hartas Artistas exhibition in Medellín and finally met PowerPaola in person!

Daniel and I bought a card for a raffle.... Even though I never win anything this time we picked the lucky card, 3 of spades, and won an incredible drawing by Juana Newman.

I thought I should draw the card...

Colombia is back!

Photo taken from the Lonely Planet website

I was doing some research in Lonely Planet for a job today and had a nice surprise when I saw the Colombia guide used for a promotional on the home page (Colombia's guide hasn't been very popular in the past years as people think the country is too dangerous to visit).

I got curious and searched for Colombia on the destinations (still in Lonely Planet) and felt SUPER PROUD to find the title 'Colombia is back' and a very nice and true introduction...

I would love my friends to read it and see there is a reason why I can't stop talking about my country.

I wouldn't mind doing this 'From Panama to Colombia... by boat' trip on my next visit which is comming soon, but I suffer badly from motion sickness.

Powerhouse Play Late

I had a so much fun drawing 'comics' with Kate, Matt and Sony (we buy your kids) at the Powerhouse Museum.

These are some photos from Halene

And this one from Daniel

Heart Handmade

My work is featured on the lovely Heart Handmade blog with a short interview.

Thanks Marichelle!

Waiting for some prints at a Surry Hills cafe...

New Showreel!

The Jacky Winter Group 2009 showreel is out and it's great!

I just found this very old drawing I did with the mouse... about six years ago!

FindersKeepers

I was part of the featured wall at the Finders Keepers markets last weekend. The event was great and there were probably too many people Friday night. I did fantastic in terms of feedback and sales and also purchased beautiful things.

mmmm!!

We had the best food experience a week ago at Berowra Waters Inn.

Business Cards

I printed some business cards with the Gocco last week and they look cute!

I know... this is a bad picture...

Mower

This mower was one of the objects I draw for that massive Calliden job.

Daniel's bikes

Daniel is always asking me to draw his bikes and it is hard to forget about them as half our unit is for parking.... so here it is! the drawing of Daniel's Road Bike plus extras.

Take a deep breath

This was one of the jobs that kept me very busy in January.
It was made for Calliden Insurance, they insure home, trade, small business, rural, events, sport and motor... quite a lot of work and level of detail...
I publish it just now as brochures and annual reports are rolling out in print. I will get some copies this or next week, can't wait to see them.

T&L

I did some illustrations for Travel & Leisure Australia magazine. It's a cool article that showcases a recognized chef from each state. It has a special recipe from each using highlighted ingredients from the respective state.
I will upload my website very soon and will be adding separate images for a better view.

My Material World

I finished these small gocco prints this week... they have been parked for ages waiting for the black ink!

GW

I did some illustrations for the Good Weekend magazine. It comes with the Sydney Morning Herald every Saturday, and these were for an article on the St. Valentine's issue.

What is Love, actually?

I did some illustrations for the valentine's issue of Notebook Magazine. The full page image is printed on thicker paper as it is one of the separators, so when I opened the mag it was the first thing I saw. Nice! The birds appear on the Index page as well... I love how everything came out printed.

sneak-pick

If you were wondering what was keeping me so busy here is a sneak-pick of one of the jobs that I just finished. This one ate most of those pencils!
I will upload the finalized image soon.

I have been VERY busy lately...

Olympic Kamikaze

Few days ago we went to cycle at the Olympic Park because Daniel is crazy about bikes. These are our sporty friends doing a Kamikaze down hill in a tandem bike!

Sydney Summer

I have been really busy lately even on Christmas but it's summer in Oz so I managed to take a couple of days to enjoy some sunny warm days around the beach. It's really nice to have a swim and snorkel in any of the beautiful bays around Sydney even though water is much colder than in the Caribbean.
